• Stay up to date with current social media trends and audio to integrate into content where relevant and when required
• Monitor key performance metrics across all content created and utilise actionable insights to refine and improve future content. This role is to be fully accountable for the produced content’s quality and performance

• Strong attention to detail, with a high level of written and verbal communication skills
• Strong competency with photo and video editing software, in addition to graphic design, animation and visual effects typically found in both internal training videos, and social media content, is also preferential
• Great personal organisational and project management skills, with an ability to handle multiple priorities simultaneously or ‘on-the-go’, to ensure we are ‘reactive’ to trends or announcements quickly and efficiently
• Ability to work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners
• Passion for all things automotive, industry news and automotive-themed social media content, including an interest and understanding of current social media trends
• A drone licence to capture aerial content or bespoke shots to enhance video content is preferred, but not essential
