Why you might not be excited by us (or, be here for the challenge):

It’s a small, fast-moving agency where every person pulls weight and pushes standards. Here’s the truth: We’re still building, and we move fast and expect ownership. If you need constant direction, predictability, or want to coast, it’s not the role for you. There’s no safety net of a big team and you’ll be trusted to lead your own work and outcomes. You’ll be challenged. Constantly. By platforms evolving weekly, trends coming out daily, fast turnarounds, and picky clients who expect our high quality of content and ads management upheld. We’re obsessed with making better content and not just delivering “what the client asked for”. That means pitching new ideas, challenging lazy briefs, and going way beyond Canva templates and recycled trends. You’ll need to be a proactive learner. We offer support, resources, budget and time, but we don’t spoon-feed.

What You’ll Need to Succeed:

• 3+ years’ hands-on agency experience managing paid social media campaigns and clients.
• Excellent knowledge of social commerce platforms, especially TikTok, Meta, LinkedIn and Pinterest.
• Strong conversion copywriting ability.
• A solid track record of generating measurable returns, and growing social accounts and communities for brands and creators.
• Confidence in multi-channel strategy, reporting, briefing creators, and speaking directly with clients.
• Understanding of UGC and short-form video best practice, both briefing and editing.
• Experience using tools like Meta Business Suite, TikTok seller and affiliates centre, Google Analytics, Google Trends, Facebook Ads Library, CapCut, Canva, Figma, reporting tools etc.
• A proven ability to stay calm, organised and creative in a fast-paced environment.

If you do not have the paid media platform experience running live ads and multiple campaigns across accounts and brands at once, but do have the organic social experience, please take a look at our organic social media manager role instead.

What You’ll Be Doing (in real life, not just on a job spec):

• Lead on strategic development and execution across paid media campaigns across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Pinterest for B2B and B2C clients.
• Plan monthly campaigns and weekly content with clear objectives and creative angles.
• Collaborate closely with our founder and creative team to drive conversions and a measurable ROI on every campaign.
• Confidently brief creators, videographers and designers to bring your strategy to life.
• Content Creation & Execution: Write social-first copy in multiple brand voices engaging, concise, killer hooks, witty when needed, clear CTAs, always. Work across video, graphics and UGC - with the know-how to brief, script, and edit content effectively using in-house templates and support from our Creative Lead to execute paid content shoots. Spot and act on insight and trends with speed, without relying on “can we jump on this?” chat. You're plugged in.
• Community & Channel Management: Own the day-to-day of multiple paid brand channels tweaking budgets, audiences, and constantly testing creative to drive the CPA down. Nurturing the community, using all comments and feedback as insight to drive the next batch of creative to drill down to their pain points. Handle escalations and community issues professionally and quickly.
• Client Management: Run weekly or monthly check-ins, respond to feedback, and be proactive in showing what’s working (and what’s not). Present reports and recommendations backed by performance data.
• Reporting & Analytics: Track what matters: conversions, engagement, saves, shares, watch time. Pull reports, analyse content performance and drive month-on-month improvements. Confident in using eCommerce platforms, TikTok shop, affiliate platforms, Meta tools, Google Analytics, and paid reporting to inform the strategy. Owning your work and your outcomes. If something underperforms, we ask why, not who’s fault it is, but you’ll need to take accountability and bring solutions. If it pops off? We celebrate the wins, together!
