Social Media Manager

Thundr Digital is a growing full-service digital marketing agency working with ambitious B2B and B2C brands across social media, SEO, paid advertising, email marketing and website development.

We’re looking for a full-time Social Media Manager to join our Edinburgh team and take ownership of a growing portfolio of client social accounts.

This is much more than a content scheduling role.

You’ll be involved from strategy through to delivery, working directly with clients to understand their goals, develop ideas, create content and use performance data to continually improve what we do.

We’re still a relatively small team, so you’ll have plenty of autonomy, direct access to clients and the opportunity to help shape how our social media offering develops as Thundr grows.

The role

• Developing 3–6 month social media strategies, including goals, content pillars, key campaigns, seasonal content and important moments throughout the year
• Turning those strategies into clear monthly content plans and detailed filming-day briefs
• Planning and attending client filming days, arriving with ideas, hooks, concepts, scripts and shot lists ready to go
• Editing short-form video and creating engaging content for Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok and other platforms where our clients’ audiences are
• Managing content calendars, client approvals and scheduling
• Taking ownership of day-to-day client relationships, including regular communication, updates and check-ins
• Preparing social media reports, interpreting performance data and turning insights into clear recommendations and next steps
• Keeping up with platform trends, competitor activity and new opportunities and proactively bringing fresh ideas to clients
• Supporting campaigns, launches and wider marketing activity alongside the rest of the Thundr team
• You'd be a great fit if
• You have previous experience managing social media accounts, whether within an agency, in-house or through freelance work
• You enjoy the strategy side of social media just as much as creating the content
• You’re confident filming and editing short-form video and understand what makes people stop scrolling
• You have strong analytical and reporting skills and can turn performance data into useful, actionable insights
• You’re naturally creative and regularly bring your own ideas rather than waiting to be given them
• You’re comfortable communicating directly with clients, presenting ideas and taking ownership of your accounts
• You’re organised, proactive and comfortable managing multiple clients, filming days, deadlines and priorities at the same time
• Agency experience would be beneficial, but it isn’t essential if you can demonstrate that you have the skills and attitude we’re looking for.
• What you'll get
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Opportunities to attend industry events, conferences and networking sessions
• Plenty of autonomy, responsibility and opportunity to grow your role as Thundr grows
• Exposure to wider digital marketing disciplines including SEO, paid media, email marketing and website projects
• A small, supportive team where your ideas will genuinely be heard
• Performance-based bonuses, rewards and additional perks as the agency grows
• Location & salary
• Edinburgh-based
• Full-time
• Salary is competitive and dependent on experience.

We know “competitive salary” can feel vague, so if you’d like a rough indication before applying, feel free to message us and we’ll happily give you one.

Hiring process

Our hiring process will typically involve an initial review of your application, followed by an informal first conversation with the Thundr team.

Shortlisted candidates may then be invited to a further interview or practical stage so we can get a better understanding of how you approach social media strategy, content and client work.

We’ll explain each stage clearly before asking you to complete anything.
