Job Description:

Social Media Content Specialist – 12 month FTC

Wythall – 3 days office/2 days home

We’re excited to be working with this great retail- based client with multiple branches across the UK. They’re looking to add a Social Media Content Specialist into their digital team on a fixed term contract for 12 months.

Due to the location of the office, you’ll need to have your own transport and be happy to travel out to branches occasionally.

They’re looking to develop their social media presence across Meta, You Tube and TikTok to engage with new customers and bring the brand to life through engaging and authentic content.

Responsibilities in the role:

• Take ownership of the social media content plan, creating a more structured and pro-active strategy for the year.
• Work closely with the social media agency to brief in new content requirements across organic and paid.
• Develop engaging and authentic social media content that brings the brand and the people to life, whilst also maintaining some product and promotional led content.
• Develop the plan to utilise more video content, particularly for You Tube – “how to” and “a day in the life” etc.

Experience needed:

• Previous experience in a social media content role.
• An understanding of both organic and paid social media content.
• Experience of developing You Tube as a social channel would be advantageous.
• Experience of using Canva and Adobe Photoshop would be beneficial. Videography experience isn’t required as you will work with an inhouse videographer and the agency when necessary.
• Strong communication, both written and verbal.
• High attention to detail.
• Ideally some experience within an eCommerce or bricks and mortar retailer is preferred.
• Previous experience or an interest in construction, interiors, trade retail etc. would be highly beneficial.

In return, you’ll see investment in your personal and professional development, free health cash plan, life assurance, company pension scheme, profit-related bonus and product and retail discounts.
