Block

Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams — People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more — provide support and guidance at the corporate level. They work across business groups and around the globe, spanning time zones and disciplines to develop inclusive People policies, forecast finances, give legal counsel, safeguard systems, nurture new initiatives, and more. Every challenge creates possibilities, and we need different perspectives to see them all. Bring yours to Block.

Creative Studio collaborates with teams across Block to communicate big ideas and translate brand narratives into creative work. As an in-house team of designers, writers, and producers, we combine art, design, and storytelling to create everything from campaigns and identity systems to interactive experiences and 3D and motion work. 

As our Social Media Manager, you will partner closely with writers and designers across Creative Studio as well as stakeholder teams such as Comms, I&D, Investor Relations, and others. This is truly a unique opportunity to unlock your creativity and create inspiring and intriguing content that pushes past the norm and into the digital frontier. No idea is too out there.

When it comes to our social channels we regularly fall down rabbit holes, revel in double meanings and deep cuts, and take deep dives into the weird, meta nature of the very online community. We stay humble and grounded, and find ways to open our community to everyone. If your brain vibrates at this frequency, join us on this wild ride.

This role will report to the Editorial Lead. For consideration, please send over several work samples that give us a sense of your range. We’re interested in seeing creative work and personal projects in addition to your professionally published words.

• A proven track record of building communities online
