• Partner closely with marketing, media, and agency teams to ensure insights are actioned and campaigns optimised.
• Help define measurement frameworks, standards, and best practices for social and influencer marketing.
• Manage priorities across multiple stakeholders while maintaining clarity, focus, and strong judgement.

What We’re Looking For

• Solid experience in social media, influencer marketing, or marketing analytics, with a strong focus on measurement and insights.
• Proven experience working in a B2C or consumer-facing environment.
• Deep understanding of social platforms, the influencer ecosystem, and performance measurement across channels.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesise data into meaningful, business-ready insights.
