This independent creative agency brings together strategy, storytelling, and culture to create work that people notice, share, and remember.

With an award-winning leadership team and an impressive client list, the agency creates ideas that spark conversation, capture attention, and make a lasting impact across every channel.

Now, they’re looking for a Social Media Executive who lives and breathes social — someone who’s equal parts thinker, planner, maker and doer.

You’ll join a talented social team working with one of the world’s most recognisable global brands — a household name with over 50 million customers. Reporting to the Social Creative Lead, you’ll play a hands‑on role in creating, posting and analysing content that inspires audiences and fuels cultural relevance.

This is a varied, hybrid role that blends content creation, community management and social insight. One day you’ll be out shooting short‑form video, the next you’ll be editing, scheduling and analysing what worked — and why. You’ll be encouraged to bring ideas to the table, spot trends before they peak, and make content that’s timely, human, and beautifully crafted.

It’s a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants to grow quickly within a collaborative, ambitious environment — where great ideas are made together and curiosity is part of the job description.

Key Responsibilities:

• Plan, write, and schedule organic social content across multiple platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and emerging channels.
• Capture social‑first content — from video to behind‑the‑scenes moments, interviews or product features — largely using in‑house equipment.
• Edit and produce short‑form video content, from subtitling to final output for multiple platforms.
• Support the Social Creative Lead in developing ideas from concept to execution.
• Collaborate with design teams to produce on‑brand creative assets.
• Manage community interactions: moderation, replies, and engagement opportunities.
• Track and analyse performance data, surfacing insights that inform creative strategy.
• Stay informed about cultural trends, memes, and platform updates, and share inspiration with the broader team.
• Support live event coverage (with occasional flexibility around hours).
• Contribute to integrated campaigns across the wider agency.

About You:

• 2–4+ years’ experience managing or creating content for brand social channels.
• Proven ability to create social‑first video content — from shooting to editing.
• Strong understanding of social trends, platform culture, and emerging formats.
• Skilled at writing short, engaging copy tailored to each channel and audience.
• Confident using social management tools (Sprout, Hootsuite, native analytics) and G‑Suite.
• Comfortable interpreting analytics and turning data into actionable insights.
• Organised, proactive, collaborative, and calm under pressure.
• A self‑starter with ideas, initiative, and a genuine passion for social media, creativity, and culture.

This agency believes creativity thrives on diversity — of people, perspectives and backgrounds — and welcomes applicants from all walks of life.

Join a team where your ideas matter, your curiosity is valued, and your work helps shape the cultural conversation.
