Job description

We’re working with a growing fashion retailer looking for a Social Media Manager who loves creating content, from coming up with the initial idea through to filming, editing and getting it live.

With TikTok becoming an increasingly important part of the business, this is a great opportunity to join at an exciting stage and have a real influence over how its brands show up online.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of day-to-day social media content across several fashion accounts, including:

• Planning and creating content for TikTok, Instagram and Facebook
• Filming and editing short-form video content
• Appearing confidently in content when needed
• Organising and running regular product shoots
• Creating content in the office, at retail locations and on location
• Writing and sending customer email newsletters
• Tracking performance and using it to shape future content
• Keeping content moving without needing a daily brief

This is a busy content role, so you’ll need to enjoy creating at pace rather than spending a week perfecting one video.

About You

The client is open-minded about where you have gained your experience. You might currently work for a consumer brand, be an independent content creator or have successfully grown your own social channels.

What matters most is that you:

• Can show engaging content you have filmed and edited yourself
• Feel confident and natural in front of the camera
• Understand TikTok and Instagram
• Can plan and manage shoots independently
• Are organised, self-sufficient and happy taking ownership
• Enjoy working in a fast-moving, informal environment
• Use social analytics to understand what is working

Fashion experience would be helpful, but it isn’t essential. Experience within lifestyle, beauty, food, hospitality or another consumer-led sector could work just as well.

Recruiter’s Thoughts

Harley, who is managing this role, says: “What stood out from our conversation with the client is that they are looking for someone creative, confident and happy to get stuck in. It’s a lively, informal environment where things move quickly, so it will suit someone who enjoys having freedom and taking ownership. For the right person, there is a real opportunity to make the role their own and have a visible impact on the growth of the brands.”

Location

During probation, this role will be based full-time at the company’s Brentwood office, with some time spent on location for content shoots. After probation, the client is open to considering a hybrid working pattern. Candidates must therefore be able to commute to the Brentwood office five days a week. The office is commutable from areas including Brentwood, Basildon, Billericay, Chelmsford, Wickford, Rayleigh, Grays, Loughton, Epping, Chigwell, Hornchurch, Upminster, Dagenham, Ilford and wider East London.
