Freelance Social Media & Marketing Executive (Part-Time)

Overview

This is a part-time freelance retainer opportunity with a monthly fee of £1,500. It is an ongoing partnership rather than a permanent employee role.

The business behind the role is New Wave Snacks, the team developing the Me+ and Bliss brands. The company is a small but expanding FMCG brand owner with plans to grow across retail, licensing and brand development.

The team is seeking a self-starting, well-organised social media and marketing professional who can become a true extension of the in-house team. The role centres on building brand visibility, deepening community engagement and turning campaign ideas into practical activity.

This position offers close collaboration with a small team, meaningful ownership, and the chance to directly influence brand growth.

Role focus

The main priority is to support awareness-building for Me+ through social media activity, creative marketing campaigns and brand activations, with occasional involvement in Bliss-related projects.

Working with the Brand & Creative Lead and the Director, you will help move projects from concept to execution, including content creation, creator partnerships, product launches, competitions and broader marketing activity.

Key work areas

• Develop, plan and publish engaging content across social channels.
• Help shape and deliver creative marketing campaigns.
• Build connections with creators and influencers, including gifting products and encouraging user-generated content.
• Coordinate competitions, sampling activity and promotional initiatives.
• Spot partnership and collaboration opportunities for the brand.
• Track campaign results, share findings and suggest ways to improve performance.
• Research customer trends, competitors and new marketing opportunities.
• Bring forward ideas that increase awareness, engagement and product trial.
• Support wider marketing activity and new product launches as the brands scale.

About the working style

No two weeks will look the same, as priorities will shift based on launches, campaigns and business needs. The role suits someone who enjoys variety, can switch between creative content work and campaign coordination, and likes working closely with a small collaborative team.

Candidate profile

You should be proactive, organised and comfortable getting things done without heavy direction. A strong interest in social content, campaign delivery and brand building is important.

Application requirements

Applicants are expected to send a CV, links to social media profiles or brand/campaign work, a few content samples, and a short note explaining why they are a strong match.

Location and eligibility

The work is remote within the UK only. Glasgow is preferred for occasional content shoots and meetings. Only freelancers currently based in the UK will be considered.

Working arrangement

This is a fully remote role with a flexible schedule and long-term freelance collaboration.

What’s on offer

• Remote working from anywhere in the UK.
• Flexible working pattern.
• Long-term freelance partnership.
• Creative freedom and room to contribute original ideas.
• A chance to grow alongside an ambitious FMCG business.
