The Role:

As Social Media Manager, you’ll take ownership of the company’s social media presence, developing and executing platform-specific strategies that increase reach, engagement, brand awareness and audience growth.

Working closely with the founder and media team, you’ll manage content planning, campaign execution, performance analysis and community engagement across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute social media strategies across all key platforms
  • Manage the social content calendar and publishing schedule
  • Repurpose long-form podcasts, interviews and speaking content into engaging short-form media
  • Create and oversee LinkedIn posts, carousels, educational content and branded assets
  • Collaborate with editors and creatives to produce high-performing content
  • Monitor trends, identify viral opportunities and recommend platform-native content formats
  • Analyse performance metrics and optimise content based on data and insights
  • Increase organic reach, engagement and audience growth across all major channels
  • Manage community engagement and audience interaction
  • Maintain brand consistency and quality across all content

What We’re Looking For:

  • 3+ years’ experience in social media management, content marketing or digital marketing
  • Strong understanding of Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube
  • Proven track record of growing social media audiences and engagement
  • Experience managing content calendars and social campaigns
  • Strong copywriting and storytelling skills
  • Excellent organisational and project management abilities
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience working with personal brands, podcasts or creators
  • Knowledge of viral content strategy and organic growth
  • Experience using Canva, CapCut, Adobe Suite or similar tools
  • Background in business, education or entrepreneurial brands

Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to join a scaling business with a serious content engine, strong market presence and genuine growth ambitions.

You’ll have creative ownership, access to premium content assets, and the chance to play a key role in building a modern media brand with significant reach and influence.
