About the Role

PurpleGlobe is looking for a bold, creative professional who thrives at the intersection of design and community. Our customers include top players in ICT, but we’re not about cookie-cutter corporate campaigns. We create content that excites, builds real connections, and helps our clients stand out where it matters most—on social media. This is a hybrid role that combines graphic design expertise with social community management. You’ll be crafting scroll-stopping visuals while also cultivating engaged online communities. The role requires equal parts creative flair, social savviness, and strategic thinking—balancing day‑to‑day design execution with long‑term community growth goals.

Community Building & Engagement

• Manage, grow, and engage client social communities across multiple platforms.
• Create content calendars blending design, storytelling, and interactivity.
• Monitor conversations, respond to comments, and nurture online relationships.
• Spark discussions, highlight customer voices, and showcase client impact stories.

Analytics & Strategy

• Track engagement metrics, community sentiment, and follower growth.
• Report insights and recommend strategy improvements.
• Use social listening tools to anticipate trends and guide timely responses.

Collaboration

• Support live coverage during events, product launches, or campaigns.
• Share best practices with clients to showcase the value of integrated design + community.

Who You Are

• A designer with a strong portfolio and 3–5 years of combined design + social media/community management experience (agency or in‑house).
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite & Canva, and familiar with tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, or Sprout.
• Experienced in moderating communities on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and X.
• Skilled at managing content calendars, reporting on engagement, and optimising campaigns.
• Passionate about blending creativity with community building.
• Bonus: Experience covering live events, real‑time engagement, or influencer/advocate campaigns.
• Organised, deadline‑driven, adaptable, and able to juggle multiple projects.

Why PurpleGlobe?

• Work on bold, original design projects for serious ICT brands.
• Join a culture that values creativity, experimentation, and human connection.
