Vice President, Digital

This role sits at the intersection of three mandates most agencies keep separate: cross-discipline client leadership, digital practice building, and agency marketing.

HAUS is seeking a VP, Digital to lead our digital function across client work and to run HAUS's own marketing department. You'll oversee Directors across social, content marketing, and emerging owned channels; you'll shape the strategy, standards, and business impact of everything we ship digitally; and you'll own how HAUS itself shows up in the world.

The person who does this well is genuinely fluent in both social and long-form content, thinks in ecosystems rather than channels, has scaled teams before, and understands how a modern B2B brand — including our own — is built today.

You'll partner with PR leadership, creative leadership, and the executive team, and report directly to agency leadership.

Running the department

• Lead the digital function across social, content marketing, and emerging owned channels.
• Own the department's vision, structure, staffing model, capacity planning, and contribution to agency P&L.
• Manage the Social Media Director, Content Marketing Director, and Directors of emerging owned channels as we build them out. Coach them on their strategies, their teams, and their careers.
• Own senior hiring and design the org as we scale.
• Set the culture and standards: the bar for craft, judgment, speed, and client trust.
• Represent the department on the agency's leadership team.

Leading client work

• Serve as the senior digital advisor to founders, CEOs, and leadership teams at our most important clients.
• Guide strategy on category creation, launch narratives, executive positioning, and long-arc brand building.
• Lead the digital response for our highest-stakes moments — major launches, crises, media cycles, and reputation events.
• Personally shape the highest-stakes work: founder narratives, category-defining content, brand-forming pieces.
• Partner with account leads on client health, growth, and satisfaction across the digital portfolio.
• Set the editorial bar across everything the department publishes, and ensure our voice — technical, curious, optimistic, sharp — comes through consistently.

Running HAUS marketing

• Own HAUS's own marketing function: positioning, brand, growth, thought leadership, and distribution.
• Set the strategy for how HAUS shows up across our website, social channels, newsletter, podcast presence, events, and industry PR.
• Turn our client work, POVs, and internal expertise into content and campaigns that build the HAUS brand.
• Partner with agency leadership on strategic marketing decisions: pricing narrative, category positioning, competitive differentiation.
• Build the pipeline of inbound interest that supports new business.

Building the practices

• Set POVs and standards for our social practice: platforms, executive positioning, community, listening.
• Set POVs and standards for our content marketing practice: editorial strategy, SEO, long-form, video, podcasts, distribution.
• Identify and build out emerging owned channels: newsletters (Substack, Beehiiv), YouTube, podcasts, communities (Discord, Slack), and formats that don't have names yet.
• Ensure the practices work as a system: social pulls from long-form, long-form seeds community, community informs listening, listening informs strategy.
• Contribute to major pitches, shape how the digital practice is packaged and priced, and lead the development of new service offerings.
• Own the standard for how the department measures success — connecting reporting to real business outcomes: pipeline, brand consideration, media impact, executive positioning, hiring, and category creation.
• Represent HAUS externally through speaking, writing, industry participation, and relationships across the deep tech ecosystem.
