Willingness to work at client locations as needed. What we want from you: Proven hands-on experience as a Social Strategist (agency or brand-side) with a distinct focus on transactional social commerce and conversion over pure brand awareness (turning social engagement into transactional revenue) Hands-on experience working with social platforms such as TikTok Shop setups, live shopping, and TikTok's affiliate/creator network models and/or Meta's collaborative ads (CPAS) and social-to-retail integrations is highly essential. You possess a strong commercial mindset with the ability to act as a growth partner for our clients. You don't just manage client relationships; you proactively identify and pitch new social commerce opportunities that drive incremental revenue and business growth through social channels. Experience in delivering business outcomes, not just engagement metrics. You understand retail margins, affiliate commission models, conversion funnels, and the commercial drivers of e-commerce. You will have experience scaling social commerce within large, complex structures and multi-brand environments. Comfortable diving into platform analytics, social commerce metrics, and performance dashboards to pull out actionable insights that steer creative and media choices. While you are a specialist in social commerce, you possess a broad understanding of the wider digital shelf, retail media, and how social commerce connects to a brand's overall eCommerce ecosystem. An adaptable, positive thinker who thrives in a fast-paced environment. You see the rapid shifts in social media platforms not as a challenge, but as a commercial opportunity to test, learn, and pioneer new shopping experiences. Exceptional presentation and communication skills. You are highly consultative, comfortable partnering with senior global clients, and capable of translating complex social commerce mechanics into clear, commercially viable business cases. Desirable Attributes: Experience in the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) or related industry (e.g., personal care, household products, food & beverage) is highly desirable. This includes understanding the unique challenges and opportunities within this sector, such as navigating complex regulatory environments, managing brand reputation, and driving online sales through social commerce. Experience with social listening, analytics, and social commerce tools (e.g., Sprinklr, Brandwatch, Google Analytics). Experience managing or advising on creator/influencer affiliate programs at scale. Familiarity with A/B testing methodologies for creative assets in social commerce environments. What we can offer you: Alongside the opportunity to work with some of the most exciting brands around the world, we'll also prioritise your career development and help you grow your skills. We'll empower you to make a difference, allow you to be yourself, and respect who you are. Our culture thrives on our core values, designed for impact-driven individuals: Heart, Brains and Courage.
