Qualifications
Who we're looking for
You'll be a storyteller first and a social media manager second - but genuinely both.
You'll spot the content opportunities other people walk past and know how to turn them into something people want to watch, read or share.
You'll ideally bring:
-
Previous experience in social media, marketing or content creation.
-
A strong creative eye and confidence capturing and editing photo and video content.
-
Experience with platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn.

Experience within hospitality, luxury or lifestyle brands would be a bonus.
How to apply
Examples of your work are essential. Applications without a portfolio or links to previous content will not be considered.
Please include a portfolio, showreel or links to content you've created, along with a short note telling us about the piece you're proudest of and why.
We'd far rather see three pieces you're proud of than thirty you're not.
