We’re working with a growing fashion retailer looking for a Social Media Manager who loves creating content, from coming up with the initial idea through to filming, editing and getting it live.
With TikTok becoming an increasingly important part of the business, this is a great opportunity to join at an exciting stage and have a real influence over how its brands show up online.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of day-to-day social media content across several fashion accounts, including:
Planning and creating content for TikTok, Instagram and Facebook
Filming and editing short-form video content
Appearing confidently in content when needed
Organising and running regular product shoots
Creating content in the office, at retail locations and on location
Writing and sending customer email newsletters
Tracking performance and using it to shape future content
Keeping content moving without needing a daily brief
This is a busy content role, so you’ll need to enjoy creating at pace rather than spending a week perfecting one video.
About You
The client is open-minded about where you have gained your experience. You might currently work for a consumer brand, be an independent content creator or have successfully grown your own social channels.
What matters most is that you:
Can show engaging content you have filmed and edited yourself
Feel confident and natural in front of the camera
Understand TikTok and Instagram
Can plan and manage shoots independently
Are organised, self-sufficient and happy taking ownership
Enjoy working in a fast-moving, informal environment
Use social analytics to understand what is working
Fashion experience would be helpful, but it isn’t essential. Experience within lifestyle, beauty, food, hospitality or another consumer-led sector could work just as well.
Recruiter’s Thoughts
Harley, who is managing this role, says: “What stood out from our conversation with the client is that they are looking for someone creative, confident and happy to get stuck in. It’s a lively, informal environment where things move quickly, so it will suit someone who enjoys having freedom and taking ownership. For the right person, there is a real opportunity to make the role their own and have a visible impact on the growth of the brands.”
Why Apply?
You’ll have the freedom to try ideas, react quickly to trends and see the commercial impact of the content you create. You’ll also work closely with the people making decisions, rather than being several layers removed from the business.
As social media continues to grow in importance, there is plenty of scope to expand your role, develop your understanding of social commerce and take on more responsibility across the brands.
Please include examples of TikTok, Instagram or other short-form content you have personally created when applying.
Location
During probation, this role will be based full-time at the company’s Brentwood office, with some time spent on location for content shoots. After probation, the client is open to considering a hybrid working pattern. Candidates must therefore be able to commute to the Brentwood office five days a week. The office is commutable from areas including Brentwood, Basildon, Billericay, Chelmsford, Wickford, Rayleigh, Grays, Loughton, Epping, Chigwell, Hornchurch, Upminster, Dagenham, Ilford and wider East London.
