*On-Location & Campaign Coverage: Attend events, shoots, and brand activations to capture real-time content and support creator/influencer partnerships.
*Performance Tracking: Monitor social metrics and platform analytics to evaluate performance, optimize future content, and refine creative approach.

Requirements:

*Experience: 1–2+ years in dedicated social media management or content creation, backed by a strong portfolio or examples of past work.
*Technical Skills: Hands-on experience shooting and editing short-form video and photography independently using modern mobile editing tools or software.
*Platform & Trend Expertise: Deep understanding of user behaviour across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube, alongside a natural instinct for digital culture.

*Mindset & Organization: Highly organized with the ability to manage structured content calendars while remaining agile for reactive trend opportunities.
*Flexibility: Full UK driving licence preferred, with flexibility to travel for shoots, events, and brand activations as needed.
