• Assist management in reviewing reports received from external media agencies, including V8 Media, and follow up on outstanding actions.
• Track customer enquiries and leads generated from social-media campaigns and ensure they are correctly recorded in the relevant system.
• Assist with basic community management by responding professionally to customer messages, comments and enquiries or routing them to the correct team.
• Identify high-performing content and support the development of new variations for testing.
• Prepare concise weekly reports showing campaigns run, content produced, advertising activity, leads, engagement and actions required.

• Strong computer skills, including Excel or Google Sheets, Canva and presentation tools.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow instructions accurately.
• Interest in sales, products, advertising performance and customer behaviour.
• A portfolio, social-media page, campaign example, video samples or other evidence of practical work is highly advantageous.
• Must be eager to learn, open to feedback, organised and able to work under pressure.

What will make you successful

• You are curious about why customers buy, click, enquire or ignore an advert.
• You can create clean, engaging product content without needing constant supervision.
