OUR TEAM IS GROWING
The Social Cow is looking for our next Social Media Assistant to join our growing team. You’ll need to be based in the UK and able to travel to London for client shoots, meetings and team days.
WHO ARE WE?
We’re The Social Cow, a strategy-led social media agency with 10 years of experience building brands on social. Working across London and Dubai, we partner with brands across fashion, beauty, jewellery, wellness, hospitality and lifestyle. Strategy first. Always.
THE ROLE
This is a hands-on role spanning social strategy, creative development, content creation and day-to-day social management. You’ll work across a varied portfolio of clients, helping to turn strategy into content that is relevant, creative and designed to perform. No two clients are the same, so no two weeks are either.
Your week could look something like this:
- Monday: Researching trends, developing content ideas and building client content calendars.
- Tuesday: On location in London capturing social-first content for a luxury client.
- Wednesday: Editing Reels, writing hooks and developing creative concepts.
- Thursday: Community management, client catch-ups and analysing content performance.
- Friday: Brainstorming upcoming campaigns and next month’s strategy with the team.

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.
