Job description

Mint Velvet began when founders Liz Houghton and Lisa Agar-Rea set out to create an unfailingly chic collection of contemporary, great quality staples and elevated fits that they felt were missing from their wardrobes. Feeling frustrated that they couldn’t find anything they wanted to wear, or the great customer service they craved, they started fusing relaxed comfort with glamorous yet wearable fashion trends. Relaxed Glamour was born.

As collaborative creatives, we take untold pride in our work, designing with heart and soul. We want to be a force for good and are committed to becoming a more circular and responsible business, from the fabrics we choose to our considered processes. We are an agile and growing business, and we work hard to create an environment which allows for growth and progression, balanced with the support and flexibility needed to meet the challenge of a high-performance culture.

Our leadership teams and founders sit amongst the teams and encourage a culture of balance and passion. MV is a very special place, and our values are anchored by three main pillars: people, planet, and community.

• Oversee daily community management, ensuring timely and brand-appropriate responses to customer interactions, collaborating with the Customer Care team as needed
• Manage social listening efforts, identifying opportunities for engagement and flagging relevant customer feedback
• Collaborate with the paid social team to maximise the impact of top-performing organic content, ensuring it is leveraged effectively across paid campaigns
• Maintain and update an evergreen social content library, ensuring easy access to on-brand assets for reactive and planned content needs
