Social Content Manager

Do you instinctively notice trends before everyone else? Do you love creating social content that entertains, surprises and genuinely earns attention?

If so, we'd love to hear from you.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll spend the majority of your time dreaming up, creating and optimising social-first content for one of our clients' social media channels. From trend-led Instagram Reels and TikToks to humour-driven reactive content, you'll help turn ideas into content people actually want to watch.
