About The Role

It needs somebody that can see the bigger picture and craft a compelling narrative internally and with the client, but that can also go deep – handling several fiddley tasks, as is often the case with social.

What You’ll Do

  • Be the first point of contract for the in-market client, as well as regional social colleagues. They will need client handling skills, as well as being a convincing expert when it comes to social & influence
  • While strategy teammates are there for a lot of the strategy tasks, this person will be required to strategize – especially in later stages of the process when things need to be decided on the fly
  • Having a point of view on social creative, including a strong sense of what is good social that makes the most of recent cultural trends and platform features
  • Managing the team’s operations and finances, ensuring that work is delivered on time and according to a scope
  • While not part of the immediate scope, influencer will be added to the responsibilities. Some experience and understanding of this space is needed.
  • Understand the intricacies of social listening and community management and guide junior team members in delivery of these tasks
  • Have a strong understanding of brands – how big ideas and distinctive brand assets work and are critical for building a social brand
  • Be responsible for a team of ~3-4

What You’ll Need

  • 7+ years of working experience in multiple markets
  • Preferably with agency experience.
  • Respectful but provocative attitude, capable of pushing thinking, but understanding when to dock the boat.
  • Must be able to maintain composure in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
  • Proven successful collaboration with creative leaders and complex teams.
  • Proven thought-leader and passion for the social, influence, and community engagement.
  • Experience of running a modern department (borderless) of ‘social-first’ thinkers and of a similar size is essential.
  • Proven confidence negotiating with and influencing peers and senior clients.
  • Hold the position of trusted partner and advocate to clients, providing advice and guidance.
  • Ability to work effectively, proactively, and seamlessly amongst an integrated agency team.
  • Interest, experience, and/or comfort level in working on a leading FMCG global brand.
  • True passion for food and beverage vertical.
  • Willingness to learn, explore, and reinvent.
  • Proactive and a self-starter
