Description of the role 

As the Social Media Manager, you will be responsible for developing and executing the social media strategy for Investec's Northern Hemisphere territories. This role involves managing channels, overseeing the social content calendar, advising campaign managers and production teams, and acting as a brand guardian on social media.

Significant collaboration with various global teams and stakeholders will be essential, and some travel to the UK may be required. This is a high-impact position suited for someone with strong stakeholder management skills, a keen editorial eye, and a deep understanding of the evolving social media landscape.

Key Responsibilities: 

•    Manage IBP's organic social media channels, including LinkedIn, X, Facebook and Instagram. 
•    Develop the northern hemisphere social media strategy, in line with the broader digital marketing strategy, and the global social media strategy.
•    Collaborate closely with our community management and Southern Hemisphere social media teams.
•    Own and curate the social media content calendar. 
•    Keep up to date with latest social media trends - implementing best practice and communicating it to the wider marketing teams.
•    Though day-to-day post execution will not sit with this role, there is an expectation that this position will be on hand to advise campaign managers, agency, and production team, in addition to editing and checking posts before they go live. 
•    There is a requirement that a very limited number of ad hoc, high-profile posts will need to be managed by this role.
•    Oversee social media reporting for the northern hemisphere territories.
•    Act as a brand guardian for the company on social media.
•    Manage organic social boosting, being mindful of campaign objectives and target audiences.

Requirements: 

•    5 to 7 years proven experience as a Social Media Manager for either a global organisation or a financial services company (preferably both). 
•    Must be experienced and comfortable working closely with multiple stakeholders across several teams and territories. 
•    Strong grasp of the current social media landscape, including best practice, algorithms, the channel mix, and some level of long-term thinking.
•    Experience managing and curating social content calendars.
•    Some familiarity with paid social (primarily organic boosting).
•    A sharp eye for social media copy and creative (direct experience writing and/or editing copy would be beneficial).
•    Some experience working on digital PR and community management.
•    Analytical skills, and the ability to interpret data and draw actionable insights
