About the brand
A group of experienced beauty industry operators is currently building a new fragrance-led brand that will launch later this year. The founding team brings together senior expertise across brand, product, marketing and creative from some of the most recognisable names in beauty. We are now beginning to assemble a small founding team of collaborators who are excited by the opportunity to help shape something from the ground up. This is a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where ideas turn into action quickly. We are looking for people who are energised by the beauty industry, comfortable working in an early-stage start-up, and motivated by the chance to be part of the initial build of a brand that intends to do things differently.
Social Media Manager / Senior Executive
Social will play a critical role in how this brand is built. We are looking for a Social Media Manager or Senior Executive who is excited by the challenge of starting from zero and helping to build a community from the ground up.
This is an opportunity to join at the very beginning of a brand journey and help shape how it shows up in the world. The founding team will define the overarching direction and ambition for social, but we are looking for someone who can take ownership of the day-to-day running of our channels and help bring that vision to life through strong execution, creative thinking and consistent content delivery.
You should feel comfortable working in a fast-moving start-up environment where things evolve quickly. The right person will enjoy the balance between creativity and organisation, from planning and publishing content to collaborating with creators and helping build a distinctive social presence for a new beauty brand.
While the brand is global in ambition and being built by experienced beauty industry insiders, it is proudly based in Essex. This role offers a rare opportunity to work on the launch of a globally minded beauty brand outside of London and to be part of the founding team shaping its early voice and presence.
Key Responsibilities
* Managing the day-to-day running of the brand’s social media channels (with a focus on Instagram and TikTok)
* Planning and maintaining content calendars to ensure a consistent and engaging presence
* Creating and publishing content across platforms
* Collaborating with external content creators and freelancers to produce engaging social-first content
* Supporting the development of a distinctive and disruptive brand presence on social
* Monitoring performance and helping to optimise content based on what resonates with audiences
* Supporting the founder and her team in building and growing the brand’s community from launch
What We Are Looking For
* A genuine passion for social media and the role it plays in shaping modern brands
* Experience managing social media accounts, ideally within beauty, fashion or lifestyle
* Confidence creating and editing content suitable for social platforms
* Strong organisational skills and the ability to plan and maintain content calendars
* A creative mindset and enthusiasm for building something from the ground up
* Comfort working in a start-up environment where ideas and priorities move quickly
Location
This role is based in Essex and will require some in-person time working with the founding team. We would ideally like to hear from candidates who are able to travel easily to the area.
