About You

You live and breathe social — from reactive trends to structured campaigns, you know how to bring ideas to life with speed, flair, and impact. You’re execution-obsessed, highly organised, and love turning strategy into scroll‑stopping content that delivers for clients.

You’re a natural team leader, able to manage people and projects simultaneously while keeping creativity high and deadlines tight. Whether briefing creators, building content calendars, or jumping into a comment section, you’re the one holding it all together and pushing it forward.

You can confidently report on results, optimise performance, and spot what’s working (or not) in real-time — all while managing relationships with clients and internal stakeholders alike.

You have at least 4+ years’ experience working in social roles (agency or brand‑side), with hands‑on experience across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn. Experience working with influencers, community management, or leading cross‑channel campaigns is a strong plus.
