  • Drive acquisition of new, high-value audiences through social platforms, prioritising relevance and intent
  • Identify and prioritise key B2B segments such as senior leaders, practitioners, influencers and decision-makers
  • Support top- and mid-funnel objectives by increasing awareness, consideration and intent among potential subscribers
  • Partner with editorial, content, video and audio teams, and subject-matter experts to develop social-first thought leadership
  • Translate complex ideas, insight and analysis into compelling, platform-appropriate social content
  • Ensure social channels consistently reinforce brand authority, credibility and differentiation
  • Lead strategy across priority platforms including LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit and emerging B2B-relevant channels
  • Define channel-specific approaches covering cadence, formats, tone and community engagement
  • Identify opportunities to extend reach through employees, contributors, partners or creators where appropriate
  • Track and analyse performance using metrics relevant to a subscription business, such as engagement quality, referral traffic and sign-ups
  • Work closely with analytics, CRM and operations teams to understand social’s contribution to the subscription journey
  • Use insight to continually refine content, formats and platform investment
  • Work closely with marketing, video, editorial, product and commercial teams to support launches, campaigns and strategic initiatives
  • Act as a strategic partner to stakeholders, helping them understand how social media drives subscription growth and brand impact

Requirements

  • Significant experience leading organic social media strategy in a B2B, subscription or content-led business
  • Deep understanding of how professional audiences use social platforms for discovery, insight and decision-making
  • Proven ability to grow relevant, highly engaged audiences rather than focusing solely on scale
  • Strong analytical mindset, with experience linking social performance to wider business goals
  • Excellent stakeholder management, collaboration and influencing skills
  • Strong time management and organisational skills

Nice to have

  • Experience in publishing, financial services, professional services or SaaS
  • Familiarity with subscription funnels, audience lifecycle models and retention thinking
  • Experience working closely with senior subject-matter experts or editorial teams
