? Localising global social frameworks for a UK audience
? Building a test-and-learn culture across social activity
? Driving adoption of platform features to increase reach and engagement
? Ensuring social managers and content creators use insights to inform planning
? Acting as the go-to expert on social performance for internal stakeholders

What we're looking for:

? Experience managing and mentoring social or content teams
? Strong background in social analytics, reporting and performance measurement
? Deep understanding of TikTok, Meta and social best practice
? Ability to build strategy from data and audience insights
? Knowledge of paid social and its relationship with organic growth
? Experience within FMCG, consumer brands or social-first businesses preferred
