About the job
Who We Are:
Brooks is a team of passionate people united by a desire to do meaningful work, lead healthy lives and make a difference. We share a focused mission: to inspire everyone to run and be active. That’s it. No distractions—it’s all about the run. Through science, creativity, service, authenticity and connection, we obsess over delivering the best running gear on the planet. We do it our way, with our unique spirit, with a goal of being more relevant to runners than any other brand, day after day and mile after mile. We are determined to innovate, challenging ourselves to lead thought at every turn. Inside these walls and on the roads, tracks and trails, we live and breathe Run Happy, celebrating the positive impact running has on our lives and others. We inject it into all we do because it makes everything better, smarter, more fun and more memorable. Our company culture defines us, bonds us together and creates the conditions for success. It is lived daily as a behavioral expression of our collective set of brand values: Connect with People, Innovate for our Customer, Compete as a Team, Build Trust, Have Fun & Bring Passion, and Be Active. If you’re on our team, it means you’re part of creating something extraordinary. You’re part of Brooks.
Your Job:

In short, you are an extension of the Brooks brand, and often, our first line of defense.

! Monitor conversations across competitor groups, escalate strategic attacks on product, and provide insights into competitive landscape
! Provide feedback and key learnings to cross-divisional teams to ensure user feedback is being heard
Qualifications:
! Bachelor’s Degree in marketing, communications or related field, preferred
! 2+ years of professional community and/or social media experience required

! Ability to identify potential risks and strategize around potential road blocks
! Strong networking and communication skills; keeping in line with the voice and personality of Brooks
! Excellent verbal and written communication skills, demonstrating effective listening through concise, clear verbal and written communication.
! Keen attention to detail in planning, organization and execution of tasks, while still seeing the big picture and understanding how all the pieces fit together and affect one another.
! Ability to anticipate how a decision made can affect our customers, our partners, our products or other departments’ operations and/or morale; “connecting the dots.”
! Demonstration of innovation and initiative – always looking at improving our products and processes while also displaying a willingness to dive into the details and help wherever necessary.
