Vice President, Brand and Market Strategy

We are seeking a bold and strategic

VP of Brand and Market Strategy

to define how the market understands SOCi… and the category we are creating.

This is a mission-critical leadership role. You are not just building a brand… you are shaping the narrative for an entirely new category at the intersection of AI, local search, and multi-location marketing.

SOCi expects to pay a base salary in the range of $190,000 - $250,000 CAD base plus bonuses/commission. Within the range, individual pay is determined by factors such as job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
