Social media executive

📍 Remote/ With occasional visits to Leamington Spa and client offices in London

🕐 Full-time

💸 Competitive, based on experience


We’re looking for a creative, proactive and trend-savvy Social Media Executive to join our team at theLEAP, a specialist marketing agency that works with fast-growing recruitment companies across the UK, US and Australia.


This role is perfect for someone who lives on TikTok and Insta, knows what’s trending before it hits the FYP, and can create punchy, engaging content with a UGC-style approach. You’ll work across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, bringing brand stories to life and building engaged communities for both theLEAP and our clients.


What you’ll be doing


* Creating original video-first content for TikTok, Instagram Reels and Facebook
* Editing videos using tools like CapCut – fast, fresh, and always on-brand
* Spotting trends early and jumping on them with reactive content that aligns with our clients’ audiences
* Managing and growing social communities – replying to comments, engaging in DMs, and making brands feel human
* Scheduling content and helping shape content calendars that blend evergreen value with trend-led moments
* Collaborating with our wider team of strategists, designers and account managers to create campaigns that drive real engagement
* Keeping a close eye on performance metrics and spotting what’s working – and what’s not


What we’re looking for


* Proven experience creating and editing short-form video content – especially for TikTok and Instagram, this could be for your own profiles or for brands
* Confident using CapCut (or similar tools) to turn raw footage into polished content
* Sharp eye for trends and a fast response time – you’re the one in the group chat who always shares the latest viral audio
* Hands-on experience managing and growing social media communities
* Strong copywriting skills – tone of voice is everything
* Comfortable being on camera or directing others (UGC means you’re not afraid to create!)
* Organised and able to juggle multiple content streams across different accounts
* A genuine passion for social – you follow creators, brands and platforms for fun
Bonus if…
* You’ve worked with recruitment or service-based brands before
* You’ve used tools like Metricool or similar to plan and schedule content
* You’ve got experience briefing or managing influencers or creators
* You’ve built a personal brand or viral page yourself
