Social Strategist

A leading creative agency is looking for a Social Strategist to shape, define, and deliver best-in-class social strategies for global brands. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who lives and breathes culture, platforms, and audience behaviour — and knows how to turn insight into impactful creative and community-led campaigns.

You’ll join a collaborative, tight-knit strategy team where social sits at the heart of the work — driving ideas, not following them. You’ll work across major brands, helping to build relevance, engagement, and fame through social-first thinking.

This is a full-time hybrid role based in London, offering strategic influence, creative collaboration, and the opportunity to work on some exciting brands in the world.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deliver social-first strategies that inspire creative teams and drive measurable impact.
• Analyse platform trends, audience behaviours, and cultural moments to uncover strategic opportunities.
• Partner closely with creatives to ensure ideas are rooted in insight, platform thinking, and social craft.
• Collaborate with clients to define social brand positioning, tone of voice, and content strategy.
• Provide thought leadership on emerging platforms, creator economy shifts, and cultural trends.
• Build frameworks for organic and paid social, balancing storytelling and performance.
• Work with data and analytics teams to evaluate campaign performance and optimise future work.
• Present ideas confidently to clients and internal stakeholders.

Skills & Experience

• Proven experience in social strategy ideally in a creative or social-first agency.
• Deep understanding of platform ecosystems, audience segmentation, and cultural insight.
• Strong strategic thinking — able to turn data and trends into actionable creative direction.
• Familiar with social analytics, reporting tools, and performance metrics.
• Confident collaborator who can bridge creative and strategy teams seamlessly.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, both written and verbal.
• Passionate about social culture, communities, and creators — from TikTok to Twitch.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive salary: £60K - £65K, depending on experience and level.
• Opportunity to work with global brands
• Genuine creative partnership — shaping ideas from the ground up.
• Quarterly reviews and 360 feedback, with flexible salary progression.
• Hybrid working — London-based with flexibility to work from home 2-3 days per week.
• Join a tight-knit, strategy-led team where collaboration, curiosity, and culture come first.

Location & Workplace Policy

• Based in London with hybrid working.
• Permanent, full-time role.
