Social Media Specialist (Brand & Growth)
Central London - 3+ days in office
£35,000 - £45,000 + benefits
Forward Role is recruiting for a fast-growing, premium consumer brand - well-regarded and has built its name so far without any paid marketing. Growth has come from word of mouth and a genuinely engaged following.
They're now looking for the first person to properly own social. There's no strategy to inherit and no playbook to follow - Instagram is already working VERY well and has real momentum; TikTok is untouched and building it from nothing is entirely down to you!
What you'd be doing:
- Owning Instagram strategy day to day and pushing it further
- Building a TikTok presence from zero, including tone, format and content style
- Writing creative briefs and directing an in-house design team
- Planning and managing the content calendar around campaigns and key moments
- Running community management across DMs and comments
- Growing the brand's audience and reach while keeping its identity intact
- Setting the metrics that matter and reporting on them honestly
- Supporting real-world events alongside the online presence
- Working closely with the wider brand and commercial team
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 they're looking for:
- Genuine knowledge of the luxury, fashion, retail industry and a strong sense of what's actually good
- Comfortable with data and honest reporting on performance
- Happy to be hands-on - briefing creative one minute, replying to a DM the next
- Strong writing and a good sense of tone
- Confident making decisions quickly, often without a precedent to lean on
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Bonus if you've got a trusted freelancer network, have worked across more than one market or have launched a channel from zero before.
This is a genuine ownership opportunity. You'd have full control of the brand's social presence from day one, a clear path of progression, and the chance to build a team underneath you as the function grows, backed by a wider group with real investment behind it.
Hybrid - minimum 3 days a week in a London office, ideally more.
