About you!

You will have around 5 years' experience working in a social media engagement role and have a deep understanding of tone, etiquette and audience of each social media platform. You know how to present complex information in simple and attention-grabbing ways to engage our audience and you love tracking the reach of your efforts.

You are a content creation magician, with a strong portfolio of work to show for your experience. You’re ‘punny’ and confident in using appropriate humour to get your point across, quickly pulling together content that will get positive attention.

Part of this will involve managing our social media voice, and mitigating risk when it comes to breaking news or those stickier, more controversial topics so of course, you’ll have a wide interest in current affairs and an understanding of the news cycle.

Above all, you’ll need to show initiative, creativity, and originality. Show us what you’ve got by sending in a Video Application!
