WE'RE HIRING: SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER & CONTENT CREATOR
North West Birmingham
Very competitive salary
Full-time
We’re a rapidly growing company entering an exciting new chapter, including a move into fantastic brand-new premises in North West Birmingham. And now we want to seriously raise the bar on social.
We’re looking for an ambitious Social Media Manager & Content Creator to join our busy marketing team and take ownership of social across Trucks Direct, GreenPower Forklifts, and MiMA Forklifts UK.
You'll work alongside our busy marketing team, talented sales team, and digital agency, so you'll have plenty of expertise, ideas, and great content opportunities around you.
The challenge
It's a big one:
- Grow our social activity and help make us the best in our industry across LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
- Our focus is firmly on quality over quantity. We want to create high-quality, original content that people in our industry genuinely want to watch, follow, share, and engage with.
- This is a hands-on role. We're looking for someone who wants to be out creating content, not sitting behind a desk waiting for content to arrive.
- You should be comfortable picking up a camera or phone, getting out into the warehouse or onto a customer site, spotting an opportunity, and turning it into great content.
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.
What you'll be doing
- Owning and growing our social media channels
- Creating engaging video, photography, graphics, and written content
- Filming and editing Reels, TikToks, Shorts, and other video content
- Getting out into our warehouse, customer sites, demonstrations, and deliveries to capture content
- Interviewing customers, salespeople, and members of our team
- Turning forklift deliveries, demos, installations, and customer stories into engaging content
- Creating and managing the social content calendar
- Scheduling and managing content through Metricool
- Working with our sales team to amplify brand content through their personal networks
- Growing followers, reach, engagement, website traffic, and enquiries
- Monitoring performance and using data to continually improve our content
Who we're looking for
You'll be creative, confident, proactive, and full of ideas. We want someone who can walk into the business, look around, and think:
“There's a story here.” And then go and create it.
You'll ideally have experience with:
- Social media management
- Video creation and editing
- Photography
- Copywriting
- Canva and/or Adobe Creative Suite
- LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube
- Social analytics and reporting
- Content planning and scheduling

Experience with paid social advertising would be a definite advantage. Knowledge of SEO and how social fits into the wider digital marketing and lead-generation funnel would also be beneficial.
Why join us?
You'll be joining us at a particularly exciting time.
- We're growing rapidly, moving into brand-new premises, investing heavily in our brands and marketing, and have ambitious plans for the future.
- You'll be part of a busy marketing operation rather than working in isolation, but you'll also have the freedom to bring your own ideas, creativity, and personality to the role.
- And you'll have one very clear challenge: Help us build the best social media presence in our industry.
If you're a hands-on content creator who also understands how to manage and grow social channels, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply through LinkedIn and show us what you can create.
If you have a portfolio, social accounts, videos, or examples of content you're particularly proud of, we definitely want to see them.
