About us

Seen Connects is a leading influencer marketing agency established in 2016 and driven by a purpose to create cultural relevance and meaningful impact for our clients, through the power of human connection. The primary services we offer are brand and social strategy, organic influencer campaigns, influencer‑led paid social and social media management.

We are part of Captivate Group and within this we have three sister agencies; Seen Presents, Seen Studios and Stir.

About the role

We’re looking for a proactive, culturally connected Social Account Executive to support the day‑to‑day running of our clients’ social channels, with a particular focus on an exciting FMCG client. You’ll help manage everything from editorial planning and content creation to community management and performance reporting, working closely with social managers, creatives and strategists to bring smart, culturally relevant ideas to life.

You’ll be joining a team that lives and breathes culture, helping our FMCG client’s social presence feel embedded within its communities and genuinely part of the conversation. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves social, is energised by fast‑moving trends, and wants to help deliver standout work that builds real brand connection at scale.

Key Responsibilities

Supporting the full content creation process, from shaping editorial calendars and contributing ideas to helping take content live across multiple social platforms.

Crafting engaging, on‑brand copy and assisting with content development, working directly with our creative studio to brief and shape ideas that flex across formats and platforms.

• Stimulating and sustaining conversations with our audience through culturally aware, on‑the‑pulse community management.
• Building strong relationships with clients, supporting day‑to‑day account management and helping identify new opportunities to add value.
• Researching emerging social tools, platform updates and cultural trends, ensuring our FMCG client stays ahead of what’s next and is first to innovate.
• Supporting our insights team by helping to deliver reports, track performance, and analyse trends that shape our ongoing strategy.
• Staying culturally attuned and constantly challenging ourselves and our clients with fresh thinking and opportunities to evolve.

What We’re Looking For

• A strategic mindset with a creative spark, someone who understands how to elevate social work through smart thinking and cultural awareness.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail.
• Highly organised, collaborative, and able to manage your time across multiple projects.
• Passionate about social media, with a natural feel for the formats, trends, memes and behaviours that make people stop scrolling.
• An understanding of how social platforms can drive value for brands, especially within fast‑moving categories like FMCG.
• A good eye for creative content, with awareness of how different formats and platforms require ideas to adapt.
• Calm under pressure and able to juggle competing priorities when needed.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) or similar tools.
• Previous experience in social media management is a bonus, but not essential; curiosity, passion and a willingness to learn go a long way.
