Ready to be a Social Media Rebel with a cause and lead digital storytelling for a mission-led education brand?

Culture Guru is proud to be hiring for a fast-growing, creative learning company that’s redefining how children engage with words through games, humour, and wildly original storytelling.

They're looking for a hands-on, data-savvy Social Media Manager who knows how to make content move - literally. You’ll be the bridge between playful creativity and sharp strategy, building communities, growing reach, and sparking engagement that actually converts.

This role is for someone who lives and breathes content — especially video — and thrives in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment where bold ideas are celebrated and backed with insights.

Responsibilities of the role, but not limited to;

• Creating scroll-stopping, video-led content using tools like Canva, CapCut, Opus, and AI
• Owning the brand’s presence across Meta, X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and (eventually) Pinterest
• Using Hootsuite not just for scheduling, but for deep analytics and social listening
• Building and managing community conversations with parents, educators, and creators
• Collaborating with TikTok & Paid Media Managers for aligned growth strategies
• Managing and scaling influencer/affiliate partnerships (Reddit experience = bonus!)
• Proactively pitching ideas and campaigns that challenge the norm and drive results
• Reporting on metrics weekly – connecting the dots between creativity and performance

Desirable attributes of the successful candidate

• 4+ years in social media with proven results in scaling brand awareness and engagement
• Strong video instincts – you know what makes content go viral and how to edit it fast
• Confident using AI tools to generate creative assets and speed up production
• Understands the power of friction – you don’t fear pushback if your ideas are rooted in strategy
• Curious, trend-obsessed, and always ready to test something new
• Clear communicator with the ability to explain why content works – or why it didn’t
• A “build it, try it, learn from it” mindset – you move with energy and purpose

Why you’ll love it here:

• Join a high-growth, purpose-led brand making literacy fun for kids globally
• 25 days holiday + your birthday off
• Private healthcare
• Summer hours (early finishes every Friday from June to September)
• Opportunity to shape the digital future of one of the UK’s most playful learning brands
• Creative autonomy, a curious team, and leadership that truly backs your ideas

Apply now via Culture Guru to bring your creative energy, strategy, and storytelling skills to a brand that believes in learning through laughter.
