Job Description:

Brighton (Hybrid – 3 days in office)

I’m looking for a Social & Influencer Manager to join a scaling British fashion DTC brand with a highly engaged global community.

This is a channel ownership role. You’ll own organic social and influencer strategy end-to-end, balancing brand expression with commercial performance. It’s a role you can genuinely have fun with — creating bold, rebellious strategies while still being commercially sharp.

You’ll report into the Head of E-commerce and work closely with the Founder / Creative Director, so you need to be confident operating in a founder-led environment while staying commercially focused.

Why this role

  • Social is a core brand and revenue driver, not just awareness
  • Scaling DTC brand with strong international demand (US is the largest market)
  • Clear ambition to grow globally, including expansion into new markets
  • Real ownership across both organic social and influencer strategy
  • Close collaboration with founder and senior leadership
  • Opportunity to shape how social contributes to traffic, conversion and affiliate revenue

What you’ll be doing

  • Owning the organic social strategy across key platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube and others)
  • Leading the influencer and creator ecosystem across gifted, affiliate and paid partnerships
  • Building structured creator tiers and performance frameworks
  • Tracking performance through codes, UTMs and affiliate data
  • Partnering with Ecommerce to ensure social drives measurable commercial impact
  • Leading the social calendar around drops, launches and key trading moments
  • Managing and developing the social/influencer team
  • Reporting clearly on engagement, growth, traffic and revenue contribution

What we’re looking for

  • Strong experience owning social and influencer strategy within fashion / lifestyle / culturally-led brands
  • Commercially aware — understands how social drives traffic and revenue
  • Experience with affiliate tracking and performance measurement
  • Confident working closely with creative leadership while protecting commercial outcomes
  • Comfortable presenting results and strategy to senior stakeholders
  • Experience managing or mentoring team members
  • Used to working in fast-moving, founder-led environments
