We’re looking for a confident, creative and seriously organised Social Media Manager to take Chilled Pubs’ social media to the next level.
You’ll be out in our pubs, capturing the food, people, atmosphere and personality that make Chilled Pubs what it is — and turning it into content people actually want to watch, share and engage with.
You’ll report directly to our Marketing Manager but be responsible for owning the process from strategy through to doing — planning, creating, filming, editing, publishing and engaging with our audience.
