Experience required:

1. Previous experience in a social media content role.
2. Understanding of both organic and paid social media strategies.
3. Experience in developing YouTube as a social channel is advantageous.

6. High attention to detail.
7. Experience within eCommerce or brick-and-mortar retail is preferred.
8. Interest or experience in construction, interiors, or trade retail is highly beneficial.
