About Social Driver
Social Driver is a leading communications and digital agency that partners with top brands, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations to create impactful campaigns, engagement strategies, and digital experiences. We believe in the power of partnerships, storytelling, and community-driven solutions to move people and organizations forward.
We are seeking a Director of Digital Strategy & Web Partnerships to serve as a senior digital leader focused on leveraging technology, web strategy, and digital ecosystems to scale Social Driver’s impact across client initiatives. This role will work in close partnership with the Director of Engagement Strategy & Partnerships, Project Management, and cross-functional teams to develop data-driven, user-centric, and technically sound digital solutions that power movement-building, engagement, and organizational transformation.
About This Position The Director of Engagement | Web, UX, & Digital Strategy serves as the primary client leader, strategic advisor, and digital partner to mission-driven organizations, B2B brands, and industry-leading organizations seeking transformative digital experiences. This role is ideal for a senior-level professional with proven experience shaping digital strategy, UX excellence, and technical solutions that power growth and innovation.
This is a peer role to the Director of Engagement — Strategy & Partnerships. While that role leads clients focused primarily on messaging, partnerships, communications, and coalition-building, this role leads clients whose primary needs are technical, UX-driven, and rooted in digital platform optimization.

Whether leading a full-scale redesign, a web modernization effort, or a multi-year website maintenance relationship, this Director ensures client goals are translated into clear digital strategy — and then into successful internal execution.
