Real Chemistry is looking for an Associate Director, Social Media to join our growing Activation team. This is role for someone who is ready to help manage high-quality social programs, develop smart content and keep complex work moving across healthcare clients. 

For us, social isn’t just a channel — it’s a craft. Our team brings together healthcare knowledge, creative thinking, content development, paid media awareness and strong execution to help clients show up with purpose across platforms. 

This is a hybrid role, based in any of our US offices—including New York City, Boston, Chicago, Carmel, or San Francisco—or remotely within the US, depending on team and business needs. This role will primarily support East Coast working hours; candidates based in other time zones may be considered if they are comfortable working East Coast hours. 

What You’ll Do: 

• Help lead social media programs across organic, paid, influencer and integrated workstreams, translating strategy into clear, compliant and platform-native execution. 
• Develop and manage social content plans, editorial calendars, campaign assets, post copy, creative briefs and supporting materials in partnership with strategy, creative, paid media and account teams. 
• Bring an integrated social and digital lens to the work, connecting day-to-day social execution to broader communications goals and client priorities.  
• Support and, at times, lead recurring client and internal meetings, helping turn discussion, feedback and decisions into clear next steps, timelines and deliverables. 
• Coordinate across internal teams, vendors and client stakeholders to keep social content, approvals, publishing and reporting workstreams organized and on track. 
• Communicate recommendations, project updates and social insights in a clear, thoughtful way for clients and cross-functional partners.
