Our culture is grounded in our shared values: Raise the Bar, Embrace Differences, and Thrive Together. These values shape how we collaborate, lead, and succeed – across teams, time zones, and career paths.

PROFILE

We are seeking an experienced and strategic Social Media Manager to lead our Firm’s digital presence on social platforms in Canada and help shape our domestic voice in support of our global brand and platform. As a member of the Business Development (BD) & Marketing group, this role is central to positioning our brand as a trusted advisor, showcasing our thought leadership, shaping market and client perceptions, and differentiating our services, initiatives, and people through compelling stories, audience engagement, and clear strategy.

In this role, you will own the firm’s end-to-end social media efforts - from strategy to execution and measurement, copy development to design oversight, organic and paid social campaigns, and more - while directly managing and mentoring a small team. As both player and coach, you will combine leadership with hands-on execution to maximise engagement, resonance, and market differentiation.

You are the Firm’s social heartbeat, designing, executing, and optimising the full ecosystem of owned, earned, and paid social channels. Sitting at the crossroads of brand storytelling, communications, demand generation, and stakeholder engagement, you are a passionate team leader with a strong pulse on the market and competitors, and turn attention into measurable growth while acting like an in-house strategist, creator, writer, analyst, mentor, and trusted advisor.

Social performance, dashboards and careful measurement return clear and sharp insights that influence spend decisions, content pivots, and stakeholder confidence.

The firm’s voice stays consistent yet flexible across LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and others to maximise the value and opportunity of each platform, including new and emerging ones.
Our social presence grows with purpose and stands out from the sea of sameness, attracting high-quality audiences in target sectors, geographies, and talent pools.
