Manager, Strategy (Social Media Focus)

Build creative social media concepts

We're looking for a Mid-Level Social Media Strategist who translates cultural signals and platform dynamics into strategies that drive measurable impact. You'll blend social-first thinking with AI-assisted insights to craft campaigns that resonate across creator ecosystems and social channels. You'll own strategy development end-to-end, collaborate cross-functionally, and present confidently to clients. You can lead strategic workstreams independently, mentor junior strategists, and hold your own in client rooms. 

Why join us: You'll work on ambitious brands with freedom to experiment, access to best-in-class tools and data, and a team that values curiosity, rigour, and craft. We iterate fast, co-create across disciplines, and invest in your growth.

• You design social-first strategies using organic content, creator partnerships, and paid amplification to achieve client objectives
• You leverage AI tools and social listening (Pulsar, GWI, Primetag) to uncover cultural moments, audience insights, and strategic opportunities
• You translate data into compelling narratives that guide creative development, influencer briefs, and integrated campaign planning
• You define success metrics and optimize strategies based on performance analysis
• You present strategic recommendations and campaign reviews to clients with clarity and commercial awareness

• You have 3+ years in social media strategy within a digital or social-first agency, with deep fluency in platform ecosystems (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch) and creator dynamics
• You use social listening tools (Pulsar, GWI) to uncover strategic opportunities and connect cultural, platform, and audience insights into actionable strategies
• You communicate clearly and confidently, with strong presentation skills and experience briefing cross-functional teams and clients
• You are fluent in English and German; additional languages (French, Italian, Spanish) are highly valued
• You ideally have experience with AI tools for trend forecasting, direct creator collaboration, or paid social mechanics

• Time to pack your bags for Paris, London, Milan, Hamburg or Berlin: you’re welcome to work abroad from any of our office locations

• We love to see you grow: our careers coach is on hand for one-to-one coaching sessions and team workshops

• We work hard and play hard, bringing our global team together to collaborate, learn from one another and celebrate our successes

• Don’t fancy the office today? Our hybrid remote policy lets you work from home two days a week

• Keep your commute to a minimum: you’ll find all our offices right in the city centre

• For motivational high-paws and comforting cuddles, your four-legged friend is absolutely welcome at our offices
