About the role

We’re looking for a culturally connected, idea-driven Social Creative who loves Instagram and TikTok trends, memes, and turning cultural moments into standout content. You’ll work across a mix of always-on, planned, and reactive content, leading creative thinking and collaborating with a close-knit team of content creators, strategists, and other creatives.

You’ll be focused primarily on an exciting FMCG client, helping to translate fast-moving consumer behaviour, cultural trends, and platform moments into sharp, smart content that feels native to social and true to the brand. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves the buzz and creativity of social and who knows how to turn community behaviour or trending sounds into content that an FMCG brand can truly own.

Key Responsibilities

- Leading creative thinking for always-on, planned and reactive social content across TikTok, Instagram and the wider social eco-system.

- Coming up with scroll-stopping concepts, from evergreen to reactive and owning them through from idea to execution.

- Writing sharp, on-brand copy and short-form scripts that match the energy of each platform and speak directly to the audience.

- Working closely with content creators, creatives and strategists to bring your ideas to life in lo-fi, high-impact ways.

- Spotting cultural moments, trends and conversations and finding smart ways for brands to join in.

- Supporting junior creatives and community managers by giving creative direction, feedback, and platform insight.

- Overseeing the creative side of community management, reviewing tone of voice, replies and quick-turnaround content based on conversations.

- Collaborating with the wider team to turn social listening insights and community behaviour into content opportunities.

- Helping to build a team culture that’s curious, collaborative and plugged into the world.

- Staying up to date with evolving platform features, formats, and audience behaviours and using that knowledge to keep our ideas fresh and format-fit.

- Confidently presenting your ideas internally and to clients, making a strong case for brave and culturally relevant work.

What We’re Looking For:

- Passionate about social, brands, and storytelling with a proven eye for what makes people stop scrolling.

- Experienced in developing ideas across all major platforms, especially TikTok and Instagram Reels.

- Able to write compelling, on-brand copy and understand the nuances of tone, timing, and humour online.

- Naturally tuned into pop culture, creator behaviour and emerging trends, with a habit of spotting what’s next before it hits the mainstream.

- Comfortable leading ideas but also open to collaboration and feedback from across the team.

- Competent in strategic thinking, able to connect cultural insight, audience behaviour and brand objectives to shape smarter, more effective creative.

- Confident using AI tools to support ideation, research, content development and workflow efficiency, with a clear understanding of where AI enhances creativity (and where it shouldn’t).

- Happy working at pace, with the ability to prioritise and proactively identify workload needs.

- Skilled at managing creative work across different formats and platforms, knowing how to adapt ideas for each.
