Time Out is looking for a strategic, culturally plugged-in Senior Social Strategist to help shape the next chapter of our social and video presence. This is a senior role at the heart of Time Out’s Social & Video team, where strategy meets creativity and insight meets cultural storytelling. You’ll lead the optimisation and growth of our social channels across London & Travel, ensuring our content is best-in-class, platform-native and built for how audiences actually consume culture today.

We’re looking for someone who understands performance and platform mechanics, but who is also excited by content creation, confident contributing ideas, filming when needed and occasionally stepping in front of the camera to represent the brand. Time Out Social is fast-moving, collaborative and genuinely fun. We cover the best of the city, food, drink, theatre, film, travel and the people shaping culture and we’re building social output that reflects that energy.
