Social Media and Content Executive

Social Media and Content Executive
Burton Upon Trent
Hybrid working (3 days in-office, 2 from home)
£30,000 - £35,000

Are you a social media and content pro who''s full of ideas and ready to take ownership of exciting campaigns? Do you thrive when you can lead from the front, rather than wait for a brief to land in your inbox?

SF Recruitment are looking for a Social Media and Content Executive to join a well-established, creative in-house marketing team working across a group of diverse businesses - from service-based brands to more commercial, product-driven sectors. This is not your average content role. You''ll be hands-on with the day-to-day creation and scheduling of social and digital content across multiple brands - but more importantly, you''ll be the ideas person. You''ll have the autonomy to drive content forward across a range of sectors, while working with a team that values initiative, creativity, and commercial thinking.

What You''ll Be Doing:

• Own and execute the content strategy for multiple brands within the group
• Create scroll-stopping posts for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X
• Produce high-quality visuals, reels, short-form video, and other digital assets
• Write and edit compelling copy across social, web and email
• Plan, schedule and manage content calendars in line with campaign goals
• Keep an eye on trends and new features to keep content relevant and engaging
• Collaborate with internal teams (and occasionally external partners) to get campaigns over the line
• Be confident enough to push content ideas forward, even when others aren''t proactively feeding them to you
• Monitor performance using analytics tools to track ROI and optimise content
• Regularly report on results and use insights to refine future campaigns
• Ensure content stays consistent in tone and quality across all brands

About the Role:
This role sits within the creative arm of a group of businesses, providing all digital marketing support - from social media to website design. While the team also supports external clients and brings in commercial revenue, your focus will be on the internal group brands. It''s a great opportunity if you want to grow your experience working across multiple sectors - especially if you''ve worked in or are familiar with product-led industries like commercial vehicles, manufacturing, or similar.

We''re Looking for Someone Who:

• Has proven experience in a social media or content marketing role (agency or in-house)
• Can confidently use tools like Canva, Meta Business Suite, Buffer/Hootsuite - Adobe Creative Suite is a bonus
• Knows how to create high-quality content independently - from concept to execution
• Has a strong understanding of digital trends, algorithms and audience behaviours
• Can manage their own workload, hit deadlines, and juggle multiple projects
• Is proactive, ideas-driven
• Has some exposure to or interest in commercial/industrial sectors

 What You''ll Get:

• Salary: £30,000 - £35,000 depending on experience
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the Burton office, 2 from home
• 25 days holiday + all bank holidays + your birthday off
• 9am - 5pm hours, Monday to Friday
• Creative freedom, variety, and autonomy in your work
• The chance to help shape the digital voice of a growing group of businesses

Ready to join a team that''s creative, ambitious, and always thinking one step ahead? Apply now and bring your ideas to life in a role where your voice truly matters.
