• Provide community management support - you'll eagerly be across our social media platforms, with particular attention to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and any other platforms we add to our portfolio to reach, engage and build deeper relationships with our supporters.
• Create unique content - you will be entrusted to plan and produce engaging, informative and innovative content for new and existing channels which meet a variety of briefs from across our club.
• Keep your finger on the cultural pulse - you'll eagerly keep abreast of current and emerging trends and be immersed in wider culture to find authentic ways to bring football, fashion, lifestyle, sport, art and music together in an authentic and meaningful way to reach and engage supporters of the game.
• Leverage insights and use analytical tools - you will be constantly curious to understand the value and performance of our content on social media and uncover what our target audience want to see and how they want to engage with us.
• Act as a proud and trusted ambassador for our club - you'll conduct yourself with the utmost professionalism and discretion and you will passionately represent our values across our content and adopt our tone of voice.
