Content Marketing Executive (YouTube & Social) in Manchester

We’re hiring a Content Marketing Executive to help scale our content ecosystem across YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok and Meta. This is an ideal role for someone early in their marketing career who is passionate about content, understands how audiences consume long‑form content online, and is excited by the challenge of turning conversations, podcasts, interviews and founder insights into high‑performing content.

You’ll work closely with our marketing team, founders and content production team to help plan, package, distribute and optimise content that builds awareness, engagement and commercial impact. While experience with podcasts is a bonus, we’re primarily looking for someone who understands content marketing fundamentals, social platforms and what makes people stop, watch and engage. We’re also looking for someone who is excited by the world of eCommerce and consumer brands.

Whether through previous work experience, personal interests or side projects, you should have a genuine curiosity about how brands grow and how content can drive commercial outcomes.

• Help identify content opportunities, audience interests, emerging trends and high‑performing content formats.

• Schedule, publish and manage content across YouTube and relevant social platforms.
• Help distribute content across LinkedIn, TikTok, Meta and other relevant channels.
• Monitor content performance and identify opportunities to improve reach, engagement and business impact.

Mindset

This role is ideal for someone who spends time studying creators, YouTube channels, social content and growing brands.
