Job description

MHP Group is the integrated communications agency built for the Networked Age – a world that’s increasingly connected, complex, polarised and activist.

We lead the way in the application of behavioural science to solve communications challenges. We create strategies and multichannel campaigns to engage every audience, from consumer to policy maker, and from stakeholder to shareholder.

With 190 experts in London, we are trusted by many of the world’s leading businesses and brands.

We're looking for a social-first thinker who lives and breathes digital culture.

You’ll be someone who spots trends before they appear in everyone's feed, understands what makes audiences stop scrolling and is passionate about using social platforms to solve real business challenges.

This is an opportunity to work across a fascinating mix of brands, sectors and audiences. One day you could be developing an influencer activation, the next shaping a LinkedIn strategy for senior leaders, building a content plan around a major campaign launch or uncovering insights from social listening that change the direction of a client's strategy.

You’ll have the freedom to bring ideas to the table, build client relationships and help shape the future of social within one of the UK's leading communications agencies.

As a Senior Social Manager at MHP Group, you will be:

Delivering Insight & Impact

• Conducting social audits, audience research and competitor analysis.
• Using data and social listening to uncover opportunities and shape recommendations.
• Monitoring performance and translating metrics into meaningful business insights.

Building Client Relationships

• Contributing to digital workstreams across multiple clients.
• Acting as a trusted social media advisor to client teams.
• Identifying opportunities to grow and evolve client programmes.
• Contributing to pitches and presenting ideas with confidence.

Shaping the Future of Social at MHP

• Championing best practice across the agency.
• Sharing platform updates, trends and innovations with colleagues and clients.
• Experimenting with AI and emerging technologies to improve how we work and the value we deliver.
• Helping evolve our social, influencer and digital offering.

You will:

• Have experience managing social channels, campaigns and content programmes across multiple brands or clients.
• Have a strong understanding of platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Meta.
