Job Description

About Us - The Social Shepherd 🐑

We're a Social-first agency helping global brands, household names, and high-growth scale-ups accelerate their business growth.

We’ve recently won Best Large Social Agency for two years in a row, and we’re now looking for a Social Content Strategist to join our passionate, driven team. 

We’re a team of 65+ across the U.S (New York & Miami) and the UK (London & Bath), with ambitions to continue our growth and deliver industry-leading work for our clients.

We collaborate with consumer-led brands across Fashion, Retail, Food & Beverage, and CPG—and we’re looking for someone who’s not only experienced in these spaces, but genuinely passionate about building culturally relevant social content for them.

First of all, here are some important things…

🏠 Work From Home: we operate a hybrid model where team members come to the office 3 days a week. A lot of our team loves working collaboratively, but they also like the option and balance of working from home.

🕐 Flexible hours: some people are early birds, and others like to start later. We allow people to set their own times, with some people starting at 8am and getting to finish up earlier! We trust our team to get their work done on their schedule.

❤️ We’re committed to equality of opportunity for all. We welcome applications from individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, or disability status. We want to support diverse and inclusive work environments and are actively looking for people who share our values.

  • Craft compelling copy that brings each brand’s tone of voice to life, from captions to scripts to on-screen text.
  • Lead a small team (1–2x Social Media Executives) who’ll support content creation, planning, and community engagement.
  • From time to time, join our creative team on shoots to guide the final output.
  • Provide feedback on visual and written content to ensure everything aligns with the brand and channel best practices.
  • Build strong relationships with your clients alongside the Account Director, becoming a trusted partner in their content journey.
  • Deliver insightful client reporting, offering strategic guidance and deep analysis to ensure we're hitting KPIs and continuously optimising our content performance.

What we’re looking for

  • 5–6 years of hands-on social media experience, ideally with a strong focus on content and creative strategy and execution.
  • You’re passionate about building a long-term career in Social Media Marketing and are excited by the idea of growing within a fast-paced, high-growth agency.
  • Creative at heart – you love coming up with ideas, spotting content opportunities, and thinking outside the box.
  • You genuinely care about the work you put out into the world and always strive to do your best.
  • Organised and detail-oriented – you’re able to juggle multiple projects, deadlines, and content calendars without breaking a sweat.
  • Naturally curious and adaptable – social media doesn’t stand still, and neither do you. You stay up to speed with platform updates, creative trends, and evolving best practices.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
