• Engaging with followers by replying to comments, messages, and mentions
• Collaborating with influencers, ambassadors, and external partners to boost reach
• Using analytics and insights to optimise performance and inform future planning
• Supporting SEO activity through keyword-optimised content for web and social
• Assisting with paid campaigns to drive engagement and conversions
• Working with the wider marketing, sales, and product teams to align on campaigns
• Keeping on top of social trends and competitor activity to keep content fresh

What we\'re looking for...

• Experience in social media management (in-house or agency)
• Solid understanding of social platforms and what works on each
