Social Media Manager
Richmond, west London (hybrid)
Full time · Salary £32-37k DOE
About us
We're OOB. A London-born, globally fluent social agency that turns brands into cultural icons. A studio that ships and refuses to be boring.
We need someone to own the part where all of that meets the feed.
This is the role that sits between strategy, content and data. Working with a key group of clients, you'll own the publishing calendar, make sure every asset is platform perfect before it goes out, and tell the team what's actually working. Not vibes - numbers.
What you'll do
- Publish: Own scheduling and publishing across platforms. On time, correctly formatted, on strategy. Every time.
- Create: Work with the wider team on content creation, filming, editing and design. You're able to turn your hand to this when needed, too.
- Optimise: Adapt every asset for the platform it lives on. Captions, formats, structure, feed behaviour. Nothing goes live half-fit.
- Plan: Run the content calendar with the team. Keep the mix right: always-on, campaign, reactive.
- Listen: Watch the conversation. Flag the trends, the appropriate moments and openings worth jumping on, keep responses fast and on tone.
- Prove it: Track engagement, reach, retention and CTR. Turn that into clear feedback for the wider team. Say what to scale, what to fix, what to kill.
- Go global: Support publishing and local adaptation across markets, so what works in one lands properly in the next.
- Keep it moving: Own the publishing workflows and approvals. Spot the friction, fix it, cut the rework.
