Overview
To be a Social Media Manager at an agency like BWP takes something special. It means you\'ve cut your teeth at Social Media Exec and Senior Social Media Exec level. (Spoiler: If these job titles don\'t mean anything to you, you\'re probably not right for us.) It also means you\'ve been initiated in the wonderful world of agency life, where you\'re used to working on and communicating with multiple clients with multiple requests and multiple (often conflicting) priorities. We don\'t say this to alienate those of you who haven\'t had agency experience. We say it because we\'re yet to find someone who hasn\'t been exposed to the agency ways of working that\'s been able to come in at Social Media Manager level for us and achieve. And achieve is what we want our Social Media Managers to do. From the moment you start, you will be given clients to manage, colleagues to coordinate, and deadlines to meet.
If any of this scares you then please, turn around now. Still here? Great, then read on...
What is BWP and why should I work for the agency?
BWP is an award winning destination marketing agency. We elevate brands with impactful, creative strategies that bring people to places to achieve commercial growth. Our work supports the growth of household name brands and destinations like Trafford Centre, Lakeside, Eldon Square and Braehead.
This is our website https://bwpgroup.com/. Pretty much everything we do is on there so it\’s a good place to start if you are interested.
All our employees enjoy the standard benefits you\’d expect - a competitive salary (in this case £32-35k); 25 days paid holiday plus bank holidays and an extra day for your birthday; and a pension scheme. Plus, we also offer:
* Bespoke Personal Development Plans and the mentoring and support you need to pave your way to Senior Account Manager and beyond.
* Hybrid working – enjoy two days collaborating and building strong working relations with colleagues in our Deansgate offices (Tuesday & Thursday) and three days working from anywhere.
* Company bonus scheme (discretionary) – if BWP does well, so do you. Our Account Managers can get up to 6% of annual salary as a bonus.
* A busy social calendar with regular company socials.
* The opportunity to join one of our Action Groups – DE&I, Climate, CSR or our Social Committee – and positively influence not only agency life but also the wider community we live and work in.
* A culture of appreciation, reward, and recognition with monthly and quarterly awards and celebrations.
* Company wellbeing programme including a free counselling service as needed.
(Note: This role is based with our social media team in central Manchester. There will be company socials & trips where you will be asked to visit our head offices in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.)
What are we looking for from you?
We’re only interested in speaking to people whose CVs and portfolios showcase:
* 2+ years relevant experience producing, scheduling and delivering social media content and ideas, with at least 1 year of this being in a social media or marketing agency.
* Creativity. We really value people who think outside the box and are looking for portfolios showcasing unique, creative and engaging content ideas that have met and exceeded clients’ KPIs.
Tick those two boxes? Great. You’ll stand out if you can also prove you are:
* Accurate and detail oriented. We assume you\'ll put the same effort into ensuring your CV/portfolio is grammatically correct and typo-free as you put into your social content. You have been warned!
* Able to manage clients. You thrive in a client-facing role, you enjoy building relationships and can talk clients through what you’re doing in a clear, concise & friendly manner.
* A collaborator. You produce your best work working alongside creative teams and can brief and collaborate with content creators to create engaging multimedia content that delivers on KPIs and builds a strong presence on social media.
* Able to understand & interpret social media data. You will be in charge of monthly reporting so it’s important you can summarise and highlight key insights to maximise learning and shape future plans.
* A lifelong learner. You’re passionate about keeping up to date with current social trends and sharing these with the wider team. We want to create unique content and that means staying ahead of the curve and trying new things.
