Social Media Executive - #2116321

Location: Birmingham (Hybrid - Tuesday to Thursday in the office)
Salary: £28,000 - £30,000 + Benefits
We're recruiting on behalf of an exciting consumer brand looking for a creative Social Media & Content Executive to join their growing marketing team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their marketing career, ideally in their second role, who lives and breathes social media. If you're confident creating engaging content, happy to get in front of the camera and know what makes people stop scrolling, we'd love to hear from you.
You'll have the opportunity to shape the brand's social presence, work with influencers and content creators, and support CRM campaigns that keep customers engaged.

Reporting into the Marketing team, you'll be responsible for creating authentic, engaging content that builds brand awareness and drives meaningful engagement across social channels.
This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same. One day you could be filming content for TikTok, the next building relationships with influencers or scheduling email campaigns.

• Plan, create and publish engaging social content across multiple platforms
• Confidently appear on camera to create authentic brand content
• Film and edit short-form video content for channels including Instagram and TikTok
• Develop content that builds engagement and strengthens the brand's online community
• Manage relationships with influencers and content creators from outreach through to campaign delivery
• Identify new partnership opportunities with creators that align with the brand
• Stay up to date with the latest social media trends and content formats
• Support the planning and scheduling of CRM and email campaigns using a third-party platform
• Monitor content performance and use insights to improve future campaigns
• Work closely with the wider marketing team to support campaigns and promotional activity

You'll be creative, personable and full of ideas, with a genuine passion for social media and content creation.
You'll ideally have:

• Around 1-3 years' experience in a social media, content or digital marketing role
• Experience creating engaging organic social content
• Confidence filming and presenting on camera
• Strong video editing skills using tools such as CapCut or similar
• Experience working with influencers or content creators
• Some exposure to CRM or email marketing
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive, organised approach and plenty of enthusiasm
• A portfolio showcasing your social media and content work

• £31,000-£32,000 salary
• Hybrid working (3 days in the Birmingham office)
• A varied role with real ownership and creative freedom
• Opportunity to work with influencer partnerships and exciting consumer campaigns
• Supportive team with plenty of scope for development

• Stage One: 30-minute Teams interview
• Stage Two: Face-to-face interview, including a portfolio review

This role would suit someone who's naturally outgoing, creative and excited by the opportunity to build engaging content that people genuinely want to watch and share.
