Full-Time IN OFFICE

The Creative Agency is hiring a Junior Social Media Manager who genuinely loves social media, understands what makes content engaging and is ready to take ownership of real client accounts.

We're looking for an emerging marketing professional with strong writing skills, excellent attention to detail and an eye for compelling branded content. Someone who follows trends, understands the differences between social platforms and enjoys turning creative ideas into content that drives meaningful engagement.

You'll work across multiple client brands, developing content calendars, writing engaging copy, coordinating with our in-house design and production teams, managing publishing schedules and helping improve performance through analytics and fresh ideas.

This is a hands-on position with real account ownership, creative collaboration and opportunities for professional growth. You'll have the support of an experienced creative team and established client strategies, but we expect you to take initiative, manage your responsibilities and bring ideas to the table.

Responsibilities and skills needed;

• Develop and manage monthly social media calendars for multiple client accounts.
• Write original, engaging captions tailored to each brand's voice, audience and marketing objectives.
• Schedule, publish and verify content across Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
• Collaborate with our designers and commercial production team to develop graphics, Reels, photography and video content.
• Support email marketing campaigns, including copywriting, campaign setup, testing and scheduling.
• Manage community engagement, including comments, messages and audience interactions.
• Monitor analytics, identify trends and bring forward recommendations to improve engagement, reach and overall performance.
• Maintain accurate publishing schedules, meet internal deadlines and ensure every deliverable is completed.

Experience needed;

• Approximately 1-2 years of hands-on social media experience. Meaningful internships, freelance work and experience managing business accounts count.
• Excellent writing, grammar and proofreading skills.
• Demonstrated experience creating and publishing content for business or brand accounts.
• Familiarity with Meta Business Suite, Buffer or comparable scheduling platforms.
• Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail.
• An understanding of what makes content successful across different social media platforms.
• The ability to manage multiple brands, balance competing deadlines and work independently.

Experience with email marketing, Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud, analytics and short-form video is a plus. We're particularly interested in applicants who follow social media trends, pay attention to successful brand campaigns and can demonstrate original work they're proud of.

What success looks like;

You'll receive established client strategies, brand guidelines and creative support, but you'll be responsible for ensuring your assigned work moves from planning to publication accurately and on time.

We value initiative, excellent communication, accountability and a willingness to learn. You'll be expected to contribute ideas, pay attention to performance and take ownership of your responsibilities.

All client work must comply with The Creative Agency's AI policy. Prior authorization is required for generative AI use in all deliverables.

We offer opportunities for professional development, increased account ownership and advancement within our growing agency.
