Job description

SF Partners are supporting a scaling city centre based business in recruiting a Social Media Manager to join their evolving team. This is a really exciting opportunity to join this organisation on their trajectory of growth, and to be the face of their marketing outreach.

Salary: £35,000-£40,000
Working pattern: full time Monday to Friday with regular travel to locations across the UK for content shoots

What you'll do

• - Own and evolve the social strategy. Take our existing playbook across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, stress-test what's working, and set the plan for the next phase of growth. Keep LinkedIn and emerging platforms in view where they fit the audience.
• - Lead the Founding Circle. Launch and grow our community across its four roles: Ambassadors, Influencers, Partner Voices and UGC Creators. Recruit and onboard members, brief them clearly, manage the relationships day to day, and make sure their content is on-brand and compliant.
• - Create content that performs. Plan, script, film and edit short-form video and social content end to end, from quick-turnaround trend content to planned series and campaigns. Make auctions simple to understand, in plain English with no jargon or hype.
• - Be a face of the brand. Appear on camera with confidence, alongside the creators and colleagues you bring in front of the lens.
• - Build an engaged community. Respond to comments and messages, spark conversation, and turn followers into buyers, sellers and advocates.
• - Listen and spot what's next. Track trends, platform changes, competitor activity and audience conversations, and turn them into ideas we can act on while they're still live.
• - Measure and optimise. Own social reporting each month. Go beyond reach and followers to show how social drives engagement, registrations and leads, and use the data to decide what to do more and less of.
• - Work across the business. Social is your corner to own, but you'll back everyone else's too. Work with colleagues in the Growth Marketing team, and the Auction Sales Team and Customer Success Team to deliver joined-up campaigns, especially around new stock, auction events and new product launches.

Where the role is heading

This role is designed to grow with the business. As social and the Founding Circle scale, we expect you to:

• - Build a social team. Help shape the structure, hire the right people and lead them day to day.
• - Lead the community. Grow the Founding Circle from a launch programme into a lasting community that members are proud to be part of.
• - Set the standard. Create the processes, briefs, guidelines and ways of working that let social scale without losing quality or brand consistency.

We're looking for someone who wants to be hands-on now and has the ambition and potential to lead later.
