This role is responsible for setting direction, driving growth, and ensuring Dexerto’s social output is fast, smart, brand-safe, and consistently best-in-class. You’ll sit at the intersection of editorial, production, and commercial teams; translating data into strategies that help to increase follower growth, reach and monetisation.

• Feed back regularly on what is working, what is not, and where opportunities exist across content, formats and partnerships.
• Step in to plug gaps across platforms when required, ensuring continuity of output.

• We're not some stuffy, old-school media company dwelling on the negative. We create viral content and cover the fun stuff.
• You'll have the opportunity to lead key initiatives, take ownership of projects, and grow with the company as we continue to scale.
• Geographical freedom - You can work from anywhere, as long as you're available during the UK timezone.
