BlackFire is a Leeds-based digital marketing agency delivering paid social, Google Ads, SEO, web design and social media management for a growing roster of UK and US clients across B2B, real estate, entertainment, healthcare and consumer brands.
We're a small, fast-moving team and this role will work directly with our founder.
The Role
We're hiring a Social Media Executive & Content Creator to own the day-to-day content and social management for a portfolio of BlackFire's clients. The role splits roughly 30% content creation / 70% social media management - in practice this flexes week to week depending on shoot days, campaign launches and client needs, rather than following a fixed daily schedule.
You'll be the primary point of contact for your accounts' day-to-day content and community management. Strategic direction, campaign planning, and any client escalations are supported by Ben - you won't be running accounts in isolation.
Key Responsibilities
Content (~2 days/week equivalent)
- Plan, shoot and edit short-form video and stills for client social channels
- Write on-brand copy for posts, captions and stories across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Facebook
- Work on video edits for content
- Maintain and update content calendars for your assigned clients
Social Media Management (~3 days/week equivalent)
- Schedule and publish content across client accounts
- Handle day-to-day community management - comments, DMs, engagement
- Monitor performance and compile monthly reporting for your accounts
- Flag client feedback, issues or opportunities to Ben promptly
- Stay current on platform trends and features relevant to client verticals
What We're Looking For
- 1–3 years' experience in social media management and/or content creation (agency experience a plus, not required)
- Strong writing skills and a good eye for what performs on Instagram/TikTok
- Comfortable filming and doing basic editing (CapCut, Premiere Rush, or similar)
- Organised - able to juggle multiple client accounts and deadlines without things slipping
- Confident communicating directly with clients in a professional, on-brand way
- A portfolio or examples of content you've created (personal or professional)
Nice to have
- Experience with Meta Business Suite / scheduling tools
- Basic graphic design (Canva minimum)
- Interest or experience in any of our client sectors (health, real estate, entertainment, B2B/food)
What We Offer
- £24,000 starting salary, with a performance review at 3–6 months and a clear path to increase as you take on more accounts
- Direct mentorship from BlackFire's founder and content lead
- Real ownership of client accounts, not just execution
- A growing agency where this role has room to expand into account management
Pay: From £24,000.00 per year
Benefits:
- Employee mentoring programme
- Work from home
Work Location: Remote
