Zachary Daniels Recruitment is proud to be exclusively partnering with a highly successful international hospitality and lifestyle group in the search for an exceptional Head of Social Media.
This is a confidential appointment for a market-leading business with a portfolio of recognised consumer brands and ambitious growth plans. We're seeking a commercially minded and highly creative social media leader who can shape strategy, drive growth and deliver measurable business impact across multiple brands and audiences.
The Opportunity
Reporting into senior leadership, you'll lead the social media strategy across a diverse portfolio of brands, each with its own identity, audience and objectives.
You'll be responsible for building differentiated social strategies that reflect each brand's unique personality while driving audience growth, engagement and commercial performance. Working closely with marketing, brand, digital and operational teams, you'll ensure social media plays a central role in delivering business objectives.
Key Responsibilities Include:
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.
