Role: Social Media Manager

Location: London, United Kingdom

OLIVER is growing. As we expand our global network and bring new accounts into the fold, we're building a pipeline of experienced Social Media Managers ahead of confirmed opportunities in London.

This isn't a live vacancy. It's an invitation to start a conversation — so that when the right role opens, we can move quickly with people we've already connected with.

If you're an experienced Social Media Manager open to hearing what's coming, we'd like to meet you.

WHAT THE ROLES LOOK LIKE

Upcoming opportunities will be based in London on a hybrid working pattern (2–3 days per week in our London offices), embedded within OLIVER's in-house studios working across new FMCG brand accounts.

These are execution-critical roles at the heart of high-volume social studios. You'll own how a brand shows up day-to-day on social — managing publishing calendars, optimising content for platform performance, and feeding insight back into the team to drive continuous improvement.

The role bridges strategy (what the brand should do), content (what gets created), and data (what's working). Success looks like content that lands correctly every time, performance that improves week on week, and a team that has clear, actionable insight to work with.

We support flexible working and are open to different arrangements. We offer reasonable adjustments throughout the process.

Publishing and Platform Management

Own scheduling and publishing across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts

Ensure all content is posted on time, correctly formatted per platform, and aligned with channel strategy

Provide clear, actionable feedback to Content Creators, Strategists, and the Social Creator Lead

Identify what to scale, what to optimise, and what to stop — and communicate findings clearly

Multi-Market Coordination

Support publishing and optimisation across markets, ensuring local adaptations are correctly implemented and market-specific best practices are applied

Cross-Team Collaboration

Work closely with Social Strategists, Content Creators, Designers, Data Analysts, and Account Managers to keep what is planned, produced, and published in alignment

Maintain clear communication on timelines, asset readiness, and platform requirements

Able to translate data into clear, actionable feedback for creative and strategy teams

Strong coordination skills with experience working across creative, strategy, data, and client teams

Experience supporting project-level budget tracking and financial administration, including purchase orders and invoice processing

Gen AI & Agentic Thinking

Proficiency with Gen AI tools relevant to social media management — including tools that support publishing workflows, caption and copy generation, content variation, and performance analysis

Experience building personal AI-assisted workflows to improve efficiency and reduce manual workload

Nice to have
