Job description

Join Our Growing Team: Community & Social Media Manager (Part-Time/Freelance)

Are you passionate about building vibrant, engaged communities and driving conversations that matter? Do you thrive on social media, creating buzz and keeping people excited about the things they love? If so, we want YOU to join our dynamic, fast-paced team in a role that will put you right at the pulse of a growing business in the world of competitions!

About Us:

We are a competitions-based business operating in some of the coolest niches out there – from Pokémon and Warhammer to LEGO and tech. Our mission is simple: we bring joy to people by providing a platform where they can win the things they've always dreamed of. Whether it's epic collectibles, cutting-edge tech, or something else entirely, we’re all about creating excitement and bringing happiness to our passionate community.

What You’ll Do:

• Community Engagement: Be the voice of our brand across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook Groups, and other social platforms. Foster a sense of community by interacting with our customers, answering questions, and generating excitement around our competitions.
• Content Creation & Social Media: Collaborate with the team to create engaging posts, stories, and campaigns. This is a creative role where your ideas will shine, and you’ll get the chance to experiment with graphics, copy, and visuals.
• Competition Updates & Announcements: Keep our community in the loop about upcoming competitions, winners, and everything in between. You’ll be directly involved in keeping the buzz alive and making sure no one misses out.
• Collaboration with Marketing Team: As a support to the Head of Marketing, you’ll be working closely with a fantastic team that includes paid media experts and marketers. You’ll learn the ropes of the full marketing ecosystem and help amplify our presence online.

What We’re Looking For:

• Passion for Social Media: You’re excited about creating engaging content, getting people talking, and making sure everything feels fresh and exciting.
• Creative & Energetic: You’ll bring your creativity and energy to the table, always thinking of new ways to connect with and grow our audience.
• Interest in Our Niches: A love for Pokémon, LEGO, Warhammer, or tech is definitely a plus, but not a requirement. If you’re familiar with any of these communities, even better!
• Basic Graphic Design Skills: You’ll be creating posts and engaging content, so some experience with basic graphic design tools (like Canva or Adobe) is helpful.
• Adaptable & Growth-Oriented: This is a junior role, meaning you’ll be learning a lot and growing quickly. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to take on more responsibility as the role evolves.
• Supportive Team Player: You’ll be reporting to and collaborating directly with the Head of Marketing, who will provide training and guidance. We believe in strong collaboration, and your voice and ideas will always be heard and nurtured.
• Part-Time/Freelance: We’re looking for someone who’s flexible and able to balance this role with other projects they want to explore. However, consistency and daily commitment to the community are essential.

Why You Should Join Us:

• Growth Opportunity: This role is just the beginning. With the potential for growth, you’ll gain exposure to all levels of marketing and build a wide skill set that can take your career to the next level.
• Creative Freedom: We’re all about fresh ideas. Your creativity will be a driving force in how we connect with our community and keep things exciting.
• Work with a Collaborative Team: You won’t just be another cog in the machine. We’re a close-knit, supportive team where your input matters, and your growth is a priority.
• If you’re ready to be at the heart of a business that’s all about community and excitement, we’d love to hear from you!
