The Animal People are partnering again with one of our favourite clients on a Social Media Executive opportunity within a fast-growing consumer pet brand.
This is not a standard social media role.
This is a hands-on social media and content creation position where you will be creating, filming and shaping content for a brand that is growing quickly and investing heavily in digital and social channels.
The role has been created due to internal promotion, which reflects the opportunity for growth within the business.

- Supporting weekly marketing campaigns across social and ecommerce
- Working closely with design, ecommerce and customer teams

- Strong writing skills and a good instinct for what works online
