Social Media Manager – Fixed Term Contract

We’re looking for an organised, creative Social Media Manager to join Great State on a fixed-term contract basis until January 2027.

This role focuses on delivering and evolving social activity across a major client account, alongside helping manage Great State’s own social presence. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys turning strategy into great work day to day – planning content, collaborating with creatives, spotting opportunities and ensuring social channels consistently perform.

You’ll work closely with strategists, designers and content creators to produce social content that is relevant, engaging and aligned with wider campaign thinking. This is also a client-facing role, so you’ll be comfortable building strong working relationships with client counterparts and acting as a trusted day-to-day social partner.

What you’ll do

Deliver social programmes

Plan and manage monthly content calendars, publishing schedules and reporting across key platforms.

Create and coordinate content

Work with our Experience Team to produce engaging social content that brings campaigns and brand activity to life. This includes creating and shaping social assets such as Stories, in-feed posts, Reels and social-first video, alongside writing clear, engaging copy.

Optimise performance

Track results, analyse engagement and identify opportunities to improve content, formats and channel performance.

Stay culturally aware

Spot trends, platform updates and creator opportunities that could benefit the client.

Support agency marketing

Help manage and evolve Great State’s own social channels, showcasing our work, thinking and culture.

What we're looking for

• A social native who instinctively understands what effective social content looks like and how to create it
• Experience delivering social activity across a mix of platforms and formats
• Comfortable managing end-to-end social content creation, ideally with a strong portfolio to show
• Familiar with social tools used for analytics, reporting, scheduling and social listening
• Excellent written skills and attention to detail – you can write concisely and spot a typo a mile off
• A confident communicator, comfortable collaborating with internal teams and building strong relationships with client counterparts
• Curious about the wider social landscape and always learning from new trends, formats and ideas
• Organised and proactive, with the initiative to take ownership and get things done
• A collaborative team player who enjoys coordinating the workload of a content creator
• Comfortable managing priorities and meeting client and project deadlines

Experience working on a high-profile brand within an agency setting would be advantageous. If you enjoy making social ideas happen, not just talking about them, we’d love to hear from you.
