- Identify and test emerging platforms, formats, creators and tools, using clear measures to evaluate their effectiveness.
- Line-manage, coach and develop the Social Media Specialist, providing clear priorities, regular feedback and development support.
- Oversee community-management standards and escalation processes, ensuring responses are timely, consistent and on-brand.

- Define clear social KPIs and produce concise performance reporting that turns results and audience insights into practical recommendations.
- Manage agreed social budgets and supplier costs, demonstrating the value delivered by our activity.
- Act as an ambassador for The Big Table Group and our brands.
These responsibilities reflect the strategy, activation, content leadership, team management, creator, community and performance accountabilities set out in the job description.

We’re looking for someone who combines strong creative judgement with strategic thinking, commercial awareness and excellent organisation.
- Proven experience managing organic social media for consumer-facing brands, ideally within hospitality, retail, leisure or lifestyle.
