Strategist, Social Media

Cultivate a better world. Food served fast does not have to be a typical fast-food experience. Chipotle has always done things differently, both in and out of our restaurants. We are changing the face of fast food, starting conversations, and directly supporting efforts to shift the future of farming and food. We hope you will join us as we continue to learn, evolve, and shape what comes next on our mission to make better food accessible to everyone.

The opportunity is simple : its the dream role for any culture-obsessing, burrito-loving, chronically online creative who wants to work at an iconic, purpose-driven brand with scale. Need we say more?

We are looking for someone who brings strong creative ideas, solutions, and support for social activations, content creation, collabs, and national brand campaigns. This person will work with the social media team, agency partners, and cross-functional organizations, pushing our content and always-on strategy to benefit the modern consumer, elevate our social tone of voice, and develop brand content that people actually want to see in their feeds. This person knows how to tap into the Gen-Z / Gen Alpha audience to develop social content and IRL experiences that will drive positive brand love and motivate people to crave Chipotle 24 / 7. They will align the brand's social strategy and tactics to meet program and business goals, prioritizing ground-breaking work that makes people pay attention. And they'll love to capture content and dream up new ways for Chipotle to break through the social noise!

This person will be a student of culture, identifying hot trends and monitoring the social and news landscape as it relates to Chipotle and our industry. They'll help find authentic ways in to engage our superfans and amplify real-time opportunities with a bias for action to move quickly on ideas (as inour viral Corn Kid TikTok was produced in 17 hours). And most importantly, they'll be an authentic fan of the brand, bringing in fresh fan-driven insights to keep Chipotle at the forefront of all things social and culture. Thats what were looking for.
