Communications Manager
Viant Technology, Irvine, CA, United States
What You’ll Do
Viant is looking for a Communications Manager to join a high‑performing, fast‑moving team at a pivotal moment in the company's growth. This role sits at the intersection of advanced social media strategy, event content strategy and executive communications – and requires someone who can operate at a strategic level while rolling up their sleeves to produce polished, high‑stakes content.
You’ll be working closely with our Director of Communications and serving as a key resource for executives, enterprise sales leaders and cross‑functional partners across the organization. This role is central to building Viant’s brand on LinkedIn and X, sharing our story in real time with authenticity and impact across major industry moments.
THE DAY‑TO‑DAY Social Media Management
Lead the strategy and oversee day‑to‑day operations of Viant’s organic social media channels, combining strategic thinking with hands‑on execution to drive reach, engagement and measurable business impact.
Develop platform‑specific content strategies and manage a social calendar that ensures a consistent brand voice across every touchpoint—working closely with the Communications Specialist on scheduling, community management, real‑time engagement and leveraging AI‑powered tools.
Proactively bring new ideas for expanding Viant’s social presence—including video‑first storytelling, influencer and creator‑style content, and innovative approaches to reaching leading brands and senior marketers.
Champion a video‑first mindset across social platforms, identifying opportunities to translate events, announcements and executive perspectives into compelling short‑form content that performs natively.
Define and track KPIs, develop reporting frameworks, and deliver actionable performance insights and optimization recommendations to leadership.
Leverage AI‑powered tools for content creation, sentiment monitoring, social listening and workflow automation to continuously work smarter and scale impact.
Event Content & Speaker Preparation
Own end‑to‑end development of speaker materials for tentpole, regional and vertical events—including abstracts, talking points, slide narratives and prep sessions for internal leaders while coordinating with external clients and partners.
Manage a growing roster of company speakers across a broad range of external speaking opportunities, from major industry stages to vertical‑specific events.
Serve as the internal standard‑bearer for speaker readiness, ensuring every Viant representative who takes a stage is thoroughly prepared, confidently positioned and a polished reflection of the brand.
Partner with Growth Marketing and Sales to establish intake processes that allow for strategic, not reactive, content development.
Ensure every stage moment reflects the Viant brand with precision and consistency.
GREAT TO HAVE
8–10 years of experience in communications and social media, preferably in B2B, with meaningful exposure to both social content management and event/speaker content.
A strong social media instinct—understanding what performs, what resonates and how to build a voice that cuts through.
Demonstrated ability to write and edit at a high level across formats—from stage abstracts to LinkedIn posts to executive talking points.
Familiarity with the media and advertising landscape, understanding the players and conversations worth joining.
Strong editorial judgment and the ability to push back constructively when content doesn’t meet the standard.
Experience managing multiple workstreams and stakeholders simultaneously without losing quality or composure.
A collaborative, low‑ego approach—comfortable in a prep session with a C‑suite executive as well as drafting a post that needs to go live in the next hour.
Prior experience in a high‑growth or publicly traded company is a plus.
LIFE AT VIANT In accordance with California law, the salary range is $100,000–$120,000 per year. Final title and compensation will depend on experience and education.
Benefits include fully paid health insurance, paid parental leave, unlimited PTO and more.
