At UKLASH, we’re redefining natural beauty with powerful, effective beauty essentials that deliver real results. We’re looking for a socially fluent, creative and highly proactive Social Media Marketing Executive to help bring UKLASH to life across our social channels.

This is a hands-on role for someone who genuinely loves social media. You’ll have the opportunity to own areas of day-to-day delivery while developing your understanding of how insight, strategy and commercial priorities shape a leading beauty brand’s social presence.

• Schedule and publish approved content across channels.
• Ensure content is delivered accurately, on time and in line with platform best practice.

Community Management

• Take significant day-to-day ownership of community engagement across comments, DMs, mentions and tags.
• Respond in UKLASH’s tone of voice and help build meaningful relationships with followers and customers.
• Proactively engage with relevant creators, communities and conversations outside of UKLASH’s owned channels.
• Identify recurring questions, comments and audience behaviours that could inspire future content.

• Stay constantly connected to TikTok, Instagram, beauty culture and emerging social trends.
• Proactively bring relevant trends, sounds, formats, creators and cultural opportunities to the team.
• Help turn relevant trends into live UKLASH content quickly.

• Track key metrics including reach, engagement, views, follower growth, saves, shares and community activity.
• Help identify high- and low-performing content and contribute thoughts on why content performed as it did.
• Bring audience observations and community insights into reporting alongside quantitative data.
• Apply agreed learnings to future content creation.

Paid Social & Amplification

• Create and adapt social-first content for use by the Paid Media team.
• Work collaboratively with Paid Media to identify organic content with strong amplification potential.
• Apply relevant paid learnings back into future organic content creation.

Campaign & Cross-Team Support

• Capture live and behind-the-scenes content at shoots, events and activations where required.
• Work collaboratively with Creative, Influencer, PR, Paid Media, E-commerce, Retail and Customer Service teams.
• Help ensure key retail and commercial moments are supported through relevant social content.
• Contribute ideas and social insight into wider campaign and creative discussions.

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years’ experience in social media, content creation or a relevant marketing role.
• Genuinely immersed in TikTok, Instagram and social culture.
• Strong short-form content creation skills, including filming and editing.
• Confident creating content on set and contributing to social-first shoot planning.
• Strong writing skills with an instinct for engaging hooks, captions and scripts.

• Comfortable using data and interested in understanding why content performs.
• Collaborative, adaptable and happy working in a fast-paced environment.
