Cazoo has a brand worth talking about. This role exists to make sure we're talking about it in the right places, in the right way, and in a voice that doesn't sound like every other car company on the internet.
As the Social Media Manager at Cazoo, you'll own social end to end strategy, content, community, reporting, and the Brentford partnership across Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Facebook. This isn't a scheduling role. It's a content-first, platform-native position for someone who understands that what works on TikTok won't work on LinkedIn, and doesn't need to be told the difference.

Able to create content that feels native to each platform rather than traditional marketing adapted for social
Strong organisational skills: you can run a multi-channel content calendar without dropping anything
Experience managing agencies or external partners
Comfortable in front of the camera presenting, talking to the audience, creating content yourself
Strong copywriting and a feel for brand voice; you can write in someone else's tone without losing the thread
Confident with social analytics and able to turn data into clear recommendations
