About the Role

As Sr. Marketing Manager - Social, Influencer & Brand Partnerships, you bring to Rula a sharp understanding of today’s organic social and earned media landscape — where authentic voices, community-driven engagement, and influential partnerships shape perception more than headlines alone. In this role, you’ll lead Rula’s top-of-funnel earned strategy with a primary focus on organic social, influencer marketing, brand partnerships, consumer PR and events. You'll grow Rula’s brand presence online and beyond by building meaningful relationships with mental health advocates, high profile celebrities, influencers, industry thought leaders and other brand partners, while also steering earned conversations to support larger brand narratives and business priorities.

Your team will collaborate closely with other marketing functions to activate creator-driven campaigns, cultivate communities across platforms, and amplify brand advocacy through both micro- and macro-influencers. Press strategy and media relations will remain a part of your world—but your driving focus will be creating buzz worthy conversations where our audiences are most engaged: social media and real-world cultural moments.

• Experience maintaining strategic consumer press, media relationships, and PR agency partnerships – in support of key marketing moments and larger brand initiatives

• Fluent in the ever-changing social media landscape—from Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit to emerging platforms like Bluesky – offering clear strategic direction to the marketing team on how to harness new channels and trends. Experienced in tracking cultural shifts as part of daily work (Meltwater, Brandwatch, Sprout) and always ready to jump in and support with asset creation (Figma, Canva, Adobe Suite).
