Junior Social Media Manager

Role overview

This opportunity is for a junior social media manager based in Nottingham to help run the founder’s everyday content workflow. The position sits within a fast-growing media and technology group and involves close collaboration with the founder and the wider social content team. The role includes capturing content on location, helping keep publishing organised, engaging with the audience, and producing straightforward design assets when required.

About the business

The hiring team is building a new media and technology company around a founder who previously created and scaled a software business from scratch to more than £50 million in total revenue. That company grew through a mix of content, paid media investment and community-building before being sold in 2024 for an eight-figure amount. Since then, the founder has focused on developing a personal brand and a wider set of businesses, including a creator-focused SaaS platform, a co-working and creator accelerator community, a YouTube and podcast content operation, an upcoming book, and online courses. The business is still at an early stage, but it already has a large and highly engaged audience and ambitious plans for further growth.
