About GreenThumb & Keyto Group
GreenThumb is the UK’s largest lawn care specialist, with over 250,000 customers and more than 200 branches nationwide. Trusted by lawn lovers for nearly 40 years, we’re a brand built on expertise, quality and care.
We’re now an exciting part of Keyto Group - a Nordic-backed, innovation-led organisation that’s investing in GreenThumb’s next chapter. With Keyto, we benefit from a forward-thinking team, regular AI and innovation workshops across all brands, a centralised performance media and design function, and a genuine ambition to build something special. This is an exciting moment to join us.
About The Role
You’ll own GreenThumb’s social media presence and communications, working closely with both the GreenThumb brand team and the Keyto Group Marketing function to deliver content that builds our community, drives engagement and reflects a brand we’re all proud of.
You’ll have real ownership - managing an influencer budget, building and executing an organic social strategy, and tracking the metrics that matter. Alongside social, you’ll play a key role in brand communications including our internal newsletter, editorial content and marketing materials.
