Job description

WE’RE HIRING: Social Media & Marketing Manager

For the brave, the bold, and the values-led.

This isn’t just a marketing job. It’s a digital rebellion against mediocrity.

At Beetroot Consulting, we don’t do waffle. We don’t hide behind jargon, or dress up nothingness with shiny graphics. We’re a small, matriarchal, mighty team helping tech and mission-led organisations actually change things— in systems, in strategy, and in society.

Now, we’re looking for someone to own our voice online. To lead, shape and share our digital presence with creativity, confidence and care.

We’re hiring a Social Media & Marketing Manager to take full ownership of our content, presence and digital storytelling.

This isn’t a junior support role. This is a mid-level, make-it-happen role for someone who’s ready to run with it. Someone who knows how to turn strategy into scroll-stopping content. Someone who can move between bold campaigns and thoughtful threads. Someone who can hold a brand voice like a living thing.

You’ll:

• Own and deliver our social strategy (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube — maybe TikTok)
• Make content that’s clean, warm, clear— and sometimes sharp as hell
• Turn long-form brilliance into short-form gold (threads, carousels, reels)
• Manage campaigns, email content, and digital promotions
• Lead the tone and rhythm of Beetroot online — and help others find their voice too
• Track insights, test ideas, and grow our presence with purpose, not performance anxiety

We don’t recruit based on job titles. We recruit for values, capability, and guts.

You might be a content manager, a digital strategist, a campaigner, or a creative generalist with a social-savvy mind. Either way:

• ️ You’ve got 2+ years experience managing social/digital content
• ️ You write like a human (a smart one) — and you know what good design feels like
• ️ You can plan, produce, and post without hand-holding
• ️ You care about justice, equity, and meaningful change
• ️ You know when to take the brief — and when to break it
• ️ You thrive in creative freedom, but you get s**t done

This is a role for someone who wants their work to matter. Not just perform. Not just trend. But resonate.

We’re a consultancy with radical roots and a reputation for making things happen.

We work with clients across tech, health, public services, social innovation and systems change. We’ve supported teams at Monzo, Red Cross, Catalyst, and public sector orgs who are ready to do the work — not just talk about it.

We are:

• ???? Bold but kind
• ???? Small by design, big on impact

We’re not here to scale endlessly. We’re here to work deeply, intentionally, and in service of real transformation.

A creative, values-led team rooted in care and clarity

Remote-first culture (occasional Manchester meetups)

Strategy ownership and room to experiment

Access to brilliant collaborators across tech + social change

Purposeful work, with long-term sustainability baked in

£28,000 starting salary with performance uplift every 6 months

No long forms. No hoop-jumping. No corporate nonsense.

Just send us:

• A short note, Loom, or voice note about why this role feels right
• Examples of content you’ve created (links or uploads — whatever works)
• A few social accounts you’ve managed (your own or others’)
• A CV or summary of your relevant experience

Need to apply in a different format? We’re open and accessible. Just ask.
