Social Media Manager in Marlow

To be a Social Media Manager at an agency like BWP takes something special. You see, to us ‘Social Media Manager’ isn’t just a generic title, it means something. It means you’ve cut your teeth at Social Media Exec and Senior Social Media Exec level. 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.

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.

Benefits:

• Bespoke Personal Development Plans and the mentoring and support you need to pave your way to Senior Account Manager and beyond.
• Hybrid working – everyone at the agency enjoys three days collaborating and building strong working relations with colleagues in our Marlow town centre offices (Monday, Wednesday & Thursday) and two 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.
• A culture of appreciation, reward, and recognition with monthly and quarterly awards and celebrations.
• Company wellbeing programme including a free counselling service as needed.

What are we looking for from you?

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

If you think you’re the person we’re looking for, please apply with your CV and portfolio or examples of relevant social content you’ve previously created. If we like the look of your CV/portfolio, you’ll be set a practical task, to show us your skills in creating social media content. Impress us with your work and you’ll be invited to a Teams interview with a couple of the social team. Impress them and there’ll be one more stage – a more informal chat with some of the wider team. Wow them and the job’s yours!

Please note, we’re aiming to appoint the right candidate to start as soon as possible; therefore, applications will be considered as they are received. We typically respond to all applicants within two weeks of applying.
