Job Description:

If you’re obsessed with social media and looking to join the UK’s fastest-growing home and garden media brand, we want to hear from you.

Ideal Home is the UK’s best known brand for helping homeowners design, decorate and shop for their homes and gardens, and you’d be part of a team responsible for transforming its presence on all social platforms. The content that you create and publish will be a critical string in the brand’s bow.

What you'll be doing…

As Social Media Assistant, you'll be a brilliant team player, master multitasker and an innovative thinker who continuously looks for ways to optimise growth and engagement. You'll be well-versed in social tactics and ready to translate your insights into activations that capture our audience and drive referrals.

You'll create social-first content across a variety of platforms and ensure that it meets brand guidelines and delivers commercial opportunities. You'll also work to maximise the potential of every single story we tell online using social media.

Experience that will put you ahead of the curve…

• Strong time management and organisational skills; an ability to prioritise effectively.
• Visual and photographic skills to create your own assets for social channels, such as low-lift video or self-shot content. Familiarity with basic video editing.
• Experience in publishing, scheduling and analytics tools, as well as confidence in interpreting and explaining data.
• An interest in the design and interiors sector, understanding what makes an on-brand image and knowing what makes a fantastic story for the audience.
• Solid understanding of the key different social media platforms and their nuances, best practices and latest developments.
• Ability to work calmly under pressure, meet tight deadlines, and provide self-guidance.

What's in it for you…

We have a number of awesome perks available to our staff. We offer huge opportunities to learn and develop, whether through professional qualifications, exposure to incredible business projects or informal lunch & learns, hosted by your colleagues. We have a fantastic culture where we really do care about our people and want everyone to succeed. Varied roles mean you’re not pigeonholed in to one finite area but get the opportunity to develop a wide range of skills and experience

And to top it all off, not only do we offer unlimited holiday because we trust you to manage your workload and time but we also offer a share in our success whereby every colleague is eligible to join our profit pool bonus scheme - if Future hits their performance targets all colleagues may receive a bonus.

* Internal job family level E7.

The expected range for this role is up to £26,000.

This is a Hybrid role from our London Office, working three days from the office, two from home.

Who are we…

We’re Future. We’re 3000+ colleagues over 250+ brands speaking to 400 million people every month across the globe through websites, events and magazines. We’ve got ambitious plans that build on our growth momentum and unlock new opportunities and we’re looking for talented people who want to be a part of it.
