WE'RE HIRING: SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER & CONTENT CREATOR
North West Birmingham
Very competitive salary
Full-time
We're a rapidly growing company entering an exciting new chapter, including a move into fantastic brand-new premises in North West Birmingham.
And now we want to seriously raise the bar on social.
We're looking for an ambitious Social Media Manager & Content Creator to join our busy marketing team and take ownership of social across Trucks Direct, GreenPower Forklifts and MiMA Forklifts UK.
You'll work alongside our busy marketing team, talented sales team and digital agency, so you'll have plenty of expertise, ideas and great content opportunities around you.
The challenge
It's a big one:
Grow our social activity and help make us the best in our industry across LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
We don't just want to post more. Our focus is firmly on quality over quantity. We want to create high-quality, original content that people in our industry genuinely want to watch, follow, share and engage with.
And importantly, this is a hands-on role.
We're looking for someone who wants to be out creating content, not sitting behind a desk waiting for content to arrive.
You should be comfortable picking up a camera or phone, getting out into the warehouse or onto a customer site, spotting an opportunity and turning it into great content.
What you'll be doing
- Owning and growing our social media channels
- Creating engaging video, photography, graphics and written content
- Filming and editing Reels, TikToks, Shorts and other video content
- Getting out into our warehouse, customer sites, demonstrations and deliveries to capture content
- Interviewing customers, salespeople and members of our team
- Turning forklift deliveries, demos, installations and customer stories into engaging content
- Creating and managing the social content calendar
- Scheduling and managing content through Metricool
- Working with our sales team to amplify brand content through their personal networks
- Growing followers, reach, engagement, website traffic and enquiries
- Monitoring performance and using data to continually improve our content
Who we're looking for
You'll be creative, confident, proactive and full of ideas.
We want someone who can walk into the business, look around and think:
"There's a story here."
And then go and create it.
You'll ideally have experience with:
- Social media management
- Video creation and editing
- Photography
- Copywriting
- Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite
- LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube
- Social analytics and reporting
- Content planning and scheduling
Experience with paid social advertising would be a definite advantage.
Knowledge of SEO and how social fits into the wider digital marketing and lead-generation funnel would also be beneficial.
Why join us?
You'll be joining us at a particularly exciting time.
We're growing rapidly, moving into brand-new premises, investing heavily in our brands and marketing, and have ambitious plans for the future.
You'll be part of a busy marketing operation rather than working in isolation, but you'll also have the freedom to bring your own ideas, creativity and personality to the role.
And you will have one very clear challenge:
Help us build the best social media presence in our industry.
If you're a hands-on content creator who also understands how to manage and grow social channels, we'd love to hear from you.
