Paid Social Media Executive

We are SMRS. A global brand, culture and communications business that believes opportunity should be open to all. 

We open doors for people, ideas and organisations ready to change for the better. We think bigger to challenge assumptions and explore new ideas. We give a damn about the work we do and the impact it makes. And we add colour to every project with our personalities and our collective thinking.

 We’re also committed to creating a positive impact. From sustainability to social purpose, you’ll be part of a company that values diversity, champions inclusion and supports the world we’re helping to shape.

We develop paid social media campaigns that connect with people and spark positive action in the UK and around the world. You’ll make sure they deliver real impact by:

• Contributing to everything from generating ideas and developing content to activation, measurement and optimisation 
• Understanding your clients and their brand guidelines
• Producing regular reports and analysis
• Becoming a main source of knowledge on a dedicated social channel
• Carrying out social listening
• Following and sharing best practices.

To make an impression, you’ll need to combine a passion for social with experience in setting up, optimising and running paid campaigns across all social channels. A broad knowledge of social channels is important too, as is a solid understanding of employer, education and youth marketing. Things move quickly here, so you’ll also need an adaptable and proactive approach to your work.

What you’ll get   

If you’re ready to secure your future in a positive, supportive environment, you’ll also enjoy fantastic benefits that include:  

• 30 days’ annual leave (plus bank holidays) 
• Flexible working options, including part-time. 
• Life insurance 
• Enhanced maternity/paternity policies 
• Wellbeing support, including access to healthcare apps and services
