This is a Social Media Account Manager position at a brand consultancy that has spent over 25 years working at board level - the kind of firm that takes brands through growth and all the way to exit. 

Social sits inside that world, not in a standalone function measured by posting quotas. On the most important accounts, the digital work is kept in-house precisely because it's tied to strategy. You'll learn how to build brands, not just operate tactically.

The Role
You'll own the day-to-day running of a portfolio of client accounts across organic, paid and influencer social, with support from a Social Media Director. You'll be the primary client contact - managing relationships in person and online, presenting campaigns, and holding social accountable to real business objectives rather than volume.

Practically, that means running paid campaigns across Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager and TikTok Ads Manager; briefing creative and studio teams; overseeing influencer collaborations from research to fulfilment; and producing monthly performance reports with clear recommendations. The difference here is where the thinking happens: you'll work alongside strategists, identify where accounts can go further, and shape client direction rather than only deliver against it. The digital function is expanding, so there's plenty of room to grow with it.

The Package
£30,000 - £35,000
Hybrid working
Enhanced pension
25 days holiday (+ bank holidays)
Regular company socials
Learning and development opportunities

The Person
You have around three years or more in a client-facing social role, most likely at an agency, running activity across several accounts. You're confident with organic, paid and influencer work, and you already own client relationships, present plans and brief creative teams. 

Ideally, you're at a good agency but frustrated by thin strategy and limited access to clients' senior people, so you’re more than ready to move toward brand-led thinking. A full driving licence and access to a car would be beneficial as there are regular on-site photoshoots.
