The Junior Social Media Executive Mission: Kickers is an iconic brand, deeply embedded in UK culture. As Junior Social Media Executive, you’ll help bring the brand to life across our social channels — ensuring we show up authentically in key cultural moments, continue to engage with the Kickers community and tell the story of this brand in a compelling and relevant way. From big brand activations to product launches and major events, you’ll be on hand to capture content, and translate them onto our feed. You’ll also play a big role in ensuring that Kickers continue to be ‘the uniform’ for school kids across the country, helping the brand continue to be trusted by parents and lead the way on the playground.

How you’ll drive success:

• Support the Senior Content & Community Manager in delivering the Kickers social strategy across Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest.
• Schedule and publish Kickers content across both the Kickers Adults and Kids social channels, delivering compelling content and best-in-class execution.
• Actively manage and engage with the Kickers community across social channels — driving advocacy, two-way conversation and ensuring brand visibility in the conversations that matter.
• Support the management of the social content calendar, ensuring we consistently show up in an authentic manner, in the right cultural moments.
• Create trend-led, reactive and engaging content aligned to platform behaviours and emerging social formats.
