  • Outstanding verbal and written communication skills
  • Solid understanding of social media landscape and tools
  • Basic analytics skills
  • Excellent people skills
  • A strong visual aesthetic
  • Attention to detail
  • Experience in Adobe Suite, video production or digital marketing a bonus

 

To be successful here you are:

  • Comfortable working in a busy, high-volume environment
  • Capable of punchy copy quickly and tidily to tight deadlines 
  • Agile enough to spot a great idea and pounce on it
  • Someone who enjoys working in an ever-changing environment
  • Happy to work from home for the foreseeable
