We're looking for a Head of Social Strategy to own all strategic thinking across our client roster - prospective and current - from big-idea pitch work through to live re-strategy sessions, deck creation, and the social content ideas that bring the strategy to life.
This is a rare dual role: someone who can develop award-worthy strategic thinking and translate it into brilliant, platform-native social content - then hold the production team accountable for executing it to a high bar. You'll work alongside our Project Director, who owns delivery and operations - you bring the strategic and creative vision, they bring the operational execution. You will report to the founders & MD of Creators.
Your main responsibilities include:
- Own strategy development for all clients - prospective (new business pitches) and current (ongoing re-strategy sessions, QBRs, account growth).
- Lead big-idea thinking, translating client objectives into sharp, social-first strategy and creative concepts.
- Build and present strategy decks for project-to-project and retained clients alike.
- Bring genuine social/content/creator fluency to every conversation - not just strategic frameworks, but real platform and format understanding.
- Report back to clients on strategy performance and iterate accordingly.
Content Quality & Accountability
- QC and review output to ensure it aligns with the agreed strategy and Socialed's quality bar.
- Hold the production team accountable to strategic and creative standards - briefing them clearly and following through.
- Act as the connective tissue between strategic thinking and what actually gets made.
Team & Craft
- Set and maintain the strategic and creative bar across the agency.
- Mentor and support the wider business in strategic thinking.
About Us

- Long-term growth comes from testing, learning, and consistent monthly execution.
