❤️ We’re committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, or disability status. We want to support diverse and inclusive work environments and are actively looking for people who share our values.
???? Bonus: rewarding our team is something we love to do. Everyone who’s in the team enjoys quarterly bonuses based on business performance & growth!
The Role
We’re looking for a Social Media Director with a track record in developing organic social strategies for consumer-facing brands and with experience leading a team.
Our Organic Social department currently has 12 in the team, with another Social Media Director in place, but with big growth ambitions, we’re bringing another Social Media Director to lead other pods within the department.
What you’ll be doing…
- Social Strategy: You’ll lead the Organic Social Strategy for our clients across every major social platform. We’re looking for someone who knows the best practices, wants to innovate and isn’t afraid to test and learn to continue developing The Social Shepherd’s approach to organic social.
- Team Lead: You’ll lead a team of Social Media Managers and be there to support them across their clients to ensure both from a strategic, structural & management perspective. This will also include line managing those Social Media Managers, who will then lead a team of Social Media Executives. Including both managers and execs, your team will be 9 people at the peak.
- Client Comms: You’ll be our client’s core escalation point if something needs to be raised, and you’ll join our weekly status calls with clients from time to time.
- New Business: You’ll support the pitching process, helping to show how we’d approach that brand’s social strategy and being there at the pitch itself. There will be no outward-facing sales involved. All of our leads come inbound to us!
- Collaboration: As one of the leads in our Organic Social team, you’ll work closely with our Creative department who’ll be delivering all Reels, TikToks and social-first videos to you and the team.
- Eye For Detail: You’ll have high standards and want to push our team to do their very best. This will come with content approvals, how our team communicates with our clients and how we train our team.
Requirements
- You have 5+ years of experience in Social Media.
- You have experience in line managing a team and enjoy nurturing people’s growth.
- You want to innovate and push the boundaries of what’s possible on social, not always following best practices for the sake of it.
- You deeply understand social algorithms across TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter & Facebook.
- Experience with Influencer Marketing & Paid Social is beneficial but not required.
- You see yourself growing within a fast-growth agency full of passionate marketers.
- You are an enthusiastic & passionate person who genuinely cares about your work and wants to deliver the best video content you possibly can.
- You’re curious and adaptable: social media is a fast-moving industry with products changing and adapting weekly. You must be happy with keeping up to date with changes and learning about how they may impact our output.
