Role Overview

We’re hiring a Social Media Manager to bring hands-on channel execution, content creation and strong planning and performance ownership. You’ll run day-to-day social for key accounts across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, lead publishing and community systems, create and direct iPhone-first content, and turn performance data into clear insights and next steps. You’ll collaborate closely with creatives, producers, and paid specialists.

Key Responsibilities

• Build monthly content calendars and channel plans aligned to client objectives and KPIs.
• Translate brand platforms into clear social pillars, repeatable series, and weekly priorities (with oversight from senior leads).
• Spot trends early and turn them into brand-safe, platform-native ideas with a simple test-and-learn approach.
• Own publishing across IG, TikTok, and Pinterest: scheduling, posting, QA, and approvals.
• Manage community management day-to-day: tone of voice, response frameworks, and escalation pathways.
• Confidently shoot iPhone-first content (video, photo, stories) that is platform-native and on brand.
• Write tight hooks, briefs, and captions. Build shot lists and coordinate quick-turn capture on set when needed.
• Collaborate with designers, editors, creators, and producers to deliver consistently strong output.
• Support paid social performance by partnering with paid specialists or running tactical boosts and tests. Comfortable in Ads Manager and TikTok Ads at a working level.
• Help connect creative learnings to results, and feed insights back into the content plan.
• Track performance, analyse results, and produce clear monthly reporting with insights, experiments, and recommendations.
• Be a dependable day-to-day contact: run check-ins, manage timelines, and keep stakeholders aligned.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure brand consistency and smooth delivery.
• Improve workflows, templates, and QA to scale quality and speed.
• Support and guide Social Media Executives and freelancers on best practice, feedback, and delivery standards (not full-time line management, but active support).

Qualifications

• 4 to 5+ years managing brand social channels, with strong Instagram and TikTok experience (agency background preferred).
• Proven ability to grow accounts through smart planning, consistent content, and strong community habits.
• Confident shooting iPhone video and guiding edits, with a strong eye for social-first creative.
• Working knowledge of paid social setup and optimisation, plus strong reporting and insight writing.
• Strong writing, communication, and project management skills.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple workstreams and deadlines.
