As our Community Manager, you will sit at the intersection of creativity, data, and culture. You will be the heartbeat of the brand, translating strategy into daily interactions that matter. You will work side-by-side with award-winning creative teams, helping to shape the brand story through real-time engagement, social insights, and bold community-first ideas. 

In this role, you will act as the voice of the brand, and whilst you won't be doing the social strategy, you'll be managing daily execution of the social strategy - from posting and scheduling to crisis monitoring and response. We're looking for someone who is a proactive problem solver, wants to deliver excellent work for clients, and loves working in XFN teams.
