Social Media & Marketing Manager

£45,000 to £50,000 a year

At Furniture Outlet, we take pride in being one of the UK’s fastest growing furniture brands, with five successful retail stores in East London, South East London and Essex. We are continually growing to meet the demands of our loyal customers and have plans to roll out additional stores across London and the Home Counties. As a company that values excellence and growth, we provide a vibrant and supportive environment for our employees to thrive.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently, can think outside of the box and create new concepts to showcase our product to customer and be an experienced Marketing Manager with strong graphic design and video editing experience.

About the Role:

As our Social Media & Marketing Manager, you’ll be the strategic brain behind how we connect with our community and showcase our stunning collections. You’ll be instrumental in shaping our market communications as we launch new stores and reach thousands of new customers. While this role has a base location of our Basildon head office, the successful candidate will travel frequently to all of our retail outlets across Essex and London to create exceptional and engaging content.

What Your Week Will Look Like:

· Hands on Content Creation: Direct & film engaging product-focused content in-store or in the studio, create platform-specific edits and lead high level brainstorming sessions for the next big campaign.

· On the Go: Regularly working from our retail outlets to get the best content and showcase our stores.

· Strategic Vision: Develop, champion and execute a cutting-edge social media and digital content plan that aligns precisely with our brand voice, visual identity and ambitious business goals. You’ll use your sharp analytical skills to measure performance (engagement, reach, conversions), interpret data and present key strategic insights to our management team.

· Cross-Functional Team Collaboration: Collaborate closely with our Buying and Visual Merchandising teams to ensure our campaigns are perfectly timed and visually optimised for new product launches. You’ll bring your genuine interest in home interiors and trends to guide the aesthetic of all content you create.

· High-Impact Project Management: Beyond day-to-day social media, you’ll manage and direct high-impact projects like filming and producing TV ads, designing eye catching digital billboards and overseeing the production of cohesive signage for our new store openings.

· Team Leader & Mentor: Manage, mentor and grow our marketing team, establishing high standards for consistency and excellence across all platforms.

Responsibilities:

· Direct the strategy and growth of our social media presence across Facebook and Instagram, ensuring engaging, consistent and mission aligned storytelling.

· Creation of high-quality, product-focused content, photos, videos and killer copy, that champions our key selling points: everything in stock now, fast delivery, great quality and unbeatable value.

· Maintain strategic vigilance over social and digital trends, competitor activity and emerging marketing opportunities.

· Own the entire content production lifecycle, managing it confidently from concept to execution.

Skills:

· You’re a leader with a strong visual eye and a drive to create content that stops the scroll. You can think both creatively and strategically, and you’re ready for a hands on, fast-paced leadership environment.

· Minimum 3+ years of proven success in a Marketing/Social Media Leadership Role, developing and executing strategies that genuinely drive engagement and brand awareness and managing direct reports or external creative teams.

· Strong, hands-on experience in content production, including photography, videography and editing (CapCut or similar), with the ability to direct others in these areas.

· A strong graphic design eye and proficiency in creating or directing the creation of visually appealing digital assets using platforms like Canva or similar tools.

· Superior copywriting and editorial direction skills, with the ability to define and maintain a consistent, compelling brand voice across all captions, scripts and communications.

· Confident in interpreting complex data to refine and improve strategy and report ROI to leadership.

· Expert knowledge of social media management tools (Business Suite) and design/editing platforms.

· A genuine interest in home interiors and trends (a big plus!)

· A degree (marketing/media oriented preferred but not necessary).

· Essentials: Full UK Driver’s License (required).

Benefits:
· Casual dress
· Company events
· Company pension
· Employee discount
· Private medical insurance
· On-site parking
· Sick pay

Location: The base location for this role is our Head Office at Phoenix House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon Essex SS14 3EZ. However, this role has a requirement for significant travel to all our retail outlets across Essex and London.

Pay: £45,000 to £50,000 per year depending on experience.
