Job description

The Position

We’re looking for an enthusiastic social media assistant to support our content publishing activity, bringing a zeal for detail and organization to this growing area of the business.

The Role

Responsibilities will include:

• Shaping and delivering social media content strategies across clients’ Facebook, X, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and Patreon accounts.
• Collaborating with your team, and freelance creatives including video editors, graphic designers, illustrators, and copywriters to bring video, static images, carousels, and other multimedia assets to life.
• Liaising with the wider internal team to brief, prioritise, and balance workload across our freelancers.
• Keeping our content engine running smoothly by maintaining schedules, databases, and reference materials.
• Ensuring quality and consistency across video, captions, and editorial elements of all content.
• Using performance insights to fuel creativity, translating data into ideas, recommendations, and forward-thinking content plans.

You may have no experience of editing software, but will be familiar with the process.

The role will not involve any camera work or editing, but will provide an insight into the role of producers and post-production.

You will have the option to work fully remotely within the UK, be based at our office in Northampton, or a hybrid version of the two.

We offer all staff 25 days annual leave excluding bank holidays, as well as inclusion in the company’s profit share scheme, and mental health insurance policy.

The Candidate

You will pride yourself on being forward-thinking and on the thoroughness of your work. You may be a media production, marketing, or advertising graduate. Your field of study might not be directly related to digital media, but at the very least, you will have a demonstrable passion for working behind the scenes in a creative endeavour, and an informed grasp of popular social media platforms.

You will be excited by the prospect of a role that demands you to be continually flexible as to priorities and approaches. Digital platforms change frequently, as do trends, and our clients' goals. Strong organisational skills are a must as they enable you to respond to these changes quickly and successfully.

The Company

Ziggurat XYZ represents emerging and established names in digital media, providing a bespoke management service to YouTube creators as they grow and develop their audience, content, and businesses. We are the first agency in our industry to be recognised by the King's Awards for Enterprise. This year, we earned the International Trade award for outstanding growth in overseas income thanks to our diverse and global roster.

Our clients all produce content broadly under the umbrella of factual entertainment. We challenge ourselves (and our kitchen equipment at home) with Chris Young and ChefSteps, drink coffee with James Hoffmann (and question everything we think we know about our daily cup); generate ideas with scientists and engineers like Xyla Foxlin, and Steve Mould, and live vicariously through Ninjon, whose hobbying dedication outshines us all. Together, our roster reaches an audience of hundreds of millions with an eclectic mix of interests and hobbies.

Our team are a burgeoning gang of specialists. They are trusted advisors and industry experts to our clients and our office in Northampton acts as a vibrant hub of global activity. The building is a renovated Victorian brewery off of Northampton’s Creative Quarter.

The location is 10 minutes’ walk from Northampton Rail Station, with connections up and down the Midland Mainline – 56 minutes from London Euston, 59 minutes from Birmingham New Street, and 15 minutes from Milton Keynes. It is also only 10 minutes from Junction 15 of the M1.

Applications for this vacancy will be considered on an ongoing basis and we aim to provide you with feedback within 10 working days. The closing date for this position is Friday 28th November 2025.
