About Stride
The health optimisation company on a mission to help millions move from normal to optimal. Most people are guessing when it comes to their health. We’re here to change that.
Stride is the UK’s first digital home for health optimisation, an integrated system combining DNA, blood, and microbiome testing with expert coaching, high-quality supplements, and ePharmacy services.
We turn 500+ biomarkers into clear, actionable steps that adapt as your biology changes, helping you go from insight to action and from reactive to proactive health.
The Role
This is yours to build. You'll own Stride's social presence from the ground up: strategy, content, posting, community, all of it. You'll work closely with our Growth Lead so organic insight shapes paid, and paid learnings shape organic.
It will be genuinely hands-on: shooting, editing, writing and posting the content yourself, briefing external creators when it helps rather than relying on them to do the thinking.
What You'll Be Doing
Content & Channels
- Plan, create and publish across our core channels (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook to start)
- Get a real feel for what each platform wants, rather than recycling one format everywhere
- Build relationships with creators and partners for UGC and collaborations
- Stay close to what's moving in health, wellness and longevity content, and act on it fast
Community
- Handle comments, DMs and everyday engagement across our channels
- Be the first point of contact for how people experience Stride's personality
- Flag recurring questions or friction back to the wider team
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Growth Partnership
- Work with the Growth Lead on what gets boosted, what creative is working, and where organic insight should inform paid
- Support TikTok Shop and other organic-commerce features as they launch
- Feed content performance into wider funnel reporting
Measurement
- Track engagement and performance across channels
- Test formats, hooks and posting cadence properly, not just by feel
- Report on what social is actually contributing to awareness, traffic and conversion
How We'll Know It's Working
- Follower growth and engagement rate
- Content output and consistency
- Quality of the organic-to-paid handoff
- Community response time and quality
What You'll Bring
- 1-3 years in social or content, ideally at a DTC, subscription or health and wellness brand
- Real hands-on ability: you can shoot and edit yourself, not just brief someone else to
- A clear sense of what stops the scroll, and the ability to explain why
- Comfort moving between platforms with different native tones and formats
- Some understanding of how organic and paid social work together
- Fluency with AI tools to move faster: scripting, editing, research, ideation
- A strong written voice, and comfort being the one behind the DMs and comments
- Enough self-direction to build a function largely on your own, with support rather than a big team

A People team built for ambitious businesses
The old model for People & Talent doesn’t work for today's businesses. We've built a better one.
Traditionally, early-stage Founders had two options: handle People & Talent themselves, losing precious time they should be spending on product or go-to-market, or hire a generalist, expected to cover everything from culture to recruitment to performance. We offer a more impactful alternative: A fully flexible, fractional People & Talent team with specialist skillsets and hands-on delivery, ready to start driving impact for your business in weeks, not months.
