Job description

About Us

We’re Simmer Eats, Europe’s fastest-growing food brand. We’ve grown over 10x in the past year and we’re just getting started. Our mission is simple: make healthy eating effortless. We deliver high-protein, globally inspired meals straight to your door - bringing the comfort of home cooking into the rhythm of modern life.

We’ve built a brand that people love and a community that’s growing fast. Now we’re hiring our first Social Media Manager to take things up a level - from organic founder-led stories to a consistent, high-performing channel strategy that drives loyalty and growth.

About the Role

You’ll own the day-to-day output of Simmer’s social channels and turn them into a performance engine. From TikTok to Instagram, YouTube Shorts to LinkedIn, you’ll create, curate, and post content that builds buzz, starts conversation, and helps drive sales.

You’ll bring a strong creative POV, exceptional taste, and a pulse on what’s trending - plus a clear head for metrics. You’ll work hand-in-hand with the Founder, Head of Brand and Creative Lead to bring the content calendar to life in a way that feels unmistakably Simmer.

Key Responsibilities

Channel Ownership

• Own and execute Simmer’s organic social strategy across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and more.
• Schedule, post, and manage daily content - written, visual, and video.
• Maintain a consistent tone of voice that reflects the Simmer brand.

Content & Copy

• Write captions and scripts.
• Work with the creative team to brief, review, and deliver high-quality assets.
• Identify and repurpose top-performing influencer content and customer UGC.

Community Engagement

• Transform followers into Simmer superfans through authentic engagement.
• Respond to every comment, DM, and mention with personality and purpose.
• Collaborate with our Influencer Manager to spotlight creators and talent.
• Build genuine relationships with our most vocal advocates.

Reporting & Optimisation

• Track engagement, reach, saves, and shares across all platforms.
• Take full ownership of the performance data - using it to double down on what works and kill what doesn’t.
• Test new formats, trends, and platforms at the speed of culture.
• Deliver monthly social reports and insights for the team.

Culture & Trends

• Stay plugged into culture, creators, and platform updates.
• Spot opportunities for Simmer to join conversations in authentic ways.
• Pitch and test new formats fast - from memes to lo-fi TikToks to new channels.

About You

• 2+ years managing social media at a fast-growing brand or agency.
• Chronically online and dialled into social/culture.
• Experience building and executing a full content calendar.
• Deep platform knowledge - especially TikTok and Instagram.
• Exceptional copywriting skills to carve out a distinctive tone of voice.
• Strong aesthetic sense - you know good content when you see it.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth business - independent and reliable.
• Confident using analytics tools to report on performance and optimise.

️ Compensation, Perks & Benefits

The opportunity: We’re scaling fast, building a team that punches above its weight, and putting out work that stands out in a crowded market. You’ll have ownership, pace, autonomy, and the chance to do career-defining work.

• Flexibility. Hybrid approach with an office in central London.

• Big Trajectory. This is a high impact role in a rocketship brand.

• Delicious Perks. Discounts on Simmer meals.

• A No-Ego Culture. We move fast and are united in our hunger to win.
