Working as one team, we learn and grow together, celebrating the big and small moments that make every day amazing.

As a Social Media Executive, you will be responsible for creating daily content for our ever-growing number of Currys Social Media channels.

Key Responsibilities:

• Working alongside Social & PR in-house team to independently create content for Currys organic Social channels, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X & Facebook
• Ideating content from start-to-execution independently, finding creative ways to bring the content & shoot to life
• Colleague engagement & advocacy– working closely with Content Creator Manager, stores & internal teams to build a colleague pool of creators
• Independently develop regular content for our other Social accounts (e.g. Gaming + Health & Beauty TikTok) as well as any new store accounts we may choose to launch in the future
• This role would require regular, ad-hoc travel to stores & other shoot locations at short notice, to ensure we’re being as reactive as we need to be with our content – producing and directing colleagues & actors on the day

You will need:

• 1-2 year’s experience creating high-performing organic video & static content for brands (TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook & YouTube)
• Up to date with the latest trends & pop-culture moments – you live & breathe Social, in particular TikTok
• Comfortable appearing on camera where necessary for content
• Outstanding copywriting skills, with wit at the heart of this
• Experience using relevant editing tools, e.g. Premiere Pro, Photoshop & in-app (TikTok, CapCut)
• Can-do attitude – able to react & think outside of the box – we’re looking for someone creative, to help push boundaries!
• Willing & able to travel to shoot locations on short notice on occasion, as well as shooting content at home (equipment & tech will of course be provided)
• Strong relationship-building, stakeholder management & people skills

We know our people are the secret to our success. That's why we're always looking for ways to reward great work. You'll find a host of benefits designed to work for you, including:
