Freelance Paid Social Account Manager | £250 per day | Outside IR35
3-Month Contract | Central London | Hybrid Working
I'm currently working with a growing independent agency that is looking for an experienced Freelance Paid Social Account Manager to join its team on an initial 3-month contract.
You'll be working on a well-known restaurant chain, taking ownership of paid social campaigns across the major platforms and working closely with a small, collaborative agency team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong agency experience who is confident managing campaigns end to end and can hit the ground running.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage and optimise paid social campaigns across Meta, TikTok and other major social platforms.
- Take ownership of campaign planning, setup, activation and ongoing optimisation.
- Manage campaign budgets and performance to deliver against client objectives.
- Analyse campaign data and provide actionable recommendations to improve performance.
- Work closely with internal teams to develop creative and audience testing strategies.
- Provide regular reporting, insights and updates to clients and internal stakeholders.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
