Social Media & Content Manager

Location: Cheshire - hybrid - (12 month FTC)

Salary: £37,000 - £43,000 per annum

I'm looking for a Social Media & Content Manager to take hands-on ownership of day-to-day social and content execution for a consumer-facing digital brand. This role sits at the centre of brand, content, and social delivery, acting as the internal guardian of tone, quality, and consistency across all organic output.

This is not a strategy or agency-management-only role. It's about owning execution, protecting the brand, and making sure what goes out into market is accurate, on-brand, and aligned to wider campaigns across email, app, PR, and website.

You'll work closely with internal stakeholders and external agency partners, taking responsibility for delivery while larger strategy and planning sits elsewhere.

Paid social & partnerships (supporting role)

Experience / What you bring

Hands-on experience managing organic social and content execution

Strong understanding of brand, tone of voice, and content governance

Confident producing short-form video and UGC-style content

Comfortable working with agencies while owning internal delivery
