Social Director

Boldspace is seeking a Social Director to lead and grow our social media offering within the Brand Reputation team. This is a senior role, sitting at the heart of the communications function, responsible for driving the strategic growth of our social capabilities while also overseeing delivery across key client accounts.

You will report directly into senior leadership and work alongside the broader communications and creative teams. You’ll guide the development of culturally intelligent, channel-agnostic campaigns that are socially fluent and reputationally aware. You’ll be as comfortable in the boardroom pitching ideas as you are mentoring a team or shaping processes for scale.

This role requires someone who is both a strategic thinker and hands-on leader—able to spot opportunity for growth while ensuring excellence in execution across all current workstreams.

Requirements

• Act as the senior social lead across Brand Reputation clients and wider agency projects.
• Drive growth of the social offering—developing new products, capabilities, and revenue opportunities.
• Lead and oversee social strategy across accounts, ensuring campaigns are innovative, relevant, and measurable.
• Support and manage a high-performing team of social and comms specialists, ensuring clear development paths and collaboration with PR and creative colleagues.
• Partner with senior comms leads to integrate social thinking throughout campaigns from inception to execution.
• Lead on social thought leadership and agency marketing to elevate Boldspace’s profile in the space.

Key Skills and Experience:

• Proven experience in a senior PR, social or integrated comms role, ideally within an agency setting.
• A track record of growing and evolving a social offering or capability.
• Experience managing and motivating cross-functional teams, including social, content, and PR specialists.
• A deep, up-to-date understanding of social media platforms (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X) and how they can be leveraged in brand reputation campaigns.
• Strong understanding of analytics and social measurement, with the ability to translate insights into strategy.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a passion for storytelling.
• Creative thinking with a sharp eye for culturally resonant ideas and content.
• Entrepreneurial spirit with a collaborative, proactive mindset.
