JOB PURPOSE
Burberry is seeking an experienced Social Media Manager to join our Organic Social Media team. You will have a proven track record of demonstrating exceptional knowledge and understanding of the Social Media landscape globally – including content ideation & optimisation, publishing algorithms, building and engaging communities, social listening & reporting, planning & execution of socially-led campaigns, understanding of the latest technologies impacting key global platforms and deliver results with a drive for testing and learning.
You live and breathe social, with your finger on the pulse of what’s trending to build & engage social communities around those trends.
