An exciting opportunity for a talented Social Media Manager to take ownership of the UK social presence for an emerging global automotive brand.

This is a highly creative, hands-on role for someone who understands how to make a brand relevant, recognisable and talked about across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and emerging platforms.

You’ll combine strategy with execution, creating engaging social-first content, developing creator partnerships and building communities while supporting brand awareness, vehicle consideration and lead generation.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for:

• Developing and delivering the UK social media strategy
  
• Managing day-to-day activity across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook
  
• Creating engaging short-form video, Reels, Stories, Shorts and campaign content
  
• Spotting cultural trends and turning them into relevant brand opportunities
  
• Developing social campaigns around new vehicle launches, events and partnerships
  
• Managing influencers, creators, social agencies and production partners
  
• Capturing and producing reactive content when speed and authenticity matter
  
• Building and engaging online communities
  
• Working closely with Brand, Digital, PR, Product, Retail and Events
  
• Using performance data to continually optimise content and campaigns
  
• Connecting social activity with website traffic, leads and wider commercial objectives
  
• Managing social and creator budgets, ensuring strong value and ROI
  

Requirements

About You

We’re looking for someone with:

• 5+ years’ experience in social media, content or digital marketing
  
• Strong hands-on knowledge of TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook
  
• Excellent understanding of short-form video and social-first content
  
• Strong creative judgement and an instinct for what works on social
  
• Experience managing creators, influencers and agencies
  
• Excellent copywriting and communication skills
  
• Confidence interpreting social performance and audience data
  
• The ability to manage multiple campaigns and launches at pace
  
• A willingness to travel to shoots, vehicle launches, retailers and events
  

Automotive experience is strongly preferred, although exceptional candidates from technology, gaming, entertainment, fashion, sport, consumer electronics or other fast-moving consumer brands will also be considered.

Benefits

The Opportunity

This is a chance to help shape the social personality of an emerging automotive brand in the UK, rather than simply manage an established corporate feed.
