Most social media jobs give you a brand guideline, a content calendar and a manager telling you what to post.
This isn’t one of those jobs.
This is an opportunity to build one of the most exciting student fashion communities in the UK from the ground up.
We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just “work in social”, but someone who genuinely understands how online communities are built.
Someone who sees a TikTok account with potential and immediately starts thinking:
“I know exactly how to scale this.”
You’ll be joining a fast-growing startup that’s already partnering with some of the biggest names in fashion and lifestyle, but now needs the right person to take the brand from “promising” to impossible to ignore.
Why this role is different
You won’t be inheriting a polished machine with a massive team and endless budget.
You’ll be building.
Creating.
Experimenting.
Spotting trends early.
Turning ideas into content quickly.
Building systems from scratch.
Working directly with founders.
Shaping the voice of the brand in real time.
If that excites you, keep reading.
If you want layers of approvals, huge corporate structures and one tiny lane of responsibility, this probably isn’t for you.
What you’ll actually be doing
You’ll own the entire social ecosystem across TikTok and Instagram.
That means:
Driving organic audience growth
Creating and directing content
Building a genuine student community
Managing ambassadors and creators
Spotting what works and scaling it fast
Helping shape the cultural identity of the brand
Some days you’ll be briefing creators.
Some days you’ll be editing content yourself.
Some days you’ll be filming in the office or on campus.
Some days you’ll be jumping on trends before everyone else catches up.
You’ll have a huge amount of ownership and freedom to make things happen.
What success looks like
You know how to:
Build engaged online communities
Grow accounts organically
Create content people actually care about
Make brands feel culturally relevant
Move quickly without waiting for permission
You probably:
Have experience growing social accounts from scratch
Understand TikTok instinctively
Have strong creative taste
Are obsessed with content, trends and internet culture
Can think strategically but execute practically
Aren’t afraid to get hands dirty
Most importantly. You’re a doer.
Who this will suit
This role is perfect for someone who:
Feels boxed in at a larger company
Wants more ownership
Wants to help build something meaningful
Loves startup energy
Wants their work to genuinely matter
Is ambitious and wants to grow fast professionally
There’s real progression here too.
As the business scales, this role could naturally evolve into a broader leadership position across marketing, social and community.
The setup
Hybrid working (Manchester-based team)
2–3 days per week in the office
Young, collaborative team
Fast-moving startup environment
Huge creative freedom
Salary: £40k–£45k
If you’ve been waiting for a role where you can genuinely leave your mark on a brand, this is it.
