Our Social Influence team are looking for a highly motivated and well-rounded Social Media Manager with a strong creative, organisational and strategic background. This person will be responsible for the social media content and influencer management of a travel brand looking to launch themselves as a true home of travel inspiration in the UK, as well as working with a housing brand to deliver inspiring home and lifestyle content. From time to time, they will have the opportunity to work on other consumer tech and FMCG brands in the business, as well as having exposure to new business pitches.

The brands you will work on will require a mix of traditional social media management, social strategy, and influencer management, so we are looking for a full range social bod with both a keen creative eye and the ability to plan. Experience across the full spectrum of social isn’t necessary, if you can demonstrate the ability to understand the social landscape and have a willingness to learn new skills with appropriate training.

We are looking for confident candidates who are solution-driven, with proven experience in running social media campaigns, who are used to working with a range of social platforms and tools. The ideal candidate should have a keen interest in emerging trends in digital and social and feel confident in implementing these into their recommendations. Prior agency experience is preferred, but we are open to hearing from candidates with relevant experience elsewhere.
