Social Media Manager
We’re looking for a creative, commercially minded Social Media Manager to join a small, creative marketing team working across a portfolio of premium brands and services. You’ll own social media activity from planning through to delivery, creating standout content, building engaged communities and using insight to drive measurable growth.
Working closely with the wider team, you’ll turn ideas and commercial priorities into distinctive, timely campaigns that reflect the quality of the brands and services we represent. This is a varied, hands-on role for someone who combines strong creative judgement with confidence in performance data.
What you'll be doing
You’ll develop and deliver the organic and paid social media strategy, plan the content calendar and create engaging copy, imagery and short-form video for each channel. You’ll manage day-to-day community engagement, identify relevant trends and partnership opportunities, and plan and report on paid campaigns. You’ll also track performance, turn data into practical recommendations, protect brand reputation and build strong relationships with colleagues, agencies, creators and partners.
What you'll bring
You’ll have experience managing social media channels for a brand, agency or organisation, supported by a strong portfolio of creative and effective work. You’ll be an excellent writer with close attention to detail and a good understanding of the main social platforms, scheduling tools, analytics and paid campaign management. You should be comfortable interpreting performance data, managing several deadlines and working collaboratively as part of a small team.
What we offer
This is an opportunity to shape social media activity for premium brands and services, with genuine creative ownership and visible impact. You’ll work in a supportive, collaborative environment and have room to develop your skills as the role grows.
