What we’re looking for

We’re looking for a social media generalist who has proven experience in the following areas:

While you don’t need to know all of these areas, the more you do about each of them – even at a basic level – the better.

If you’re missing any knowledge, we’ll work closely with you to train you up in the relevant areas. Plus there’ll be plenty of client work to get you up to speed quickly. Nothing like being thrown in the deep end and seeing if you sink or swim!
