Role: Social Media Manager - 12 month FTC
Location: London, United Kingdom
About The Role
As Social Media Manager working for one of our brand new FMCG brand accounts, you'll own how the brand shows up day-to-day on social. You'll be responsible for publishing, platform optimisation, and performance tracking - ensuring content is not just delivered, but delivered well: at the right time, in the right format, and continuously improving. Based in London on a hybrid basis (2–3 days per week), you'll work closely with Social Strategists, Content Creators, Designers, Data Analysts, and Account Managers to keep output aligned and always moving forward.
This is an execution-critical role at the heart of a high-volume social studio. You'll own the publishing calendar, ensure every asset is platform-optimised before it goes live, and feed performance insight back into the team to drive continuous improvement.
The role bridges strategy (what the brand should do), content (what gets created), and data (what's working). Success here looks like content that lands correctly every time, performance that improves week on week, and a team that has clear, actionable insight to work with.
What You Will Be Doing
Publishing and Platform Management
- Own scheduling and publishing across platforms including TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts
- Ensure all content is posted on time, correctly formatted per platform, and aligned with channel strategy
- Manage platform calendars across always-on content and campaign activity
Platform Optimisation
- Adapt content for each platform - adjusting captions, formats, and structure to apply platform-specific best practices
- Ensure every asset is fit for feed behaviour and optimised for engagement before it goes live
Content Planning and Calendar Management
- Maintain and manage the content calendar, collaborating with Strategists, Account Managers, and Content teams to ensure delivery readiness
- Ensure a balanced mix of planned content, campaign activity, and reactive opportunities across the calendar at all times
