    Job description

    We are seeking a highly creative and hands-on Social Media Manager & Content Creator to lead the execution of our social media strategy across key platforms.

    We’re looking for a hands-on content creator to manage content end-to-end — from concept and production to publishing and optimisation.

    You’ll turn markets, products, and brand moments into compelling, audience-first content.

    This is not a coordination or scheduling role — you will be expected to generate ideas and create content yourself on a daily basis.

    Key Responsibilities

    Content Creation & Production

    • Create high-quality video and social content across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and X
    • Film, edit, and confidently appear on camera when needed
    • Capture and create content around sports sponsorships (events, athletes, behind-the-scenes, live event moments)
    • Turn financial market trends, and brand moments into engaging, easy-to-understand content

    Content Strategy & Planning

    • Own the social content calendar across all channels
    • Identify opportunities to connect brand storytelling with live sports and cultural moments
    • Partner with marketing, product, and sales to deliver relevant, consistent content

    Campaign Execution

    • Bring campaigns, products, and sports sponsorships to life on social
    • Translate briefs into compelling, social-first content
    • Work with partners, athletes, and internal teams to create timely, high-impact content
    • Identify, collaborate with, and manage relationships with external creators and influencers to produce consistent, high-quality trading and market content.
    • Manage approvals and ensure brand and regulatory compliance

    Community & Platform Management

    • Manage posting, engagement, and platform performance
    • Join conversations across sports, markets, and culture in a timely, relevant way
    • Stay ahead of trends, formats, and algorithm changes

    Performance & Optimisation

    • Track performance and optimise content based on insights
    • Test new formats, ideas, and creative approaches
    • Continuously improve what works — and move fast

    Requirements

    • 3–5+ years in social/content (brand or personal)
    • Strong filming + editing skills
    • Excellent social copywriting skills, with the ability to write sharp, engaging, platform-native content (particularly for X and LinkedIn), including threads, commentary, and reactive posts on market trends.
    • Deep understanding of what works on modern platforms
    • Ability to simplify complex ideas into engaging content
    • Strong interest in trading, investing, or financial markets, with the curiosity and ability to quickly build informed perspectives.
    • Experienced using tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Midjourney, After effects, Figma, or similar, with a focus on creating and editing content quickly and independently.
    • Comfortable being hands-on and moving quickly

    Bonus

    • Experience in fintech, trading, or financial services.
    • Built or grown your own social presence
    • Familiarity with compliance and regulatory considerations in financial marketing.
    • Experience working with influencers or brand ambassadors.

    Key Attributes

    • Creative thinker with a strong eye for storytelling and visual content.
    • Proactive and self-driven, with the ability to take ownership end-to-end.
    • Adaptable and comfortable experimenting with new ideas and formats.
    • Detail-oriented with strong organisational skills.
