Social & Influencer Associate Director

London / Hybrid

Are you a social & influencer leader ready to progress your career at a bold, creative, high‑performing agency? We’re partnering with an independent, award‑winning communications firm that works globally with standout consumer brands. They combine earned‑first creativity with social and influencer expertise, delivering campaigns that resonate, engage and make noise.

Why this role is exciting

• Join a fast‑moving, ambitious agency that retains a “small‑agency feel” while working with major consumer clients.
• Develop social strategy, shape & grow the influencer/social offering, build senior client relationships and drive results across standout campaigns.
• Play a key role in the agency’s evolution – influencing new ways of working, embedding best‑practice processes and steering influencer/social innovation.
• Strong social/influencer skills + commercial acumen = huge opportunity. The agency believes in future‑thinking campaigns, creative “earned‑first” ideas and doing things with impact.

What you’ll do

• Act as the senior lead for a portfolio of high‑profile social & influencer clients – from briefing through to strategy, execution and measurement.
• Strategically grow accounts and be a key member on new business pitches.
• Work across paid, owned & earned social/influencer channels to build innovative, integrated campaigns.
• Provide senior client counsel, presenting ideas, guiding strategy and ensuring best‑in‑class delivery.
• Nurture and mentor junior team members – managing, coaching and developing account team members while driving quality of output and collaboration.
• Oversee budgets, profitability and growth opportunities.

About you

• You’re already operating at (or ready to step up to) Associate Director level, with strong experience across social and influencer campaigns within an agency environment.
• You’re confident developing end‑to‑end influencer and social programmes: strategy, creative briefing, talent management, paid support, reporting and optimisation.
• You bring a commercial mindset – comfortable managing budgets, identifying opportunities, driving client growth and pitching for new business.
• You’re an inspiring client lead and team leader who thrives in a collaborative, fast‑paced, creative environment.
• Agile, entrepreneurial and culturally plugged‑in – you stay ahead of trends and love translating insight into impactful ideas.

Join an agency redefining how social and influencer campaigns connect brands with culture – and help shape the next chapter of their growth.
