Job description

Job Title : Media Director

Hours : Full Time

You're reading this ad, so you're ready to outthink. To take your skills, knowledge and experience beyond what you thought possible. And TMP268 is the place to do it.

TMP268 is a creatively strategic marketing agency, home to the Armed Forces Recruitment Service. Protecting the nation begins here.

And what does that mean for you? It means new challenges to rise to. Being encouraged and empowered to outthink at every opportunity. It means creating industry-first solutions, harnessing emerging tech, and realising AI's potential to create human connection. It means feeling valued for everything you bring. And work you can be proud to call your own, whatever your role.

The role

As Social Strategist, you'll define and deliver the social strategies for the Armed Forces – whether in combination, or separately for the Royal Navy, British Army or Royal Air Force. You'll immerse yourself in the world of the Armed Forces and the target audience, so that we can deliver on effective, innovative, award-winning work. Across organic and paid social activity, you'll bring to life the AFRS brand story to drive its prominence as a career option. Your decision making will be backed up by data, research and performance monitoring.

Alongside the Head of Strategy and the Strategy Director, you'll build strong relationships with all consortium partner agencies. You'll inspire confidence and reassurance over our chosen strategic approach. Within TMP 268, you'll work closely with account and creative teams.

Who we're looking for

You have a strong understanding of social strategy, media and the role of channel, as well as the consumption habits of 16–24-year-olds. This has been built through creating social strategies with demonstratable success against clear objectives and KPIs. You've managed social accounts that have created impactful, effective work. A creative and data‑led thinker, you are comfortable working across a plethora of social channels to deliver successful results. When called for, you've created tactical plans to focus on an area of underperformance.

An experienced networker, you know how to build trust within teams and sell multi‑channel marketing solutions. This is coupled with excellent communication, organisation and planning skills.

This is an entrepreneurial environment where we're all pulling together to secure a shared goal, so we'd like someone excited by that prospect. A wider understanding of recruitment and employer brand solutions would be great to see. As would a degree or equivalent qualification.

What's in it for me?

You're set to gain so much from being part of our team, including :

• Time off to rest or conquer items on the bucket list with 27 days' holiday (+ 8 bank holidays) and a holiday purchase benefit where you can buy up to an additional 5 days.
• Great company paid benefits including our health cash plan, life assurance, company pension and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.
• A hybrid working pattern plus other great flexible benefits such as a TechScheme, free mortgage advice and more.
• Individual development plans with customised learning solutions, including clear career pathways designed to support individual growth and career advancement.
• Excellent health benefits – get cash back on your everyday healthcare costs with our flexible dental and cash plan benefits or grab some great discounts at your local gym.
• Opportunities to give back and care for our environment with eco‑friendly benefits like our cycle to work scheme.
