  • Provide clear direction across formats and briefs, ensuring all work is platform-native, on-brand, and ready to publish
  • Review content before delivery, giving clear and actionable feedback on craft and execution
  • Lead by example — creating short-form video, static, and motion content yourself where needed
  • Demonstrate best practice across formats, platforms, and production approaches
  • Ensure all content is optimised for platform performance before it goes out
  • Develop modular content approaches — templates, variants, and localisation-ready assets — that enable consistent, high-volume output across markets
  • Document workflows and production processes that support efficiency and quality at scale
  • Guide how content is adapted and localised across markets (including UK and France), balancing global brand consistency with local cultural relevance
  • Establish clear standards for versioning, localisation, and platform nuance across the team
  • Lead and mentor Content Creators, supporting development in craft, execution, and working method
  • Give clear, consistent feedback and direction on complex briefs
  • Build a culture of continuous improvement and high creative standards within the team
  • Partner with Social Strategists on briefing and creative direction; with Social Media Managers on publishing and optimisation; and with Data Analysts on performance insight
  • Ensure content reflects both strategic intent and performance learnings, and that delivery timelines are met
  • Use platform and campaign data to refine content formats, improve execution, and guide decisions on what to scale, adapt, or stop
  • Embed a test-and-learn approach across the team's creative practice
  • Support collaboration with external creators, influencers, and production partners — ensuring content is authentic, rights-cleared, and aligned to brand and strategy
  • Manage workstream-level production budgets, source suppliers, negotiate rates, and identify cost efficiencies without compromising quality

Requirements

  • Strong creative concepting ability, with hands-on experience delivering short-form video, static, and motion content for social
  • Advanced knowledge of platform best practices across major social channels, and what drives engagement on each
  • Proficiency with tools including Adobe Suite, CapCut, Canva, Figma, or equivalent
  • Proven experience leading or mentoring content teams, with the ability to give clear, constructive feedback and drive consistent output quality
  • Comfortable working across Strategy, Data, and Client teams — translating briefs and insight into high-quality creative execution
  • Experience collaborating with external creators, influencers, and production partners
  • Experience managing workstream-level production budgets, with confidence negotiating supplier rates and driving cost efficiency without compromising quality
  • Background in social content creation for consumer brands, with FMCG experience an advantage

  • Demonstrated ability to set quality benchmarks for AI-assisted creative output and apply rigorous human oversight
