Location: Anywhere in the UK!
This role involves running Wow’s social media channels, and coordinating our content production.
You’ll be looking after LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok, plus contributing to overall strategy. Alongside the social media channels you will also ensure a quality, timely, and steady stream of content production through to our social media channels and our website. Our content spans video, a podcast, and blogs - you won’t be expected to produce all of these yourself (we work with outsourced agencies for that), but you will be coordinating the production of them among our internal team and suppliers.
We need somebody who lives and breathes social media - you are driven by the possibilities, new opportunities and love creating content for various platforms. In return, we will give you the freedom to try new creative ideas, lead on campaigns, and bring our brand to life. You also need to be able to project manage your workload well, planning in advance and ensuring you are delivering and completing on initiatives.
You’ll be a part of the Commercial team at Wow, and an integral part of our sales and marketing strategy. We see social media and content as being key to expressing our brand personality, showcasing our values, and celebrating our people - and we’re looking for somebody motivated, creative, and driven to take on this rewarding role. You’ll learn loads, work with brilliant people, and have a lot of fun along the way.
Our specialism is working with agencies and consultancies, so you’ll have come from an agency background (or have worked closely with an agency when in-house). You also don’t need a deep understanding of accounting practices (we’ll leave that to the accountants!) but the potential to understand technical and financial information is a must.
Here's how you'll make a big difference to Wow:
- Owning our social media channels, making sure we’re publishing high-quality content that attracts our ideal client. At the moment we use LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.
- You’ll enjoy making and sharing content that celebrates our people, showcases our expertise, educates our audience, and sets us apart from the competition - all while living and breathing our Wow values.
- Work alongside our Events and Digital Marketing Coordinator to drive attendance to events using social media and content.
- You’ll be able to project manage our content machine, making sure that a stream of quality content is produced in a timely manner - and be creative about how that content is shared on socials.
- Getting involved in paid social media advertising (we have an agency to run this for us, you’ll help with strategy here not execution).
- You’ll help to make sure our website is always up to date.
- You’ll help the internal teams with branded content and assets.
- Producing social media creative assets using Canva, CapCut, or similar.
- Driving key audience growth across social media.
- Getting involved in social media strategy, planning ahead, and contributing to overall goals.
- Analysing the user journey, from socials and content through to being a lead.
- Tracking KPIs and analysing performance.
- Liaising with our paid social media agency and contributing to paid social campaign planning.
To be successful in this varied role you will need the following:
- Excellent communication skills - you’ll be brilliant at talking to senior stakeholders and partners with clarity, plus be able to write and edit copy to a high standard.
- Experience in running social media campaigns on behalf of brands / clients.
- Knowledge of the content production process - you’ll know what it’s like to take a creative brief from start to finish, and to deadline.
- Highly organised - while we use project management tech to organise our workload, you’ll need to stay cool and calm in the sea of a lot of potential content to promote.
- Good generalist marketing skills - you know where social media sits in the marketing mix and can play to its strengths.
- An awareness of where social media could sit in the lead-generation process.
- The ability to look at performance data and make changes to your work based on analysis.
- Relevant agency insights or an agency background - you might not have been employed by an agency, but if you know the sector well that’s a great start.
- An ability to balance creative output with well-planned, meticulous delivery of campaigns and content.
Location and working hours
- The position is full-time - however, we are open to applicants who are seeking part-time (4-days a week)
- We promote flexible working around Wow’s core hours of 10am-4pm. There is no fixed start or end time each day.
- You'll be based in the UK, so you can join us for our quarterly team days and social events.
- Day-to-day, you get to choose where you work. All you need is your laptop (which we’ll provide) and the internet... and enough snacks to see you through the day!
Whilst you have the freedom of remote working, we don't want you to feel remote. Right from the start, you'll feel connected to the amazing Wow team through a series of online and in-person session that will help you build the relationships and get the support you need to thrive in your role.
