• Be the go-to voice for each brand, aligning content with campaign calendars and marketing strategy
• Collaborate with sales and customer service teams to ensure timely, professional responses to DMs, comments, and queries
• Work alongside our digital and creative teams to deliver a cohesive, conversation-friendly social presence
• Use social media tools like Sprout Social (or others you recommend) to streamline workflows and improve performance
• Track and report on KPIs, engagement, sentiment, and channel growth – using insights to inform optimisation
• Stay ahead of platform trends, algorithm updates, and social innovations to keep our brands fresh and relevant

About you

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in a social media role, either agency-side or in-house, ideally with multi-brand exposure
• Strong portfolio of creative content and campaign work that brings brand stories to life
• Confident working independently, but collaborative and open to cross-functional teamwork
• Organised and efficient, with experience managing multiple platforms and priorities
• Comfortable using analytics tools to measure impact and refine strategy
• A warm, creative communicator who thrives in a friendly, close-knit team
• Awareness of how social media integrates with SEO, ecommerce, and wider content strategy

• Experience in wellness, retail, or food and drink sectors
• Ability to film and edit short-form video for Reels, TikTok, etc.
• Personal blog or social media presence showcasing your content skills
