The Role

A deep understanding of social media within sport, coupled with great creative strategic thinking is at the heart of this role.
Briefing, presenting and liaising with current and new clients is also a notable part of this job. You’ll work closely with the agency directors to ensure new and existing client growth to the business.
You’ll oversee our social media team and manages the day-to-day running of client accounts and work on the content strategy long-term. You will work closely with our content creators on new content ideas, following the entire process to finally see them come to life. Your job is to make sure the work we produce as an agency upholds the client objectives, is on-brand, is creative, and is on-trend.
Most importantly, the understanding and knowledge of motorsport, specifically F1 will be imperative to succeed in this role. When we cover live events, from home or on location, you’ll kick into a higher gear where long days, high pressure, and multitasking won’t make you blink an eye. This means you must be extremely confident in your communication skills and demand a very high attention to detail from our staff and from yourself while under pressure.

You must have a passion and knowledge of motorsport, preferably F1. You will have led social media campaigns and strategies and reported on their performance to your senior team members and to clients.
On your list of passions should be social media as we need someone who truly obsesses over social trends, creativity and performance of content. You’re always analyzing, thinking, creating, and learning.
