Social Media Manager

Role Overview

This role sits at the heart of a fast-moving creative studio in Dubai, where you will own the social media presence for a varied roster of client projects. Day to day, you will craft platform-specific content calendars, turn brand briefs into scroll-stopping posts, and use performance data to sharpen every campaign. Your work directly fuels brand visibility and community growth across multiple digital channels, making you a key driver of client satisfaction and repeat business.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and implement tailored social media strategies for each project, balancing short-term engagement spikes with long-term brand-building goals.
• Produce, curate, and schedule original content — from static visuals and short-form video to interactive stories — that fits each platform’s native style.
• Track daily performance metrics across all accounts, then translate those numbers into clear recommendations for content, timing, and audience targeting.
• Partner with designers, copywriters, and account managers to align social campaigns with broader marketing initiatives and client objectives.
• Run community management workflows: responding to comments and messages, spotting trending conversations, and turning audience feedback into content ideas.
• Stay ahead of algorithm changes, new features, and emerging content formats, then pilot fresh approaches that keep the agency’s work ahead of the curve.
• Maintain a well-organised content library and editorial calendar, ensuring every post meets brand guidelines and is published on deadline.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Media, or a related field is preferred, though equivalent hands-on experience is also welcome.
• At least 2–3 years of professional experience managing social media for brands or agencies, with a portfolio showing real campaign results.
• Superb written and spoken English — you can capture a brand voice in a punchy caption and also present strategy ideas confidently to clients.
• Demonstrated eye for visual storytelling: you know what makes a feed look cohesive, what thumbnail stops the scroll, and why a certain cut works better on Reels vs. TikTok.
• Working knowledge of social media management tools (scheduling, listening, analytics) and the ability to navigate native business suites across major platforms.
• Fluency in using analytics to guide decisions — you can connect engagement patterns to business outcomes and articulate that story clearly.
• Proven ability to juggle multiple projects at once while maintaining high-quality output and meeting tight deadlines in a fast-paced agency environment.
