Social Media Strategist
Leeds
£35-45k
We’re working with a brilliant independent agency in Leeds looking to add a new Social Media Strategist to their team.
Our Client
An independent agency with some lovely consumer clients for whom they’ve produced some highly creative and impactful campaigns.
The Role
This is a newly created role for the agency, where you will join a small but busy and highly creative team working across some fantastic brands and briefs. You’ll be leading clients on their social and content strategy, shaping how they show up on social, and working with creatives and clients to deliver campaigns that perform. You’ll turn strategy into clear direction for both organic and paid social, influencer, UGC and PR, through to getting hands on with copy and content, and using data to understand what’s working, what isn’t and more importantly what to do differently in future. This is a great opportunity to work with ambitious consumer brands and be hands on delivering high quality ideas.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

You
- You should have a minimum of 5+ years in social or content strategy.
- Agency experience is preferred but in-house experience working at pace and across multiple brands is considered too.
- You should have a track record of delivering social strategies that have delivered results, we’re looking for performance stats, so it goes without saying you’ll be strong with data, not just reporting but understanding and connecting the dots.
- A really strong appreciation of what makes great creative and how social forms part of wider creative campaigns, as well as at times, social-first ideas.
- You’ll also need some experience with paid social and an understanding of how it best works alongside organic.
- You'll be working across a handful of clients at once, so being able to juggle different brands and audiences is important, and you should be comfortable moving between strategic thinking and execution.
- This is a new role that you can mould and develop as you and the agency grows.
