Fluid Ideas is an independent full‑service creative and digital agency. We help ambitious brands grow through strategy, creativity, performance and innovation - and we’re looking for a talented Organic Social Media Manager to join our expanding Campaigns & Content digital team.

You’ll work across a variety of clients and sectors, creating smart, strategic, platform‑first content that builds brands, engages communities and drives measurable outcomes. If you love combining creativity with insight, and you’re just as comfortable planning strategy as you are rolling up your sleeves and delivering day‑to‑day content, this role is for you.

What you’ll do

  • Develop and deliver organic social strategies across multiple clients and sectors

  • Utilising our chosen social media management tool, Sprout Social to plan, schedule, and report

  • Plan, create and schedule platform‑specific content for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit and more

  • Translate ideas, objectives and audience insights into clear creative briefs for designers and motion teams

  • Work closely with our Performance & Innovation team to ensure content aligns with paid social, PPC, SEO and wider campaign activity

  • Collaborating with all teams within Fluid Ideas to produce digital-first content - looking for opportunities across all teams

  • Analyse performance data to optimise content, improve strategy and uncover new insights

  • Stay ahead of platform trends, formats, features and opportunities

  • Manage and grow online communities, ensuring tone, pace and brand safety

  • Contribute to ideation workshops, campaign planning sessions and client presentations

  • Being a strong client lead, becoming a proactive and trusted partner and maintaining strong relationships

What you’ll bring

  • 2+ years hands‑on social media experience, ideally agency-side (in‑house also considered)

  • Strong understanding of what “good” looks like on LinkedIn, IG, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit and emerging platforms

  • Clear grasp of platform-specific content - format, tone, pacing, trends, algorithm behaviour

  • Experience building content strategies tied to brand, campaign and commercial goals

  • Ability to brief designers confidently, clearly and collaboratively

  • Strong copywriting and storytelling skills

  • A proactive, detail-driven, organised approach to handling multiple clients and deadlines

  • Awareness of wider digital marketing, including paid social, SEO and PPC

  • A collaborative mindset - you’ll work closely with strategists, performance specialists, designers and account managers

Nice to have (but not essential)

  • Experience in paid social or boosting organic content

  • SEO‑aware copywriting

  • Understanding of UTM tracking, analytics platforms and measurement frameworks

  • Experience working with international or multi-brand clients

Closing date for applications: Friday 6th March 2026

Interview process

We operate a three-stage interview process, which starts with an informal culture chat, where you’ll meet our head of people and culture, and your team leader. If the chemistry feels right, the next stage is a more formal interview, with the third stage being a small-scale test project.
