👥 Reports to: Account Director
🕓 Experience: 2-4 years in social media (agency or music-brand experience required)
About the Agency
A full-service social and creative agency working across music, culture, and entertainment, helping artists, brands, labels, and festivals grow loyal online communities through storytelling and culture-first creativity.
The team believes great social isn't about selling - it's about building genuine connections between fans and the brands they love.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Social Media Specialist to lead the day-to-day running of client accounts within a collaborative "pod" structure.
You'll manage client communication, oversee social specialists, and work closely with strategists and creatives to deliver engaging, high-impact social campaigns across some of the biggest names in music and culture.
This role blends hands-on content planning with client management, mentoring, and creative thinking - perfect for someone ready to take the next step towards leadership.
Key Responsibilities
Build and oversee weekly content calendars - curating or creating content and writing copy for key clients.
Lead day-to-day client management and communications.
Manage 1-2 Social Media Specialists, reviewing and approving their weekly output.
Oversee feedback and amends to ensure delivery excellence.
Coordinate with strategists and designers to brief and deliver creative assets.
Join client calls, summarise actions, and ensure smooth follow-up.
Spot and pitch reactive opportunities that fit client tone and strategy.
Maintain organisation and project management within your pod.
Analyse content performance and apply insights to future output.
Step in for the Account Director when needed.
About You
You'll thrive in this role if you:
Are immersed in music and cultural scenes - from artists and fan communities to events and trends.
Live and breathe social media, staying ahead of new features, platforms, and trends.
Are a confident communicator who builds strong client relationships.
Have strong project management and multitasking skills.
Are a creative thinker with sharp editorial instincts and copywriting ability.
Enjoy mentoring others and giving constructive feedback.
Stay calm under pressure, thrive in fast-paced environments, and deliver with precision.
Are fluent across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Threads, and tools like HeyOrca, Meta Suite, and Google Workspace.
Collaborate naturally across strategy, creative, and account management teams.
Progression
This role acts as a bridge to leadership - high performers can grow into Account Director or Head of Social positions as the agency expands.
