Job description

Social Media Manager

Department: Together Agency

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: Together Agency - Nottingham

Reporting To: Kyle Kirkland

Description

We’re looking for a Social Media Manager who lives and breathes social. Someone who is equally comfortable owning client relationships, leading social strategy, and creating scroll-stopping content – particularly short-form video.

This role is perfect for a self-starter with agency experience who thrives on autonomy, takes pride in their work, and wants real ownership of accounts. You’ll manage the full social media journey: from insight and strategy, through creative execution, to performance analysis and optimisation.

If you’re a TikTok-native, confident on camera, obsessed with trends, and able to turn cultural moments into genuinely funny, watchable content – we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Client & Account Leadership

• Build trusted, confident relationships with clients and stakeholders
• Present ideas, strategies and performance updates clearly and persuasively
• Proactively spot opportunities for clients to show up better on social

Social Strategy & Planning

• Develop channel-specific social media strategies aligned to brand and business objectives
• Use insights, trends and platform behaviour to inform creative and strategic decisions
• Own content calendars and ensure plans are delivered on time and to a high standard

Content Creation (Short-Form First)

• Ideate, create and deliver engaging social-first content, with a strong focus on TikTok and Instagram Reels
• Script, shoot and edit short-form video content that is entertaining, native and watchable
• Confidently feature in content where required – talking to camera is a must
• Work closely with designers and creatives to bring ideas to life

Trend & Culture-Led Content

• Keep your finger firmly on the pulse of trends, memes, sounds and current affairs
• React quickly and creatively to cultural moments in a way that feels on-brand
• Bring personality, wit and humour to content – without forcing it

Community & Campaign Management

• Oversee community management, ensuring timely and on-brand responses
• Support the delivery of social campaigns, working alongside performance and wider agency teams
• Ensure all content and campaigns meet brand, platform and client standards

Reporting & Optimisation

• Track performance and analyse what’s working (and what isn’t)
• Produce clear, insightful reports with actionable recommendations
• Continuously optimise content and strategy based on data and platform learnings

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

• Proven experience in social media management, ideally within an agency environment
• A true short-form video native – you understand what performs and why
• Confident and natural presenting to camera
• Strong strategic thinking paired with hands‑on creative execution
• Excellent client communication and relationship‑building skills
• Highly organised, proactive and comfortable managing multiple accounts
• A sharp eye for trends, culture and timely content opportunities
• Experience using social, editing and reporting tools (e.g. TikTok, Instagram, CapCut, Adobe, Canva, analytics platforms)

Job Benefits

Why join us

• Real autonomy and ownership over your work
• A collaborative, ambitious agency environment
• Space to shape strategy, push creativity and grow your career
• Clients who want to do bold, social-first work
