Social Media Specialist

Overview

• We’re not looking for a unicorn or for the “top 1%” and we’re not going to ask you to be a social media strategist, videographer, copywriter, graphic designer, community manager, and paid media buyer all rolled into one underpaid human.
• We’re looking for a real person who genuinely loves social media.
• Who we Are
• Comms& is a boutique communication and marketing consultancy.
• We work with brands that have something worth saying, and we help them say it well.
• We’re a small, sharp team, which means your work won’t disappear into a 30-slide deck nobody reads.
• What you'll actually do
• You’ll own the social media presence for a portfolio of clients: planning, creating, scheduling, publishing, and reporting on content across platforms.
• Some days that’s writing captions that stop the scroll.
• Other days it’s pulling insights from analytics and figuring out what worked and why.
• You’ll collaborate closely with our strategists, and clients to make sure every post has a purpose beyond “we haven’t posted in a while.”
• Day to day, that looks like:
• Developing and managing social media content calendars across platforms (LinkedIn, Substack, X, Instagram, and whatever launches next week)
• Writing copy that sounds like a human wrote it, because one did
• Collaborating with designers on visuals that match the brief
• Community management: responding, engaging, and knowing when a comment needs a reply versus when it needs escalation
• Tracking performance, pulling reports, and translating numbers into real insights
• Contributing ideas to campaigns and strategies. Your perspective matters here
• Who you are
• You have 2 to 5 years of experience in social media management.
• Agency, in-house, or freelance.
• You
• understand the difference between a post and a strategy, and you care about both
• You write well. Not “award-winning novelist” well and no AI slop. Clear, sharp, on-brand, and using AI to enable you and help with structuring
• You’re organised enough to juggle multiple clients and deadlines without things falling through the cracks
• You’re comfortable with analytics tools and reporting, and while you'll be assisted with an AI analytics tool, you'll need to scrutinize the insights and provide actionable recommendations
• You’re curious: algorithms change, platforms shift, and you keep up because you’re genuinely interested
• You can take feedback without taking it personally, and give it without making it weird
• What we're not asking for
• A personal following of +50k
• Expertise in every single platform ever created
• The ability to thrive in chaos, we prefer to just not have chaos
• What you'll get
• A team that respects your time, your ideas, and your weekends
• The kind of variety that comes with consultancy life: different brands, different industries, different challenges
• Room to grow into the specialist or strategist you want to become
• A workplace where “boutique” means you’re known by your name, not your employee number
• Sound like you?
• We’d love to hear from you, apply with your CV and, if you have one, a portfolio, writing samples, or even a link to an account you’ve managed that you’re proud of.
• No cover letter required, but if you want to tell us why this caught your eye, we’re all ears.
