Social Media Manager

Role Overview

Looking to make your mark in organic social? This is your chance to join an award-winning creative agency where social is at the heart of everything. Alongside a collaborative, people-first culture you’ll get hybrid working, a dedicated training budget, personal development plan from day one, generous holiday allowance, birthday perks, recognition vouchers and regular team socials – everything you need to grow your career and enjoy coming to work.

As Social Media Manager, you’ll plan and deliver bold, insight-led campaigns across multiple brands and platforms – creating, executing and optimising strategies that drive engagement and deliver measurable results. This isn’t a pure content-creation role: you’ll plan and schedule content calendars, collaborate with creatives, and dig into the why behind the numbers to uncover trends and shape decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and execute organic social strategies across multiple platforms
• Generate fresh, trend-led ideas and content to enhance client campaigns
• Plan and schedule content calendars (blending studio content with UGC)
• Manage day-to-day client strategies – planning, posting, engaging and community management / social listening
• Capture and analyse data/metrics to continually improve delivery – producing weekly and monthly reports that go beyond surface metrics, uncovering trends, explaining the why and recommending optimisations
• Work with colleagues to scope and quote accurately on projects
• (Bonus) Support PPC/GDN management and deployment

 What You’ll Bring

• Experience working in a creative or digital agency environment, ideally across multiple brands
• Strong understanding of TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn, and how to optimise content for each audience
• Proven track record in audience research, data-driven analysis and ROI delivery – comfortable digging into the context behind metrics
• Hands-on experience with organic activations (paid a plus)

 What’s on Offer

A starting salary of £30-33K (DOE), hybrid working (3 days in the office, 2 WFH), 25 days’ holiday plus Christmas shutdown, auto-enrolment pension after probation, an annual individual training budget, two experience days a year for personal development, a birthday meal voucher up to £75, employee recognition vouchers, and regular socials and team-building activities. The agency is based near Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
