Sphere is a curated professional network (app + community) for the UK financial services community: private equity, investment banking, law and adjacent sectors. We're looking for a Social Media Manager to own our channels end to end: strategy input, content creation, and the brand presence that ties our digital and event worlds together. Salary is dependent on experience.
What you'll do:
- Own day-to-day content across LinkedIn and Instagram, planning, creating, posting and engaging.
- Grow both channels with an audience of senior finance professionals, prioritising quality of audience over raw follower count.
- Create the visual assets: graphics, carousels, short-form video, event branding.
- Carry our brand consistently across social, events and marketing materials (one-pagers, brochures, partner collateral).
- Bring our events to life on social, before, during and after.
- Track what's working and adjust; report on reach, engagement and growth.
What we're looking for:
- Proven track record growing a brand's social following and engagement, ideally for a niche or professional audience.
- Strong design eye: you can produce polished, on-brand content yourself (or alongside freelancers).
- Genuinely good copywriter: clear, factual, understated. We don't do performative or cringe.
- Comfortable owning a channel independently and moving fast.
- A feel for what lands with a finance / professional services audience is a real plus.
