The Mission
Our client is looking for a Social Media Manager who lives and breathes internet culture. Someone who can jump on a trend before it peaks, turn an idea into content at speed, and build communities people genuinely want to be part of.
This role is perfect for someone equally comfortable behind the camera, in the edit suite, or front and centre on screen. You ll lead the charge across TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and YouTube, creating content that feels native to each platform while driving real audience growth and engagement.
From reactive short form moments to long form storytelling and YouTube monetisation strategy, you ll play a huge role in shaping how our client shows up online.
You ll be their social native. A creative thinker, trend spotter, content producer, strategist, and community builder all rolled into one.
What You ll Be Doing Content and Creative
. Lead the social strategy across TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and YouTube while maintaining a strong presence across Facebook, X, Threads, and Pinterest.
. Film, edit, produce, and publish engaging social first content with a creator mindset.
. Confidently appear on camera and help bring the brand personality to life.
. Build and execute a dedicated YouTube strategy across Shorts and long form content with a focus on audience growth and monetisation.
. React quickly to trends, cultural moments, memes, and online conversations while keeping content fresh and relevant.
Creator and Influencer Partnerships
. Manage a varied roster of creators, influencers, and collaborators.
. Source new talent, negotiate partnerships, and develop standout campaign briefs.
. Oversee creator content from concept to feedback to final delivery.
. Work closely with e commerce teams to align social content with shopping and affiliate opportunities.
Community and Culture
. Stay deeply connected to internet culture, emerging trends, and audience behaviour.
. Lead community engagement across platforms, especially TikTok and Reddit, creating spaces people actually want to participate in.
. Identify audience insights, feedback, and emerging conversations and feed them back into the wider marketing team.
. Collaborate closely with brand, design, marketing, and e commerce teams to ensure content supports wider business goals.
Growth and Innovation
. Experiment with fresh formats, platform features, and audience growth tactics.
. Use analytics and performance data to shape future content decisions.
. Explore AI powered tools and workflows to speed up production and increase creative output.
. Constantly look for ways to push content beyond the expected and stand out online.
What You ll Bring
. Experience in social media, content creation, or video production, ideally within sport, gaming, entertainment, or lifestyle brands.
. Advanced editing skills across Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or similar tools.
. A strong understanding of what works in vertical video and why people stop scrolling.
. Confidence both behind and in front of the camera.
. Experience growing YouTube channels and building engaged online communities.
. A genuine passion for digital storytelling, internet culture, and social first content.
. The ability to move fast, think creatively, and keep up with the internet when it inevitably changes direction overnight.
Why You ll Love It
This is an opportunity to shape the voice of a fast moving brand with a growing digital presence. You ll have the freedom to experiment, create bold content, and build communities that genuinely care about what you make.
If your camera roll is full of half edited ideas, your algorithm somehow predicts trends before they happen, and you instinctively think we should film that multiple times a day, you ll probably fit right in.
