Job description

Recruitment Specialist - Marketing, Digital & PR at Next Chapter Recruitment

Let’s Start with You.

You’ve got that rare mix; creative flair with a strategic mindset and a knack for getting things done. You know how to take a brief and turn it into content that makes people stop scrolling, start reading, and actually care.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, read on because we’re looking for a Content Manager to help bring brilliant ideas to life for some of the biggest names across the food & drink industry.

You’ll be leading day-to-day content delivery, guiding a small but mighty team, and collaborating with strategists, designers and performance pros to make sure everything created doesn’t just look good, but resonates.

This is a hybrid role with three days in the office, two days remote, with travel to client shoots and events when required.

What You’ll Be Doing

Turning Strategy into Stories

• Transform big-picture thinking into content plans that hit all the right notes.
• Lead brainstorms and planning sessions where ideas flow freely.
• Keep your eye on what’s new and next in content, formats and storytelling.

Creating, Shaping, Perfecting

• Oversee brilliant content across blogs, socials, newsletters, case studies, email campaigns and more.
• Review and refine work from your team so every piece feels sharp, clear and on-brand.
• Collaborate with designers, videographers and motion magicians to make ideas pop.
• Make sure everything aligns with each client’s voice, values and vibe.

Leading by Example

• Guide and mentor Content Executives, helping them grow their craft.
• Keep the team motivated, supported and buzzing with ideas.

Owning the Client Relationship

• Be the go-to content partner for your clients.
• Present ideas and reports that make strategy feel exciting.
• Jump into pitches and proposals with energy, insight and great storytelling.

What You’ll Bring to the Table

• 4+ years creating or managing content in an agency or B2B environment.
• A solid track record of taking projects from idea stage to success.
• Experience leading or mentoring others.
• Excellent flair for writing and editorial instinct.
• Comfort with tools like Asana, Airtable, Brandwatch or Sprout, or a willingness to learn.
• Curiosity, creativity and a passion for delivering brilliant campaigns.

Why Apply?

This is an incredible opportunity in a leading agency at a truly exciting time of growth. You’ll have the opportunity to help shape campaigns for brands people actually talk about; join a team that values ideas, initiative and good humour as much as KPIs; collaborate with brilliant minds who’ll challenge and champion you in equal measure and you'll have space to experiment, grow and make a genuine impact.

In addition to working in a highly dynamic market with some of the best known and best loved brands as your clients, they offer a whole host of benefits including enhanced holiday entitlement, starting at 25 days and increasing with service; individual employee training budgets and development programmes; enhanced and escalating maternity and paternity leave along with a whole host or health & wellbeing and team/office perks.
