Job Description
Social Media and Content Lead
Help Shape the Future of The Nursery Store.
We're not looking for someone to post on social media. We're looking for someone who can help build a brand.
At The Nursery Store, social media and content are central to how we connect with parents, tell our story and grow our business. As we enter an exciting new phase of brand development and growth, we're looking for a Social Media and Content Lead who lives and breathes content, understands what makes audiences engage and can create beautiful, compelling content across multiple channels.
We are looking for a talented Social Media and Content Lead to help tell our story across Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube and our website. This is an exciting opportunity to join during a period of significant brand evolution and growth, helping shape how thousands of parents discover, engage with and fall in love with TNS and our house brand Puggle.
This role is perfect for someone who combines creativity with curiosity – a content creator, designer, writer or social media marketer (or indeed all four) who understands how to bring brands to life through compelling visual storytelling.
Salary/Working Hours
