Senior Social Media Manager

About The Social Shepherd

We’re a fast-growth Social Media agency helping clients in eCommerce, FMCG, Retail, Hospitality & Travel to accelerate their business growth.

Having grown from 2 to 50+ in the past 3 years and the trajectory to become the largest independent social agency in the UK, we’re now looking to take on our next member of the flock to enhance our organic social team!

Some of our clients include Uniqlo, Premier Inn, easyJet Holidays, Bio Oil and many others!

First of all, here are some important things

???? Work From Home: we operate a hybrid model where you have time both in the office & at home. A lot of our team loves to be in the office, working collaboratively together, but also like the balance of being able to work from home a couple of days a week. This typically looks like 3 days in the office, and 2 days at home.

???? Office: Based in the heart of Bath City Centre, making it an easy place to commute to. 5min walk from Train & Bus station.

????️ Wellness Package: everyone in our team receives £30 per month towards anything that increases your overall wellness (think massage, yoga, guitar lessons, gym membership etc).

???? Flexible hours: some people are early birds, and others like to start later. We allow people to set their own times, with some people starting at 8am and getting to finish up earlier! We trust our team to get their work done on their schedule.

❤️ 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.

???? Quarterly Bonus: rewarding our team is something we love to do. Everyone who’s in the team enjoys quarterly bonuses based on business performance & growth!

What you’ll be doing as a Senior Social Media Manager at TSS

As a Senior Social Media Manager, you’ll lead our clients’ organic social strategy and lead a team of Social Media Executives and one other Manager and their pod.

This role will work closely with our Social Media Director to craft the direction of the department, with the goal of becoming a Social Media Director yourself within the next 6-12 months.

You’ll work on core social channels such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Pinterest.
