About the Role
At Cardfactory and Funky Pigeon, we're looking for a creative and social-first Social Media Executive to help bring both brands to life across our social channels. This is an exciting opportunity to join a newly formed Brand and Social Media team and play a key role in delivering a new social media strategy across two well-known brands. You'll have the opportunity to create engaging content, grow online communities and help shape how Cardfactory and Funky Pigeon show up across social media.
Working both behind and in front of the camera, you'll have the freedom to bring fresh ideas, creative thinking, and a social-first mindset to the team. Based at either the Cardfactory Support Centre in Wakefield or the Funky Pigeon office in Bristol, this role offers hybrid working with 2 days per week in the office, alongside regular travel across the UK to stores, events, and content shoots.
