• Manage the global social media content calendar and ensure activity is aligned to wider brand and business priorities. 
• Monitor, analyse and report on channel performance, identifying opportunities for continuous improvement. 
• Stay ahead of platform developments, content trends and industry best practice to ensure our social media activity remains relevant and effective. 
• Act as the social media subject matter expert, influencing stakeholders across the business and providing strategic guidance on how organic social media can support brand and commercial objectives.

The Ideal Candidate

• Proven experience developing and delivering successful organic social media strategies.
• Strong understanding of audience growth, engagement and community building across social platforms.
• Experience planning, creating and delivering content that drives measurable results.
• Excellent knowledge of social media platforms, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn data and insights into actionable recommendations.
• Experience working with multiple stakeholders and influencing at all levels of an organisation.
• A creative mindset, strategic outlook and passion for social media innovation.
• A proactive and self-motivated approach, with the confidence to challenge thinking, identify opportunities and bring new ideas to the table.
