• Plan, create, and oversee the delivery of social media content across platforms using scheduling tools — ensuring output is on‑brand, audience‑appropriate, and optimised for performance.
• Lead paid social media campaigns from planning through to execution and optimisation — setting measurable goals, managing budgets, tracking ROI, and reporting results clearly.
• Identify and evaluate opportunities for channel performance improvement based on user data, platform analytics, and competitor analysis.
• Produce monthly performance reports for the Head of Marketing — tracking, analysing, and presenting insights from social platforms using tools including Google Analytics, and recommending changes to the overall strategy.

• Provide strategic recommendations on content creation that connect with key audience groups in the pharmaceutical and B2B space.
• Collaborate with internal teams, client stakeholders, and third‑party agencies — maintaining clear communication on deliverables, timelines, and expectations throughout.

• Experience developing and presenting performance reports to senior stakeholders, translating data into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Knowledge of the broader digital marketing landscape and an understanding of how social media channels interact with other digital touchpoints, including the website.

• Ability to integrate effectively within a client‑side team while maintaining the standards and accountability of an agency service.
• Experience in the events or pharmaceutical sector is an advantage; B2B experience is essential.
