Social Media Specialist (Maternity Cover)

Prominence was founded out of the desire to help those in the recruitment sector respond to changes in consumer behaviour, namely the shift towards digital and social media.

As a results-obsessed marketing agency, we focus on digital marketing strategy, content marketing, graphic design and brand identity, social media, SEO, PPC and email marketing. Through these, we have successfully helped numerous recruitment agencies throughout Australia, New Zealand and the UK in the last 10 years, to significantly grow their brand and expand their business, delivering a premier marketing solution that puts them ahead of their competition.

Collaborating closely with designers, account managers, and other specialist teams, you’ll be responsible for the development and implementation of multiple high-impact social media strategies. Reporting to the Head of Social Media, you will also contribute to the improvement of processes and driving the overall efficiency and success of the social media department.

• Significantly contribute to the development and execution of comprehensive social media strategies that align with client goals and drive engagement.

• Efficiently manage ad‑hoc projects, ensuring timely delivery while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

Who You Are:

• Experience: You have at least 1-2 years of experience in social media marketing, with a proven track record of developing and executing successful social media strategies. If you have agency experience, that is a bonus.
• Communication: Outstanding English language skills are a must, with the ability to communicate effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Attention to Detail: You have exceptional attention to detail and maintain high standards of work.
• Organisational Skills: You excel in managing multiple projects/clients simultaneously, with strong organisational and planning skills.
• Technological Proficiency: In-depth knowledge of various marketing channels and technologies, including but not limited to LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, is essential.
• Analytical Ability: You are adept at analysing data and metrics to inform strategic decisions and optimisations.
• Education: A Bachelor's Degree qualification is preferred, with additional certifications in social media marketing or related fields considered an advantage.

Working at Prominence:

• Salary range for this role is between RM4,300 - RM5,300
• Initial 6-month contract to provide maternity cover, with the strong potential to transition into a permanent role
• A flexible hybrid work structure – 3 Days in the office
• Modern, centrally located offices with all the equipment you need!
