About the Role:

We’re looking for a creative, strategic, and results-driven Digital Brand Manager to lead our digital and social media presence. You’ll play a key role in shaping how our brand connects with people online- building emotional connection, driving engagement, and growing our presence across platforms.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of the in-year digital strategy- creating impactful, platform-appropriate content, developing inclusive partnerships, and localising global assets. You’ll act as a guardian of the brand’s digital identity, ensuring that our content reflects our values and resonates with a wide and diverse audience. This is a fast-paced, collaborative role - ideal for someone who thrives on both creative excellence and data-driven decision-making.

Key Responsibilities:

Brand Strategy & Guardianship

• Ensure all digital content reflects our brand identity, tone of voice, and values.
• Evolve our brand’s digital presence across both established and emerging platforms.

Organic Social

• Manage day-to-day content planning and delivery.
• Create and commission social-first content that is platform-fit, trend-led, and rooted in cultural relevance.
• Lead influencer, creator, and brand partnerships that resonate with our target audience.
• Ensure best-in-class community management, helping build lasting emotional connections with our audience.
• Monitor cultural conversations and trends to ensure timely and appropriate brand participation.

Paid Social

• Support paid media strategy to amplify reach and engagement across key moments and audiences.
• Work with agency and media partners to deliver inclusive, accessible campaigns that reflect our audience.
• Track paid performance against key metrics, using data to continuously refine approach and improve outcomes.
• Support media budget planning and allocation across channels.

Performance, Insights & Reporting

• Define and track success metrics across digital platforms, including reach, engagement and sentiment.
• Lead regular performance reporting and share actionable insights to inform future planning.
• Use social listening and platform analytics to keep a pulse on audience sentiment, competitor activity, and broader digital trends.

Innovation & Platform Leadership

• Stay ahead of emerging trends, features, and platform innovations to ensure we’re always early adopters.
• Build strong relationships with key platform reps to explore new opportunities.
• Actively bring new ideas, trends, and approaches into the team to evolve our ways of working.

Agency & Partner Management

• Oversee day-to-day management of social and content agencies- ensuring work is inclusive, high-quality and aligned with our values.
• Maximise the value of external partnerships, ensuring agencies are performance- and insight-led in their execution.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience managing social media channels, ideally for a consumer brand or agency.
• Strong understanding of platform trends, digital behaviours, and what drives meaningful engagement.
• Confident creating or commissioning content that feels relevant and inclusive.
• Comfortable working with creators, influencers, and partners.
• Able to use data and insights to shape content and optimise performance.
• Experience briefing and collaborating with teams or agencies.
• Collaborative, positive, and adaptable with a passion for storytelling.
