Job Introduction
At DFS Group, we’re proud to help people create spaces they love to live in. We’re home to DFS, Sofology, and The Sofa Delivery Company: three brands with their own personalities, brought together by a shared mission.
Behind our brands is a passionate Group team. From Finance and Technology to People, Marketing and Supply Chain, our Group functions power everything we do. They create the foundations that allow our brands to thrive, innovate and grow.
Whether you’re supporting our brands or serving our customers, the mindset that connects us means we expect more of ourselves and each other. It means every customer is our favourite, every voice is valued, and every interaction is one we’re proud of.
When you’re part of a community that shares your way of thinking, the wins feel bigger. The effort feels worth it. It’s a place where people stay because they feel valued, and find room to grow because they’re challenged.
As our Group Organic Social Executive, you'll bring our best-in-class social and content strategy to life by creating engaging, always-on content that builds brand relevance, grows our communities, and supports the commercial goals of both DFS and Sofology.
You'll live and breathe social media, with a deep understanding of platforms, trends, content formats and online communities. As both a creator and curator, you'll confidently produce high-quality content while proactively sourcing stories and assets from our stores, studios, photo shoots and teams across the business.
Combining creativity with technical expertise, you'll know not only what content to create, but why it matters, when it should be published, and how to optimise performance using data, audience insights and platform best practice. You'll be passionate about spotting emerging trends, testing new ideas and continuously evolving our social presence to keep both brands relevant, engaging and ahead of the curve.
