Content Manager

Because we’re looking for someone who understands platforms, spots trends before everyone else and knows how to turn an idea into content people actually want to watch. We’re looking for a Content Manager to join the team at Jam.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply shoots and edits content.

We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes social media. Someone who understands platforms, audiences, algorithms and performance. Someone who can take an idea from concept to content – and then explain exactly why it worked.

You’ll play a key role in shaping content across a diverse portfolio of clients spanning:

Working alongside our Social Media Account Director, you’ll help transform strategy into content that captures attention, drives engagement and delivers results.

One day you might be storyboarding a content shoot for a luxury resort. The next you could be creating a reactive Linked In campaign for a financial services client. No two days are the same.

• Developing content ideas, concepts and campaigns
• Contributing to content calendars and planning
• Writing scripts, captions, hooks and social copy
• Leading and directing content shoots
• Capturing social-first video content
• Editing content for Tik Tok, Instagram, Linked In and You Tube
• Creating motion graphics and animations
• Monitoring content performance and reporting on results
• Identifying trends, opportunities and reactive content moments
• Advising clients on what content works and why

Most importantly, you’ll help create content that performs – not simply content that exists.

You’ll probably have agency experience and a strong portfolio of social-first content.

You’ll be comfortable with:

• After Effects
• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• Figma
• Cap Cut
• Audience behaviour
• Platform trends
• Reporting and analytics
• Motion graphics
• Social copywriting

And you’ll be someone who takes initiative, brings ideas to the table and isn’t afraid to challenge thinking when there’s a better way.

“One of the best parts of working at Jam is how naturally we collaborate across teams. Whether it’s a big award winning campaign, standout social ideas, or an event, there’s a real sense of care and support throughout the team.”

Jam is an integrated communications agency combining PR, social media, digital PR, creative, paid media, brand and web.

We’re proud to work with ambitious clients across a range of sectors, delivering strategically smart, creatively ambitious and commercially effective work.

Most importantly, we’re a team of humble, hungry and smart people who genuinely enjoy what we do and who we do it with.

• Dog-friendly office
• Regular socials – team days and nights out
• Genuine progression opportunities
• Supportive and collaborative team culture
• Exciting clients and varied projects

If you’re obsessed with content, excited by social media and want to help shape the future of content at Jam, we’d love to hear from you.
