Social Media Officer London, England
Job description
We’re looking for a creative self-starter who will support the Social Media Content Manager in a range of tasks including overseeing the progress of all campaigns and projects that require creative and digital outputs. You will take a lead role in creating video-first content for a range of platforms. Proactive liaison with staff members across the directorate of External Relations will be required to succeed in this role.
You will assist in the day-to-day execution of our social media plans across all platforms. This will include, but is not limited to, leading on video content, managing the schedules, picking up content requests, and some design work (training can be provided). The role requires someone who has both a creative and analytical brain and can use their initiative to think outside the box to come up with solutions and new ideas - think content creator and project manager in one role.
We’re looking for someone who understands and uses social media and is aware of how platforms operate differently from each other, is willing to stay ahead of the curve and come up with creative ideas related to trends. Your opinion will be valued, and we work collectively as a team to keep innovating and creating content that appeals to our audience instead of delivering what we’re sent.
The University of East London is one of the most diverse and vibrant universities in the global capital. Our pioneering and forward-thinking vision is making a positive and significant impact to the communities we serve, inspiring both our staff and students to reach their full potential.
We are looking for forward-thinking, innovative, curious, high-energy, self-aware people who are passionate about making a positive difference and who will thrive in an inclusive and diverse University community who are never not moving forwards.
As one of the most socially inclusive and international Universities and comprising one of the most diverse staff populations in the UK (50% of our professoriate identify from black or minority ethnic backgrounds), we are hugely proud of our track record in reducing inequalities (ranked 1st in the UK & 2nd globally, Times Higher Education Global Impact Rankings, 2020) and our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion is at the heart of Vision 2028.
