JOB OVERVIEW

We are Digital marketing , a UK-based digital marketing strategy practice that helps service-based business owners build authority, attract premium clients, and grow with clarity not guesswork.

We are looking for a highly skilled Social Media Manager and Automation Specialist who can own our entire social media presence, build and manage ManyChat automation flows, handle community engagement, and produce high-volume carousel content across all major platforms every single week.

If you are the kind of person who takes ownership, thinks strategically, and executes with precision — keep reading.
