Social Media Manager
Company: Yamabahce
Location: London — on site, with some flexibility
Contract: Full-time — 45 hours per week
Salary: £30,000 – £35,000 per annum, depending on experience
Start date: [Date / ASAP]
About us
Yamabahce is a Turkish restaurant and bar in London. We're known for our lokanta-style cooking, pide and lahmacun, and we're investing in how we present ourselves online — which makes this a good moment to join.
The role
We're looking for a Social Media Manager to own how Yamabahce shows up online. This isn't a desk-only job: you'll be in the restaurant, shooting content in the kitchen and on the floor, capturing the food and the atmosphere as they actually are. You'll set the content plan, run our channels day to day, and lead the social campaign for our new site opening.
You'll work closely with our General Manager, founder and directors, so comfort in a busy hospitality environment matters as much as creative skill.
What you'll do
Content creation
- Plan, shoot and edit photo and video content on site — dishes, drinks, kitchen prep, front of house, events
- Build and maintain a content calendar that reflects seasonal menu changes and key trading periods
- Keep a usable content library so we're never scrambling for assets
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.
