Job overview
An excellent career opportunity has arisen with a well-established, multi award-winning, full-service marketing agency based next to J46 M1 at Leeds. We seek a Social Media Marketing Executive with a genuine passion for social media, including video production and content planning.
This role is designed for a bold self-starter with the professional confidence to manage their own workload, navigate client site visits independently, and think on their feet to capture content.
You will be responsible for the entire content lifecycle - from initial conceptualisation and advance scheduling to on-site filming and editing. We need a creative who doesn't just follow a brief but proactively generates creative ideas for our clients.
Key Responsibilities
* Content Ownership: Lead the full lifecycle of content creation - conceptualisation, storyboarding, filming, and post-production - optimised for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
* On-Site Production: Act as our lead videographer and photographer. You'll travel to client sites independently, turning a brand's physical presence into a compelling digital experience.
* Strategic Growth & Planning: Proactively manage and schedule content calendars. You will ensure a consistent, data-driven presence across all platforms using industry-standard marketing tools.
* Collaborative: Work closely with the Head of PR and Account Managers to ensure social output aligns with broader marketing goals and delivers tangible results.
Required Skills & Qualifications
* Advanced Production & Visual Eye: Expert-level filming and photography skills with a deep understanding of mobile-first aesthetics and composition.
* Editing & Graphic Design Skills: Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro and Canva. We're looking for rhythmic cuts, synced audio, and high-engagement overlays as well as strong graphic design foundation to produce brand assets and professional photo edits for clients.
* Platform Expertise: Deep knowledge of all social media platforms, online marketing tools, and current best practices.
* Strategic Copywriting: Ability to translate complex subjects into punchy, channel-appropriate captions.
* Autonomous Drive: A proven track record of managing accounts independently. You are comfortable leading a shoot without constant supervision.
* Critical Thinking: A keen eye for detail and a solid understanding of the user journey - you don't just make things look pretty; you make them work.
About You
You are a proactive, collaborative team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You possess the rare bridge between meticulous attention to detail and wild creative enthusiasm.
You bring:
* Great interpersonal skills and the ability to build rapport with clients.
* Excellent time-management skills to juggle multiple projects.
* A problem-solving mindset - when a challenge arises, you've already found the solution.
We Offer
* Hybrid Flexibility: Potential for one day hybrid working after the initial induction/probationary period.
* Client Diversity: No two days are the same; you'll work across a variety of sectors and brands.
