Fashion, Online Clothing Brand, Hybrid, 2 days a week in the office

We're working with an ambitious and fast-growing retail group seeking a creative, strategic, and data-driven Content Manager to lead the development and delivery of exceptional brand content across all digital channels.

This is an exciting opportunity for a storyteller who understands how to connect creativity with commercial strategy; someone who can bring ideas to life, build community, and drive measurable growth through content that truly resonates.

As Content Manager, you'll own the full content lifecycle; from planning and production to optimisation and performance analysis. You'll work across social, web, email, and video platforms to ensure every piece of content tells a cohesive brand story and engages the right audience at the right time.

What You'll Do

• Develop and deliver a clear, results-driven content strategy that supports wider marketing and business goals.
• Build and manage detailed content calendars, ensuring campaigns and posts are delivered on schedule.
• Oversee or create high-quality written, visual, and video content across all platforms.
• Ensure brand voice and visual identity are consistent across all channels - from social media to email.
• Apply SEO best practices to increase organic reach and optimise discoverability.
• Use analytics tools to measure engagement, conversions, and ROI, refining strategy based on insights.
• Manage publishing across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, email, blogs, and paid media platforms.
• Stay ahead of trends, platform updates, and cultural shifts to keep content fresh and relevant.
• Engage directly with online communities, fostering loyalty and meaningful interaction.

About You

• Proven experience in content management or digital marketing, ideally within eCommerce or retail.
• Strong creative direction and storytelling ability with exceptional writing skills.
• Confident managing social channels and understanding engagement algorithms.
• Analytical mindset - comfortable working with insights from Google Analytics, Meta, or similar tools.
• Organised, adaptable, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously.
• Basic design/video editing knowledge (e.g. Canva, Adobe, or CapCut).
• A proactive self-starter who combines creativity with commercial focus.

Why Apply

This is the perfect opportunity for an ambitious Content Manager ready to take ownership of a fast-paced, high-impact content function. You'll shape how the brand communicates with millions of consumers; building engagement, growing community, and turning followers into loyal customers.
