- Translate agreed strategy into clear scopes, timelines, content plans, production requirements and delivery milestones.
- Manage social content calendars, asset trackers, approvals, copy development, posting requirements and reporting inputs across multiple channels and markets.
- Coordinate internal teams including strategy, creative, studio, influencer, PR and paid social to keep workstreams connected and moving efficiently.

- Confident client-handling skills, with the ability to manage feedback, approvals, expectations and day-to-day communication.
- Excellent organisational skills, calm problem-solving and the ability to keep cross-functional teams aligned in a fast-paced environment.
