The Role

This is not simply a content-posting role.

• Coordinate with designers, video producers and other creatives to ensure content is delivered on schedule.

• Monitor comments, messages, mentions and overall community activity.

• Track social media performance and identify what is working, what is not, and what should change.

• Prepare monthly performance reports with meaningful insights and recommendations.

• Identify opportunities to improve client visibility, engagement and positioning.

• Stay informed on platform changes, emerging formats, relevant trends and competitor activity.

• Maintain consistent brand voice, messaging and visual direction across accounts.

• Participate in client meetings and contribute strategic ideas where required.

• Proactively identify opportunities beyond the existing content plan that could support client growth.

• What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of experience managing social media accounts professionally.

• Strong understanding of social media strategy, content planning and audience development.

• Excellent writing and communication skills.

• Ability to turn business objectives into practical social media strategies.

• Strong research and analytical skills.

• Good understanding of Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok and other relevant platforms.

• Experience using social media scheduling and analytics tools.

• Strong organisation and ability to manage multiple accounts and deadlines.

• Ability to work independently and take ownership of assigned accounts.

• Good understanding of brand positioning and digital communication.

• Ability to work effectively with designers, content producers and other team members.

• You Will Stand Out If You

• Can show measurable results from accounts you have managed.

• Understand that social media is a business tool, not just a posting channel.

• Can identify why content is underperforming and recommend what to do differently.

• Can develop original content ideas rather than relying entirely on trends.

• Have strong attention to detail and understand the importance of brand consistency.
