Social Media Manager London, England
Job description
Social Media Manager
London
As a Barclays Social Media Manager, you will help deliver best-in-class communications for Barclays digital channels. You will have an eye for what makes an exceptional piece of content and know the importance of getting the detail right to ensure a message lands. You will be working within a busy digital content team that has been tasked with pushing the boundaries and whose role is to use its creative knowledge to help translate key corporate messages into content that drives engagement.
Barclays is one of the world’s largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive, and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances
