Social Media Manager — Live Events & Festivals
Reading (hybrid, one day a week in the office) · Full-time · £32,000–£40,000 DOE
Our client is one of the UK's most exciting live events businesses — outdoor music festivals, a summer concert series and a large-scale winter light trail running across multiple cities. They're looking for a Social Media Manager to own the digital presence across the whole portfolio.
This is a hands-on content role. You'll plan and create content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X and LinkedIn, run the content calendar around ticket launches and lineup announcements, manage the community and DMs, work with a paid social specialist on campaigns that actually sell tickets, and get stuck into influencer and partnership outreach. Best part: you'll be on the ground at event days capturing real-time content and being part of the action.
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.
You'll be shooting, editing, writing and posting yourself, not just scheduling other people's work. If you've run social for an events brand, venue, festival or hospitality business and want your content seen by tens of thousands of attendees, this is a good one.
