social management, influencer campaigns and content production
.
You'll sit at the heart of the business, partnering closely with our
General Manager and Creative Director

social, influencer and content production
Managing creative workflow and priorities so teams can deliver their best work at pace
Supporting resourcing and capacity planning (including freelance when needed)
Partnering with finance and client teams on scoping, delivery and forecasting

Experience in an
Operations, Traffic, Production or Project Management
role within a social, content, creative or production agency
Strong understanding of how agency teams work — and how to make them work better
A natural collaborator who can influence, guide and bring people along
Someone who is process‐driven, but flexible — structure without rigidity
Comfortable working at pace and juggling multiple prioritiesExperience with
