who we are
dissident creative agency is built on a genuine passion for the trade and construction industry. we produce creative and engaging video, photography, podcast, design and social media content for brands in this space — and we care deeply about doing it well.
we believe the trades and construction world deserves thoughtful, well-crafted content that goes beyond the obvious. our clients aren’t just businesses to us — we understand their audiences, their culture and what makes them tick. that’s what sets the work we do apart, and it’s what we’re looking for in the people who join us.
the role
we’re growing our social media team and looking for a social media executive to join us full-time. this is a hands-on role managing social media across a portfolio of trade and construction clients — planning content, engaging communities and delivering work that actually moves the needle.
we want someone who is both a strategic and creative thinker. someone who doesn’t just understand the platforms, but understands the people behind them — and can create content that cuts through, connects and sets our clients apart from their competitors.
you don't need to have worked in construction before, but you need to be the kind of person who gets curious about new worlds and throws themselves in. we'll teach you the industry. we can't teach passion or work ethic.
what you’ll be doing
- planning and scheduling a full month of social media content across multiple client accounts in advance
- creating content that is platform-appropriate, audience-aware and genuinely engaging — not just on-brand but ahead of the curve
- carrying out daily community management — monitoring, responding and building genuine engagement
- producing regular performance reports with clear insights and recommendations
- collaborating with our creative team on video, photography and design content
- maintaining strong, professional relationships with clients
- supporting the wider team across accounts when needed
you’re who we’re looking for if…
- you have 2+ years of social media experience
- you’re confident across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn
- you plan and schedule content in advance — not just post and hope
- you can manage multiple client accounts without missing a deadline
- you write well and can adapt your tone for different brands and audiences
- you’re organised, reliable and don’t need to be chased
- you’re a team player but can get the work done solo too
- you have a creative eye — you think about how content looks and feels, not just what it says
- you’re data-literate — you can read analytics and turn them into actions
nice to haves
these aren’t dealbreakers, but good to know:

this isn’t for you if…

the kind of person you are

- you take pride in your work and it shows in the quality of what you produce
- you take feedback well and use it to improve, not to deflate
