This is an in-house vacancy arising from the company’s development as an active retail shop with an existing Google Business Profile, Facebook presence, Instagram activity and a need for regular, professionally managed digital communication with customers. The role is business-specific. It is not a generic office marketing role detached from the company’s operations.

Typical entry route and associated qualifications Most suitable entrants will possess A levels or equivalent and a degree or equivalent qualification. Further professional qualifications in marketing, communications, digital media or related fields may also be relevant. The company will also consider candidates with substantial equivalent professional experience where that experience clearly demonstrates the skill level required for the role. Key duties and responsibilities Discuss business strategy, products, services, promotions and target customer groups with the Director and senior colleagues so that the company’s public-facing communications match real business priorities. Write, edit and arrange the effective publication of social-media content, promotional material, customer updates and public-facing communications for the business’s existing channels, including Instagram, Facebook and the Google Business Profile.

Ensure that any communications touching on regulated or age-sensitive products are handled cautiously and in line with applicable legal and platform restrictions.

At least 2 years’ relevant experience in social-media management, digital communications, public relations, brand-facing content or similar business-facing work.

Experience of managing business social-media accounts, content calendars, engagement reporting and customer interaction.

Why this role is genuine The company already trades from an active premises and already uses public-facing digital channels to support discovery, reputation and customer interaction. The vacancy arises because these functions now require dedicated in-house management and reporting. The role will exist regardless of the nationality of the successful candidate and is required for genuine business reasons.
