This is a strategic, client-facing leadership role, ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and knows how to build, grow and inspire high-performing teams. You’ll take ownership of the agency’s social media, content, and influencer marketing output—working across a broad portfolio of well-loved consumer and B2B brands.

This role offers significant scope, visibility and impact. You’ll be instrumental in shaping the agency’s future-facing social offer while helping clients stay at the forefront of culture, conversation, and digital innovation.

The Role

• Lead the agency’s social, influencer, and content practice across London, driving its growth and strategic direction.
• Oversee and shape the development of best-in-class campaigns across organic, paid and influencer channels.
• Act as a senior point of contact for key clients—offering strategic counsel, insight and creative leadership.
• Partner with creative, strategy and data teams to develop work that delivers against both brand and commercial goals.
• Play a lead role in new business pitches and RFI responses—owning the social/content perspective.
• Line-manage, mentor and develop a multidisciplinary team, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture.
• Stay ahead of emerging trends, platforms, tools and best practices to ensure clients remain first-movers.

What We’re Looking For

• A strategic and creative leader with deep expertise across social media, content strategy, influencer marketing and paid social.
• Proven experience leading multi-sector accounts and delivering successful campaigns at scale.
• Strong commercial acumen with a track record of contributing to business growth and winning new work.
• Excellent client leadership skills—you know how to build trust and become a true strategic partner.
• A natural team leader and mentor, confident managing and developing talent across all levels.
• Strong understanding of social insights, analytics and measurement—comfortable translating performance into action.
• Passion for digital innovation, culture, and creativity.

This role is suited to someone who’s ready to lead from the front—bringing together insight, creative ambition, and commercial thinking to shape where the agency goes next in the social space.
