You’ll work alongside creative specialists across content, design and video, with senior visibility and the opportunity to influence how the brand is perceived across key social channels.

The Social Media Manager will own the organic social strategy and content calendar, turning audience insight into relevant, platform‑specific storytelling across LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.

You Will Need

• Hands‑on experience managing organic and paid social within an agency, studio or high‑performing in‑house environment.
