Social Media Executive
Permanent/full-time
Location: On-site, Bolton (BL1)
Salary: £22-24k base
The Role:
We are thrilled to be able to confirm that we are now seeking to appoint a Social Media Executive at the Klinsmann Partnership.
This is a brand new role which has been created in order to ensure that we are able to maximise our revenue generation/sales pipeline through all social media channels and activity.
Reporting to the Marketing Director, you will be working closely with other colleagues in our established wmarketing team, particularly our E-Commerce Executive and our visual content creation team, in order to further develop our social media efforts across the full range of TKPL’s brand portfolio.
You will need to be in touch with – and of course remain up to date with – any emerging social media trends, particularly those which directly affect the industry we operate in.
As you will be working across multiple brands simultaneously, you will most likely have a natural affinity for both multi-tasking and adapting your messaging/content according to different audiences’ requirements.
Your responsibilities will include activities such as the following:
* Develop and implement social media strategies for multiple brands, working closely with brand managers and other stakeholders
* Manage day-to-day content creation, scheduling, and monitoring for each brand’s social media accounts
* Track and analyse social media performance metrics, adjusting strategies to improve engagement and reach
* Engage with online communities and followers to foster brand loyalty and increase awareness
* Support sales objectives by creating campaigns and promotions aimed at driving online and offline sales
We are looking for candidates to have some experience/attributes in the following key areas:
* Ideally 2+ years’ experience in social media management and/or digital marketing (this could be either in a professional environment or a more personal setting e.g. a ‘side hustle’), but we are open to new graduates without this level of experience so long as their degree is from a relevant discipline (details below)
* Ideally you will have at least a bachelor’s degree (preferably in a relevant/relatable field such as Marketing or Communications), but we are more than happy to consider candidates without a degree provided that they have demonstrable experience in social media management from their prior/current roles in line with the above
* Experience with paid AND UNPAID social media advertising is critical, while experience managing age restricted social media content is a distinct advantage
* Experience in managing multiple brands simultaneously is a plus, but not essential provided that you are able to demonstrate/confident that you will be able to do so in this role
* Experience in eCommerce or retail industries is preferred, but not absolutely essential
* Experience in managing budgets for social media campaigns would also be beneficial
You will need the following skills in order to succeed in this role:
* Proficiency in social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn)
* Familiarity with social media management tools (e.g., Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social)
* Basic graphic design skills (e.g., Canva, Adobe Photoshop)
* Knowledge of analytics and insights tools (e.g., Google Analytics, social media insights) would be highly advantageous, but not essential
Benefits:
* 25 days’ holiday allowance per year (in addition to bank holidays)
* Smart-casual dress code (wear whatever you feel comfortable in)
* Diverse, international workforce
* Relaxed, low-pressure environment; but with a keen focus on delivery and achieving success
* Fun social events outside of work
* Modern, professional office in a convenient location in Bolton town centre with nearby public transport options/motorway access and free on-site car parking available
* We are very open to new ideas, so please feel free to suggest/request anything that we can do in order to make you more likely to perform at your maximum, and we will certainly do our best to implement it if it makes sense for everyone
