INOV8 Studios has changed a lot over the last few years.
What started as a small video team is now a content-first, performance-led partner working with tech, SaaS, automotive, and luxury brands. We build social systems that earn attention, convert, and improve over time.
We're now looking for a Social Media Manager to take ownership of client social strategy, lead execution, and grow with the business.
This role has a clear progression path to Head of Social, with equity potential after time served for the right person.
Your role:
You'll sit at the centre of our social offering.
You'll be responsible for individual client social strategies, reviewed and adjusted quarterly. Strategies are built collaboratively with our social, content, and management team, but you'll own them day to day.
You'll also manage a Social Executive, ensuring execution is consistent, organised, and aligned to strategy.
This role suits someone ready to step up, take ownership, and grow into a leadership position.
What you'll be doing:
- Owning social media strategy for multiple retained clients
- Building, reviewing, and evolving client strategies on a quarterly basis

- Working closely with videographers and editors to shape formats, hooks, and iterations
- Overseeing content calendars, posting, optimisation, and engagement
- Using performance data to inform creative and strategic decisions
- Feeding insights back into the wider content, social, and management teams
- Supporting onboarding, quarterly reviews, and ongoing client conversations
- Helping refine internal social processes as INOV8 continues to scale
- Lead monthly internal social round up meetings
What we're looking for:
- Experience managing brand social media accounts
- Comfortable contributing to strategy as well as execution
- Experience supporting or mentoring a junior team member
- Strong understanding of short-form platforms and performance-led content
- Confident writing captions and on-platform copy
- Organised, accountable, and commercially aware
- Experience with SaaS, tech, automotive, or performance brands is a bonus
Progression:
This role is expected to grow over time.
As INOV8 scales, this person will move towards a Head of Social position, taking on greater strategic responsibility, leading the social function, and helping build out the wider team.

- Real ownership and responsibility from day one

- Equity potential as the business grows
- Hybrid working
