Head of Social Media
A consumer health and wellbeing brand is looking for a Head of Social to lead their next chapter. This is a rare opportunity to own social strategy and delivery across both a highly engaged consumer audience and a business-facing audience, with real appetite from the top to shift meaningful brand-building budget into social.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the global social media strategy across both consumer and business-facing audiences
- Lead, develop and grow a team of five (including social managers, a community manager, a specialist, and an editor)
- Act as the internal expert and advisor on social to senior stakeholders, including board-level presentations
- Shape and grow an emerging influencer approach, working alongside the brand's ambassador programme
- Partner with in-house content and external agency partners to deliver a consistent volume of brand-building social content
- Champion a shift of above-the-line brand budget into owned and paid social channels
