Do you thrive at connecting brands with consumers through creative, authentic, and forward-thinking content? Are you fluent (written + spoken) in both English and German? If so, we want you on our team!

👊 The Opportunity

We’re seeking a talented social-first Content Creator (English/German) to join our team. In this key role, you’ll channel your creativity and copywriting skills to craft eye-catching content, elevate a client's social presence, and grow their audience across leading social platforms, especially TikTok and Instagram. You will be responsible for the entire content creation process, including planning, shooting, and designing social-first visuals and videos tailored to each channel.

You’ll leverage your innovative ideas and deep understanding of British and German cultures to produce content that is both culturally relevant and responsive to current trends, helping an FMCG client distinguish their brand in a highly competitive social media landscape.

You will act as the guardian of our client’s social media tone of voice and persona, combining excellence in bilingual copywriting, concept ideation and content creation for social-first campaigns, and a proactive approach to trendspotting and cultural moments.

If you want to make a significant impact and help a leading FMCG brand evolve and transform its image, we’d love to hear from you!

📅 What You’ll Do

• Trend & Culture Leadership: Stay ahead of and capture the latest social and cultural trends in the UK and Germany; picking timely, relevant conversations for the client to activate around. You’ll seamlessly insert brands into the right moments.

• Content Planning & Scheduling: Lead on building and maintaining an up-to-date, coherent content calendar. Coordinate scheduling across channels and ensure all creative is fully approved and legal-checked before posting.

• Performance Monitoring & Creative Reporting: Monitor content performance, extract insights, and leverage learnings to tell creative, community-first stories. Work with our insights team to contribute to monthly and quarterly reports with actionable recommendations.

• Collaboration: Work closely with Creative, Strategy, Engagement, and Social teams to ensure content ladders up to both campaign objectives and broader business goals. Attend client status meetings for reviews.

• Agile Creation: Able to react quickly and create low-fi or high-quality assets using your own footage (DSLR/mobile), client image libraries, or existing assets. Confident briefing designers as needed.

• Client Communication & Upselling : Participate in meetings and present creative ideas confidently to clients, supporting the Client Partner in identifying new content opportunities for growth and upselling.

• Social Listening: Collaborate with engagement teams to surface relevant social insights and community trends for future content planning.
