You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Have 2+ years managing brand social media, ideally in luxury, lifestyle or travel.
• Understand luxury tone and aesthetic, and know how to make a feed look and feel high-end.
• Are a confident writer, able to craft copy that informs, entertains and sells.
• Have a good understanding of video-first content and can produce for both Reels and Stories.
• Are a proactive collaborator and self-starter – confident managing your own content plan but also working in sync with a wider team.
• Understand how to use social for storytelling, not just selling.
• A pro at using AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Descript, Canva Magic etc) to scale content output.
• Someone who continuously explores and recommends emerging tech that supports smarter social delivery and campaign measurement.
• A social media trend spotter with the ability to translate that in to the brand tone of voice.

• Familiarity with LinkedIn strategy and/or personal branding.

Customer experience is at the forefront of everything we do, and we pride ourselves in being able to consistently deliver some of the best service in the UK.

Our commitment to equal opportunities

For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.

We are a customer experience-driven business, and a diverse workplace means that we not only build a healthy culture of diversity and tolerance but can also serve our clients with empathy and understanding.

Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.
