As we continue scaling our social operations, we’re looking for a Content Research Manager to lead the discovery and acquisition of high-performing UGC content for our Facebook brands.

This is a strategic and operational role — perfect for someone with deep platform experience, excellent communication skills, and a sharp eye for high-engagement video content.

• Manage direct outreach to content owners and maintain a high response and conversion rate across global contributors
• Ensure all content is legally cleared, with thorough copyright, IP, and usage rights confirmed, in line with internal protocols
• Supervise day-to-day tasks of junior team members and support team development
• Use editorial judgement to identify content that aligns with brand tone, audience interests, and platform performance trends
• Collaborate with the internal video editing team by storyboarding and briefing edits for licensed content
• Support and help improve scalable workflows for sourcing, reviewing, tagging, and publishing approved videos
• Maintain an organised and trackable pipeline of content submissions, rights requests, and usage records
• Compile daily and weekly performance reports on acquired content, including engagement data, conversions, and KPIs
• Stay up to date with platform trends, Facebook best practices, and compliance risks across international publishing markets

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in content licensing, social publishing, rights acquisition, or UGC video editorial
• Exceptional understanding of Facebook video content, platform standards, and audience preferences
• Proven understanding of copyright, fair use, and content licensing frameworks, particularly in digital media
• Strong communicator across email, phone, and messaging platforms — capable of securing content rights quickly and clearly
• Team leadership qualities with experience delegating tasks, mentoring, and helping structure effective workflows
• Highly organised with experience using performance tools and editorial trackers
• Editorially sharp — able to spot and act on content that will perform across multiple audience types
• Confident briefing creative teams and giving clear feedback
• Comfortable in a high-output, reactive publishing environment
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office, Google Workspace and Meta Business Suite
• Experience storyboarding UGC content for social video editors
• Familiarity with international copyright nuances and digital media compliance
• A keen eye for what’s trending across platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Reddit
