Overview

Part-Time Social Media Manager - MTF (Martindales Trade Frames)

The Role

We\u2019re looking for a part-time Social Media Manager who can turn our know-how, products, and customer wins into scroll-stopping content. You\u2019ll own our social media presence, build our brand voice, and help us connect with both our loyal trade customers and the next generation of pros.

Think of it as building our online community brick by brick, only with posts, stories, and videos instead of mortar and nails.

This role is perfect if you\u2019re looking for flexible hours and the freedom to plan your week while still making a big impact.

What You\u2019ll Be Doing (2-3 days a week)

• Creating engaging content for LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
• Showcasing our products, behind-the-scenes action, and real-life customer projects.
• Planning and maintaining a content calendar so we\u2019re always ahead of the game.
• Running paid ads that actually convert (not just \u201cget likes\u201d).
• Jumping on social trends and industry news - always with a trade twist.
• Engaging with our followers - answering questions, starting conversations, and celebrating their wins.
• Tracking results and tweaking strategy so we keep improving.

You\u2019ll Fit Right In If You\u2026

• Have managed social accounts for a brand before (bonus points if it\u2019s B2B or trade-related).
• Can write copy that\u2019s short, sharp, and worth reading.
• Know your way around a smartphone camera and editing tools (Canva, Adobe, CapCut).
• Understand analytics and how to turn numbers into action.
• Are creative, curious, and full of ideas - but also know how to deliver on time.

Extra Bonus Skills

• Experience in the building products, construction, or home improvement world.
• SEO know-how to give posts extra reach.
• A knack for turning technical info into plain English without losing the detail.

What\u2019s In It for You

• Flexible working - 2-3 days a week to fit around your life.
• A chance to build and own MTF\u2019s social presence from the ground up.
• A supportive team that knows its stuff and has your back.
• Space to get creative and try new ideas.
• Basic salary of \u00a330,000 to \u00a335,000 pro-rata DOE + benefits
