Account Manager (Social Media)

£34,000 to £38,000 a year, full time. This is a fully remote position for candidates based in the UK.

Closing date: Thursday 15 October 2026

The role

You'll take full ownership of social media for five or six Planet 9 clients, from strategy and monthly content planning to shoot briefs, reporting and the client relationship itself. You'll be the person they talk to, and the person who decides what's published.

You'll work closely with Jess on creative and editing, and with our paid team whenever organic content is boosted with budget. You'll deal with clients directly, with nobody in between.
