1. PURPOSE OF ROLE:

We are seeking a skilled and analytical Social Listening Analyst to design, execute, and deliver custom social listening reports that inform strategic decision-making across the organization. The role involves engaging with stakeholders to gather business requirements and translating them into structured, platform-specific queries that monitor social conversations around internal brands, competitors, products, marketing campaigns, and key events.

The Analyst will be responsible for conducting in-depth analysis of unstructured social media data, identifying key themes and sentiment drivers, and synthesizing findings into concise, insight-driven narratives. The ability to differentiate meaningful signals from noise and communicate insights in a business-relevant context is critical.

This role requires a high degree of independence, as assignments may lack predefined templates or processes. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong problem-solving capabilities, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to manage cross-functional collaboration effectively. Additionally, the role includes working with multilingual content, requiring the Analyst to derive culturally contextualized insights from non-English sources.

• Champion a holistic, consumer-centric view - connecting the dots between what consumers say, how they engage, and what influences their perceptions and behaviors.
• Present insights and recommendations in a clear, structured manner to inform strategic and tactical decision-making.
• Create and edit reporting deliverables in PowerPoint, Excel, and newsletter formats that effectively transform social data into actionable narratives.

• Maintain a recurring and ad-hoc reporting calendar, ensuring timely and accurate delivery of outputs.
• Demonstrate high attention to detail and data accuracy in all reports, with strong written communication and data storytelling skills.
• Proactively refine and optimize social listening queries to ensure data relevance, minimize noise, and enhance the quality of insights.
• Monitor and share industry best practices and case studies to support capability building within the insights function.
• Adhere to global social listening collaboration protocols, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards and processes.
• Apply a blend of technical proficiency, business acumen, and interpersonal skills to interpret data and influence key stakeholders.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high quality and consistency across deliverables.
• Contribute to identifying earned consumer engagement patterns, as well as analyzing campaign-related performance across platforms.
