Job description

IMA is a creative agency that builds brands people want to be part of. We’re looking for an experienced Social Media Manager to shape and deliver social strategies across some of the world’s biggest retail and consumer brands.

If you’re passionate about social, fluent in platform trends, and confident managing end-to-end campaigns across Paid, Owned and Earned Media, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Get From Us

• A chance to develop your career within an award-winning creative agency.
• A values-led culture where your contribution is recognised and supported.
• Ownership and variety from day one, with support from a collaborative, expert team.
• The opportunity to work on integrated campaigns across social, influencer, PR and paid media.
• A people-first environment where we challenge, grow, and deliver together.
  
  

The role

As a Social Media Manager, you’ll lead the strategy and delivery of standout campaigns across social platforms — from TikTok and Instagram to YouTube, X and beyond. You’ll work closely with content, creative and influencer teams to develop performance-led ideas, manage always-on retainers and activations, and keep clients engaged with clear, insightful reporting. You’ll also be proactive in spotting trends, shaping best practices, and mentoring junior team members.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Creating social strategies, including KPIs, content pillars, and forecasting.
• Managing campaigns from planning through to content capture, scheduling and reporting.
• Briefing creative teams and supporting idea generation.
• Boosting content across Meta, TikTok and other platforms.
• Overseeing community management and platform engagement.
• Capturing and editing basic content, and supporting wider content marketing and influencer campaigns.
• Presenting confidently to clients and supporting on proposals and costings.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Experience developing and activating social media campaigns across multiple platforms.
• Confidence using scheduling tools, reporting platforms and content creation apps like CapCut.
• Strong understanding of how social integrates with influencer, PR, SEO and paid media.
• Creative thinking with a sharp eye for content, trends and audience engagement.
• A proactive, collaborative mindset with a commitment to delivering high-quality work.
