About the role

Day in, day out, you'll bring the social presence of a major FMCG beauty & wellness brand to life. From content ideation, trend tracking and scheduling to community engagement, copy writing, and performance tracking, you'll manage the daily rhythm of social channels and ensure the brand shows up consistently and compellingly across platforms. This is a role for someone who is organised, culturally-fluent, and genuinely enthusiastic about social media as a discipline. You understand what makes content work on TikTok versus Instagram versus YouTube, you can write copy that fits the tone of each platform, and you notice when something is trending before it peaks.
