About the Role
The Social Media & Audience Engagement Manager plans, produces, and publishes social-first content across MadeForMums' channels, with a particular focus on short-form vertical video, audience growth, and engagement. This role sits at the intersection of social media, content creation, and audience development. It leads on producing engaging, platform-appropriate content that supports brand growth, increases audience interaction, and turns MadeForMums expertise, contributor input, and audience insight into high-performing social output.
It's a hands-on role: you'll film, edit, and deliver a consistent weekly pipeline — typically around 15 vertical videos and 10 static posts — drawing on in-house video, contributor-led UGC, explainers, memes, and other social-first formats, batched and planned in advance wherever possible.
You'll also lead the social promotion and audience recruitment behind key brand initiatives, including the MadeForMums Awards and impact-led campaigns, working closely with colleagues across Brand Marketing, Editorial, and Content Utility.
As a Social Media & Audience Engagement Manager, you will:
Social Media Content Creation and Delivery
- Lead the planning, production, and publishing of weekly social-first content across MadeForMums' channels, including short-form vertical video and static formats.
- Film, edit, and produce platform-appropriate, on-brand content, taking ideas through to published output.
- Appear on camera where needed — to present, support filming, or contribute to branded and editorial content.
- Use platform trends, audience insight, and performance signals to shape timely, relevant content and to refine format mix and publishing priorities.
- Support channel planning, scheduling, and publishing workflows to keep output consistent and efficient.
Audience Insight and Engagement
- Use call-outs, prompts, and reactive opportunities to increase interaction, surface feedback, and support repeat engagement.
- Use comments, questions, and audience feedback to inform content planning and support recruitment for initiatives such as the MadeForMums Awards and related testing programmes.
- Maintain a warm, inclusive, and trusted tone of voice across social channels and contributor communications, supporting moderation and timely responses where needed.
