Yard Sale Pizza are on the search for an ambitious, creative and pizza-loving social media superstar to join our marketing team for a 12-month maternity cover!

You’ll work closely with our Marketing Director and senior management team to bring the Yard Sale buzz to life across all our social platforms, from strategy and content creation to influencer partnerships, photoshoots, events and community engagement.

This is a super exciting time to join YSP, we’re growing fast, our community is stronger than ever and we’re looking for someone who truly cares, brings great energy and wants to grow with us!

What you’ll be doing

• Lead and deliver our social media strategy in line with Yard Sale’s growth goals.
• Manage our day‑to‑day social media presence, capturing content, writing copy, scheduling posts and engaging with our amazing community.
• Explore and develop our presence on emerging platforms (we love trying new things!)
• Build and nurture relationships with collaborators, paid partners and influencers.
• Organise and manage photoshoots to keep our content fresh and on‑brand.
• Work with external agencies to deliver smart, creative paid social campaigns.

What we’re looking for

We’re after someone who’s not just great at social media but who genuinely loves what they do.

You care about your work, your team and the community around you.

You bring enthusiasm and great energy to every single project and you’re the kind of person who’s always up for jumping in to help out wherever needed!

You take pride in doing things properly, whether it’s getting the perfect shot of a pizza, writing a caption that makes people smile or making sure our tone of voice feels consistent and true to who we are.

You’re passionate about food and hospitality, you’re curious and you’re full of ideas that help keep Yard Sale’s online presence as fresh as our dough.

You’ll also need

• Experience managing social media for a brand (ideally in food, drink or hospitality.)
• Strong understanding of how to create content, copy and community engagement.
• A creative eye, bonus points if you’ve got some design or editing skills (Photoshop / InDesign is a massive plus!)
• A positive, proactive attitude and amazing communication skills.
• Great organisation and attention to detail, you know how to juggle multiple projects and keep things running smoothly!

What’s on offer

• 28 days annual leave + Christmas hols.
• Cycle to work & tech schemes.
• Working from home allowance.
• YSP merch and generous discounts for you, your family & friends.
• Epic staff parties and of course…
• pizza for days!
