About 1st Formations

The Role

We’re looking for a creative and results-driven Social Media Manager to help shape and grow our presence across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. As we revamp our social strategy, you’ll take ownership of our day-to-day channels — creating engaging, social-first content that informs, inspires, and supports entrepreneurs on their journey from ideas to thriving business.

This isn’t a typical B2B role. We’re not looking for TikToks about HMRC filing deadlines, but for someone who can push creative boundaries, bring fresh ideas to the table, and make business content genuinely engaging.

Key Responsibilities

• Create engaging, social-first content across TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube

• Own organic social and collaborate with paid media teams on campaign creative

• Work with videographers and marketing teams to produce high-quality video content

• Appear on camera where appropriate to bring content to life

• Act as a champion for social media internally, encouraging team participation and LinkedIn engagement

• Identify opportunities to integrate social across wider marketing campaigns

• Monitor performance and use insights to continuously optimise content and strategy

• Stay ahead of platform trends, algorithm updates, and new features

• Support community management and ensure consistent, on-brand engagement

What we are looking for

• 6+ years’ experience managing and creating social media content, with strong TikTok expertise

• Highly creative, with a proven ability to develop engaging, social-first content ideas

• Confident on camera, with experience presenting or interviewing (desirable)

• Able to lead content creation and confidently direct colleagues, including senior stakeholders

• Strong communication and collaboration skills across diverse teams

• Open to learning complex topics, with a willingness to develop within a B2B environment

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package

• Hybrid working model

• Real opportunities for progression as the business scales

• The chance to influence both customer experience and product development

• A culture that values ownership, impact, and continuous learning
