JOB OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a creative, highly organised and social-first Social Media Manager to join a growing UK social media agency.

You’ll work across four key accounts - three Instagram accounts and one Instagram + LinkedIn account (business and personal page) taking ownership of much of the day-to-day content creation and execution.

This isn’t a role where you’ll simply be handed content and asked to schedule it. We’re looking for someone who genuinely understands social media: what makes someone stop scrolling, why certain hooks work, how to turn a simple idea into engaging content and how to adapt your approach for completely different brands and audiences.

You’ll be working closely with the agency founder and content creator, but we’re looking for someone who can eventually take real ownership of their responsibilities, bring ideas to the table and help us make our clients’ content better.

What you’ll be doing

Your responsibilities will include:

* Developing monthly social media content ideas across multiple client accounts
* Creating detailed shoot plans and briefs for content creator
* Turning raw footage into engaging, social-first Reels using CapCut
* Developing strong hooks and testing different creative approaches
* Designing carousels, Stories and other social graphics in Canva
* Writing engaging captions in different brand tones of voice
* Planning and creating daily Instagram Stories
* Curating relevant UGC and third-party content
* Scheduling and publishing content
* Supporting day-to-day community management
* Researching trends, competitors and new content opportunities
* Creating variations of Reels for testing
* Reviewing analytics and helping identify what’s working and what we should test next
* Supporting influencer research and outreach
* Managing multiple content calendars, deadlines and deliverables
* Supporting content for our agency’s own social channels
* Working across both Instagram and LinkedIn

Who we’re looking for

You’ll have 3+ years of previous professional experience working in social media, either within an agency, as a freelancer or in-house managing brand accounts.

You should have:

* Excellent written English
* Strong copywriting skills
* Excellent Canva/design skills and a good eye for layout, typography and branding
* Strong CapCut/video-editing skills
* A genuine understanding of social-first content
* An understanding of hooks, retention and what makes short-form content engaging
* Strong content ideation skills
* A strong understanding of LinkedIn and Instagram
* An understanding of how brand voice changes between different clients and audiences
* Strong attention to detail
* Excellent organisation and time management
* The ability to manage several accounts and deadlines simultaneously
* The ability to follow detailed instructions and brand guidelines
* Confidence using analytics to understand content performance
* Good research skills
* A proactive approach - if you see an opportunity or have a better idea, we want you to say it
* The ability to take feedback, learn from it and apply it to future work
* A reliable internet connection and computer capable of video editing
* Confidence verbally communicating
* A collaborative, team-player mentality

Bonus points if you have:

* Previous social media agency experience
* Experience managing multiple brands at the same time
* Experience with influencer outreach
* Experience working with ideally UK brands (or USA/ Australian brands)
* Experience using project-management/content-planning tools
* Experience using AI tools effectively as part of your workflow

The person we’re looking for:

We’re interested in finding someone who thinks like a social media marketer than someone who simply knows how to use Canva and CapCut and post on Instagram.

You notice when a hook isn’t strong enough.

You can look at raw footage and see three different ways it could become a Reel.

You understand that content for one client shouldn’t sound or look exactly like content for another.

You’re organised enough that deadlines don’t need chasing, but creative enough to bring fresh ideas to the table.

You care about the small details. You check your work before submitting it and take pride in producing something you’re happy to put in front of a client.

What we offer

* Full-time, long-term remote position
* Monday–Friday working schedule
* Consistent monthly salary
* Opportunities for salary progression as the agency grows
* Training and development
* A collaborative working relationship where your ideas are genuinely valued
* Exposure to a variety of brands and industries

Please send a resume and portfolio with examples of relevant work with application
