Social Strategist

We are SMRS. A global brand, culture and communications business that believes opportunity should be open to all.

We open doors. For people, for ideas and for organisations ready to change for the better. We think bigger to challenge assumptions and explore new ideas. We give a damn about the work we do and the impact it makes. And we add colour to every project with our personalities and our collective thinking.

We're also committed to creating a positive impact. From sustainability to social purpose, you'll be part of a company that values diversity, champions inclusion and supports the world we're helping to shape.

Joining our small but mighty social team, you'll blend hands‑on craft with confident thinking, as you lead end‑to‑end, paid‑first and organic social strategies across key flagship accounts. As comfortable doing the work as you are guiding senior stakeholders, you'll contribute to pitches and act as a thought leader, whose passion for spotting key social trends and opportunities will raise the standard of social‑first thinking across the agency.

You'll see the whole picture - connecting audiences, platforms, and creative opportunities to deliver measurable impact.

A creative thinker with a keen eye for detail, you'll ideally possess experience gained as a social media professional and knowledge of international social media channels and content. With an understanding of how to improve creative effectiveness and performance, you'll enjoy mentoring junior members of the team. If you love shaping how brands show up and get a buzz from translating insights into ideas that perform, you'll fit right in.

If you're ready to secure your future in a positive, supportive environment, you'll also enjoy fantastic benefits that include:

• A salary of £40,000 per annum
• 30 days' annual leave (plus bank holidays)
• Hybrid working (2 days each week in our Manchester, UK office is required)
• Life insurance
• Enhanced maternity/paternity policies
• Healthcare apps
• Training budget and internal coaching
• Paid volunteering days

We believe that a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace makes us a more relevant and resilient company. And we welcome people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, and experiences. So, if you're as passionate as we are about making a difference through marketing, join us and open the door to meaningful change.
