Role Overview
Nest is seeking a Social Media Manager to help shape our social media presence. This is a role for someone who understands what makes content work in real feeds: someone creative, curious, and confident enough to bring fresh ideas, spot opportunities, and turn complex subjects into content people actually want to engage with.
Social media at Nest is moving into a more ambitious, social-first space, with a focus on platform-native storytelling, short-form video, and creative experimentation rooted in audience insight. The successful candidate will play a key role in helping us make pensions feel more relevant, engaging, and useful, while maintaining the trust, accuracy, and credibility our audiences expect.
The minimum criteria for this role are:
- Experience working in a social media role, either in-house or agency-side.
- Strong knowledge of major social media platforms and how content, audiences, and best practice differ by channel.
- Experience developing and delivering social media content, content plans, or campaigns.
- Experience creating, reviewing, or optimizing social media content and copy, including short-form video content.
- Experience using social media insights, analytics, or reporting to inform recommendations and improve performance.
- Experience managing incoming social media messages, identifying customer service issues or reputational risks, and escalating these appropriately.
- Experience working with multiple stakeholders and managing competing priorities and deadlines.
Don't worry if you think you don't have all the key skills; it might be worth taking the few minutes to apply as we're good at spotting potential. At Nest, you’ll have access to a range of learning opportunities to learn, grow, and build the skills you need to be successful in your role and career.
