You'll move confidently between developing a TikTok concept, briefing a creator, writing a caption, jumping into comments sections and digging into performance data to work out what we should do next.

You'll understand that great social isn't just about what we post, but how we show up and engage with the community around it. You'll work closely with creative, production, influencer and client teams to make sure we're not just showing up on social, we're creating content people actually want to watch, engage with, save and share ,

Benefits

• Work your way — Flexible schedule, hybrid work, and the opportunity to work up to 3 weeks a year from any SAMY office around the world.
• Time that matters — Celebrate your birthday with a day off, plus company holidays on December 24th and 31st to recharge.

The SAMY Mindset

Forget the job description for a second. The real question is: are you a Path Finder? Bold enough to challenge what's possible. Collaborative enough to build it together. Driven enough to make it happen.

We don't just hire for roles, we hire for mindset. We look for people who communicate with honesty, collaborate without ego, embrace change with energy, and take real ownership of what they build.

We're not looking for people who think the same, we're looking for people who want to grow with us.

Here's What It Actually Looks Like To Belong Here

Be Kind

— because respect, trust, and honest feedback make great teams stronger.

Go Beyond

— because good is never enough when excellence is the standard.

Craft Together

— because the best ideas don't happen in silos.

Enjoy the Journey

— because growth lives outside the comfort zone.

Own It

— because real impact starts with accountability.

If this feels like your kind of adventure, let's build something together.

Diversity & Inclusion

At SAMY, difference is not something we accommodate, it's what makes us stronger.

With a team made up of 70% women and more than 35 different nationalities, our different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences challenge our thinking, sharpen our creativity, and push us to build better work, and a better company.

We are committed to creating an inclusive, accessible, and barrier‑free environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to thrive. And if you need support or adjustments along the way, we'll make sure you have what you need to do your best work.
