Job description

Social Media Manager | Up to £40k | Blackburn | D2C / eCommerce | Hybrid Working

Are you an experienced Social Media Manager looking for an opportunity to take ownership of a growing consumer brand's social media presence?

Do you enjoy developing creative social strategies, producing engaging content and building communities that genuinely connect with customers?

If so, this could be worth a look.

We're working with a growing, design-led D2C business in Blackburn looking for a Social Media Manager to lead their organic social media activity.

You'll be joining an ambitious business of around 40 people operating within the home and interiors sector, with the opportunity to shape how the brand engages with its audience across social platforms.

This is a hands-on, creative and strategic position, working closely with the wider marketing team to develop compelling content, grow brand awareness and turn social engagement into meaningful commercial results.

It's an entrepreneurial environment where ideas move quickly, creativity is encouraged and you'll have genuine ownership over the direction of social media.

The Role:

• Develop and deliver the organic social media strategy across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Pinterest
• Take ownership of the social media content calendar, planning campaigns and creating engaging content that reflects the brand's identity
• Produce and coordinate creative content, including short-form video, Reels, photography, graphics and engaging written copy
• Identify emerging social media trends, content opportunities and creative ideas to increase reach, engagement and brand awareness
• Build and engage online communities, encouraging meaningful interactions and strengthening relationships with customers
• Develop influencer, creator and brand collaboration opportunities to expand reach and generate engaging content
• Monitor social media performance, analysing engagement, audience growth, traffic and conversions to continually improve strategy
• Work closely with the wider marketing team to align social media activity with product launches, seasonal campaigns and wider business objectives

Your Profile:

You'll ideally have 3-5+ years of experience in social media marketing, with a strong track record of developing and delivering successful organic social media strategies.

You'll be confident taking ownership of social media channels, combining strategic thinking with the ability to produce engaging content yourself.

Strong experience across Instagram and TikTok will be particularly important, alongside an understanding of how different platforms can support brand awareness, customer engagement and commercial growth.

You'll have a creative eye, excellent copywriting skills and experience producing or coordinating high-quality visual content, particularly short-form video.

Experience working within a D2C, eCommerce, retail, lifestyle or home and interiors business would be particularly beneficial.

You'll also be commercially minded, comfortable analysing social media performance and using insights to develop content that delivers measurable results.

Above all, you'll be proactive, creative and confident bringing fresh ideas to the table, with the ambition to make a genuine impact within a growing consumer brand.

What's On Offer?

• Salary up to £40,000
• Hybrid working - only 1-2 days a week in the office
• Quarterly bonus opportunities
• 24 days holiday + bank holidays
• Genuine ownership over the brand's social media strategy
• Opportunity to shape the social presence of a growing D2C business
• Creative freedom and the opportunity to bring your own ideas to life
• Career development and progression opportunities
• Supportive, collaborative and entrepreneurial working environment

If you're a Social Media Manager looking for a creative, hands-on role where you can take ownership of social strategy and help grow an ambitious consumer brand, this could be a great next step.
