Head of Social Media - London, United Kingdom - Autonomy Research Limited

Description

Head of Social Media
This is a crucial role for the organisation.

Autonomy has a clear and ambitious mission:
to provide the research and tools for the future we need.


Work, welfare, climate

In the past six years, we have grown to become one of the most impactful research organisations in the UK; your job is to manage how we communicate our work and how we engage our online audiences.

We are looking for someone to join our friendly and focused team, in order to be deeply embedded in all facets of the organisation so as to communicate our various projects through our social media channels


You might be:
❖ Someone with years of professional experience in more corporate spheres, who is looking to contribute to a more meaningful initiative. You know the tricks of the trade but want to put them to progressive use.

❖ Someone who has been working in start-ups and other young organisations, learning successful social media techniques as you go, developing - through trial and error - a good sense as to the right tools to use at the right time.

❖ Someone with a background in data science that also has a way with words. Your bread and butter is a data-driven approach to content creation and audience engagement. You want to work at Autonomy because you think data-intensive techniques should be used for progressive purposes and not just for more dubious ends.
