😻 A bit about the opportunity:

Are you a hardworking, cat-centric person ready to embark on an exciting journey? We're on the lookout for someone to join the founding team of our Cat business. This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to shape the future of our brand.   There are 11 million cats in the UK and, just like dogs, they are considered a member of the family so all we want is the best for them. The experience of owning a cat can be stressful, and the food industry has let cats down; what’s available isn’t meeting their needs for both taste and nutrition. In fact, many cat parents don’t even understand what those needs are in the first place. It’s making cats unhappy and unhealthy, and cat parents feel guilty and deflated.   We think we can be the solution, and we are on a mission to deliver health and happiness to cats all over the UK.   📣 A bit about the role:   This is a hybrid working role, offering flexibility with some work-from-home days each week. We expect you to spend 3 days at the Box Office in White City - London, with the possibility of occasional travel to other locations as your role evolves. If you're ready to make a significant impact, join us on this exciting adventure of growth and innovation.   As the Social Media & Community Manager, your mission is clear: own the creative and strategic vision for our social accounts, building an engaged community of cat lovers. This is a great opportunity for someone to show off their creativity and passion for all things social and build up our community from scratch. You will create, curate, and publish content in line with our brand, report on how well it performs, and deliver innovative solutions to build our following and promote our proposition.   What you’ll do:

• Develop strategies and content plans to ensure our organic social media outlets are populated with fresh, interesting, and innovative content that ties in with our company's vision and brand.
• Set up and manage all our social accounts, creating content that is informative, engaging, and reflects the brand and the unique way we meow.
• Write humorous and engaging copy for all our social media channels.
• Create and edit content that tells compelling stories, evokes emotions, and resonates with our target audience.
• Schedule our posts, monitor engagement, impressions, and reactions, and report on performance.
• Monitor social media trends, interpret data, and make data-driven recommendations on a weekly basis to improve our channels and keep ahead of our competitors.
• Develop and implement social media campaigns that are not only informative but also entertaining and shareable.
• Stay on top of social media trends and leverage them to create shareable and viral content that will make us stand out.
• Respond to messages and comments from our feline friends and their humans in a timely and humorous manner, building meaningful relationships and creating a loyal fanbase.
• Plan and execute social media competitions, giveaways, and promotions that will make our followers meow with laughter and excitement.
• Foster relationships with the dog squad, collaborating on growth strategies.
