Position Overview:
Elevation Recruitment are partnering with a fast-growing manufacturer and e-commerce retailer. Unlike many online competitors, they design and manufacture their own products right here in the UK. Organic social content will play an increasingly important role in driving awareness, increasing engagement, strengthening brand relevance, and supporting long-term commercial growth.
This is an opportunity to join a fast-moving business and help shape how our brands show up across social platforms at scale.
Job Summary
Reporting to the Marketing Manager, we’re looking for a highly creative, culturally connected, and commercially driven Social Media and Content Creator to own and scale our organic social presence across a portfolio of leading home and brands.
This role goes far beyond publishing content. You’ll operate as an in-house content creator, storyteller, and growth driver developing ideas, creating social-first campaigns, and building content that increases brand awareness, audience engagement, and ultimately contributes to commercial growth.
Working across multiple brands and channels, you’ll create content ecosystems rather than isolated posts developing repeatable formats, content series, and audience-led storytelling designed to grow reach, community, and customer demand.
This is a highly hands-on role for someone obsessed with content, trends, and platform behavior, but equally comfortable using data and performance insight to guide creative decisions.
