Ready to use your passion for social media to make a meaningful impact?
You may be a super-knowledgeable Social Media & Content Manager...or perhaps you’re an Account Manager (or a Senior Account Exec) already developing social content, who loves everything social and is ready for a step up to own this space!
At SBW, we’re ‘For the Good Stuff.’ We create campaigns that spark positive change, inspire action, and make a difference—whether it’s tackling climate change, supporting parents, or empowering businesses. Now, we’re looking for a dynamic, strategic, and creative Social Media & Content Manager to join our growing team.

Your role
You’ll develop and execute social media strategies and plans that deliver results for our clients. You’ll be managing channels, producing stand-out content, and analysing performance to keep our campaigns ahead of the curve. With strong understanding of social media trends, you will have exceptional copywriting skills (and if you have a good awareness of SEO, even better!).
Here’s what you’ll bring:
• Social content strategy and planning: developing social strategies and plans that hit objectives and successfully engage with audiences.
• Creation of engaging content: writing, crafting, and curating social and blog posts that captivate, engage, inspire and convert.
• Social platform expertise: staying on top of trends and exploring new platforms, sharing insights with clients on how to improve their social media engagement.
• Performance analytics: tracking KPIs, generating insights, and continuously refining approaches to maximise engagement and ROI.
• Community engagement: identifying and building strong online communities and fostering relationships with influencers and advocates.
• Collaboration: working closely with our creative team to produce engaging, stand-out dynamic content that resonates with our audiences, driving interaction and shares.
We’re looking for someone with the following skills and experience:
• 2+ years of agency-side experience with proven experience of planning and delivering social media content.
• A deep interest and understanding of platform trends.
• Exceptional copywriting skills (a good grasp of SEO and web traffic metrics would be highly desirable).
• Ideally you will be proficient in social media monitoring tools and using insights to drive success.
• Strong budget management, ensuring account profitability while delivering value to clients.
• Outstanding client management skills with a knack for spotting opportunities to add value.
What you’ll get
We know that great work starts with a great team, so we go above and beyond to support you.
• Competitive salary: reflective of your experience and expertise.
• Profit share bonuses: twice a year, up to 10% of salary (last year, we all earned this extra boost!).
• Hybrid working: a mix of office (Mondays, Wednesday and Thursdays) and working from home days (Tuesdays and Fridays). We also offer 5x days' ‘work from anywhere’ allowance.
• Professional growth: access to uncapped learning, training, and career development opportunities.
• Exclusive perks: extra birthday holiday, charitable work allowance, and travel schemes.
• Long-term rewards: after one year, join our Employee Ownership Trust, earning up to £3,600 annually—tax-free!
