The Opportunity

Are you obsessed with music culture and the internet?

Do you instinctively know what’s trending before everyone else does?

Are you as excited by a perfectly timed meme or TikTok as you are by bigger creative ideas?

We’re looking for a Social Media Manager to join our team supporting a major entertainment account across music and podcasts.

This is a hands-on role for someone deeply immersed in social culture, from TikTok trends and creator communities to fan discourse, Reddit threads, Discord servers and the conversations shaping music and entertainment online. You’ll know how audiences behave across platforms, what makes content travel, and how brands can show up authentically in culture.

You’ll lead the day-to-day editorial output for social channels, working across ideation, content creation and publishing. From reactive memes and lo-fi social content to bigger campaign concepts, you’ll help create work that audiences genuinely want to engage with.

We’re looking for someone highly creative but equally organised, able to move at the pace of social media while maintaining a strong eye for detail.

This is a hybrid role where you are required to attend our London office 3 days a week (Tuesday-Thursday)
