Social Media Content Writer - Nottingham, United Kingdom - The Yardstick Agency
Description
Job Description
Hi there
If you have experience writing engaging content for LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X, and want to join a sector-leading agency, we'd love to hear from you
On any given day, you'll be:
A fast-growing, busy, and social team
We're a marketing agency who specialises in the financial services sector. In fact, based on Google reviews, we're the highest-rated agency in that sector. We service the marketing needs of financial advisers and planners, as well as networks, investment houses and product providers.
Niche, isn't it? That's a great thing because it means we inherently know who we work with and their typical needs.
We've grown rapidly since our head honcho, Phil Bray, started the business in 2017, and to continue that growth, we need to add more talent to the team. If you're an ambitious designer, we want to hear from you.
Our office is in the very heart of Nottingham's Creative Quarter, meaning you're just a few minutes away from buses, trams, and the train station should you wish to work in the office. However, if you'd rather work from home or do a mixture of the two, that's fine with us
Still interested?
Excellent.
We're looking for someone with demonstrable experience in managing social media campaigns, particularly in regard to content creation. You need to be proficient at writing professional, engaging copy and sourcing "scroll-stopping" images.
You will be passionate about producing excellent results for our clients and the highest quality work. We want someone who isn't afraid of being held to (and holding others to) high standards.
As Steve Jobs said: "Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected."
Now you know how we got our name
If you're the person we're looking for, we need you to be able to demonstrate:
Confidence, excellent attention to detail, good communication, and being able to work as part of a small team are also essential skills.
You need to be comfortable using Microsoft Office and/or Google Workspace as you will be expected to log activity within existing worksheets that use these software packages.
Note: We don't mean to be boring, but we will only consider applications that provide a CV, a covering letter and, ideally, examples of your work. Scroll to the bottom for more information.
A great salary and benefits
If you're the right person for us, you'll benefit from:
