About the role

This role brings Lilly’s voice to life across our corporate social and digital channels as a hands-on content creator — making sure everything we publish looks and sounds unmistakably like Lilly: human, caring, and centered on the people we serve. It’s a rare opportunity to make a global company’s purpose — making life better — feel human in every post, on every platform.

Reporting to the Senior Director, Digital & Social Media, Global Communications, this role pairs strong craft with sound editorial judgment — turning ideas and enterprise priorities into social-first content that builds community, extends reach, and connects with audiences.

This is a maker’s role for someone who can take a story from concept to published post, writing, producing, and shaping content for the channel it lives on, and continually raising the quality and creativity of the work.

· Translate enterprise priorities and complex topics into clear, engaging stories that reflect Lilly’s voice and resonate with target audiences.

· Maintain a consistent brand voice, tone, and quality standard across content, applying editorial guidance from the Senior Director, Digital & Social Media.

· Ensure content is optimized for both traditional search and AI-generated answers—applying emerging best practices for how brands show up in LLM-powered search.

· Use AI-enabled tools to support ideation, drafting, and production, enhancing the speed and quality of the work without compromising craft.

· Monitor content performance and audience response, applying insights to sharpen and improve future content.

· Support community management and audience engagement across platforms, helping the team move at the speed of the conversation.

· Collaborate with designers, video producers, and digital operations partners to bring content to life and ensure it publishes cleanly and on time.

· Partner with teams across Global Communications to support priority narratives, launches, and landmarks with timely, high-quality content.
