• Coordinate pre-, during-, and post-event content capture, working with creators and partners to ensure fast turnarounds and an extended content tail.
• Serve as the primary day-to-day contact for agency partner We Are Social, driving the daily delivery of social assets.
• Coordinate internal approvals with Legal, Brand, and External Comms teams, ensuring strict adherence to tone-of-voice and music rights guardrails.
• Partner with the agency to track volume, speed-to-publish, and deep engagement metrics (shares, watch time, sentiment) to identify high-performing formats.
• Use performance insights to identify top-performing organic music content and support its selective paid amplification.

Skills & Experience

• Experience managing social channels in a fast-paced brand or agency environment.
• Strong understanding of TikTok and Instagram platform behaviour.
• Experience managing agencies, creators and production partners.
• Confident navigating legal and external communications approvals.
