Why you might not be excited by us (or, be here for the challenge):

It’s a small, fast-moving agency where every person pulls weight and pushes standards.

Here’s the truth:

• We're still building, and we move fast and expect ownership. If you need constant direction, predictability, or want to coast, it's not the role for you.
• There’s no safety net of a big team — you’ll be trusted to lead your own work and outcomes
• You’ll be challenged. Constantly. By platforms evolving weekly, trends coming out daily, fast turnarounds, and picky clients who expect our high quality of content upheld.
• We’re obsessed with making better content — not just delivering “what the client asked for”. That means pitching new ideas, challenging lazy briefs, and going way beyond Canva templates and recycled trends.
• You’ll need to be a proactive learner. We offer support, resources, budget and time — but we don’t spoon-feed.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

• 3+ years’ hands-on agency experience managing social media campaigns and clients.
• Excellent knowledge of social platforms, especially TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and Pinterest.
• Strong copywriting ability — not just grammatically correct, but compelling and conversion-focused.
• A solid track record of growing social accounts and communities for brands and creators.
• Confidence in multi-channel strategy, reporting, briefing creators, and speaking directly with clients.
• Understanding of UGC and short-form video best practice — both briefing and editing.
• Experience using tools like Meta Business Suite, TikTok studio and creative centre, Google Analytics, Google Trends, Facebook Ads Library, CapCut, Canva, Figma, reporting tools etc.
• A proven ability to stay calm, organised and creative in a fast-paced environment.

What You’ll Be Doing (in real life, not just on a job spec):

• Lead on strategic development and execution across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Pinterest for B2B and B2C clients.
• Plan monthly campaigns and weekly social content with clear objectives and creative angles.
• Collaborate closely with our founder and creative team to build brands, not just grow followers.
• Confidently brief creators, videographers and designers to bring your strategy to life.

Content Creation & Execution

• Write social-first copy in multiple brand voices — engaging, concise, killer hooks, witty when needed, clear CTAs, always.
• Work across video, graphics and UGC — with the know-how to brief, script, and edit content effectively using in-house templates and support from our Creative Lead to execute content shoots.
• Spot and act on trends with speed, without relying on “can we jump on this?” chat. You're plugged in.

Community & Channel Management

• Own the day-to-day of multiple brand channels: scheduling, posting, responding, and reporting with intention.
• Build loyal, engaged communities and followings — not just ghost post and hope for likes.
• Handle escalations and community issues professionally and quickly.

Client Management

• Run weekly or monthly check-ins, respond to feedback, and be proactive in showing what’s working (and what’s not).
• Present reports and recommendations backed by performance data, not just vibes.

Reporting & Analytics

• Track what matters: conversions, engagement, saves, shares, watch time.
• Pull reports, analyse content performance and drive month-on-month improvements.
• Confident in using Meta tools, Google Analytics, and basic paid reporting to inform organic strategy.
• Owning your work and your outcomes. If something underperforms, we askwhy, notwho’s fault it is— but you’ll need to take accountability and bring solutions. If it pops off? We celebrate the wins, together!
