About Success on Socials

Success on Socials is one of the UK's No.1 creator marketing agencies. We are built to own attention, making brands impossible to ignore. Partnering brands with leading personalities and forge strategies designed to stop the scroll.

That's why we've worked with the your favourite faces and global brands, including Emirates, Omaze, Virgin, MSC, Radisson Blu, By Babes and many more.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to become the founder's right hand, supporting everything from business strategy and operations to new projects and hands-on initiatives. You'll be involved in the day-to-day running and growth of the agency, helping to turn ideas into reality, solve problems and ensure projects move forward.

No two days will look the same. One day you might be researching new business opportunities or improving internal processes, and the next you could be sourcing a new studio space, meeting suppliers, coordinating a project or helping launch a new initiative. We're looking for someone who is resourceful, highly organised and comfortable taking ownership. You'll need to be equally confident working on strategic projects and rolling up your sleeves to get things done.

What You'll Be Doing

• Work closely with the founder to support business operations, strategic priorities and growth initiatives.
• Take ownership of projects from initial idea through to execution, ensuring deadlines and objectives are met.
• Research, source and evaluate potential studio spaces, offices and other locations to support the agency's expansion.
• Coordinate property viewings, liaise with agents and suppliers, compare options and support the setup of new spaces.
• Manage practical projects, including sourcing equipment, coordinating contractors and organising operational requirements.
• Support business development activities, including researching potential clients, identifying commercial opportunities and assisting with proposals.
• Identify opportunities to improve internal systems, processes and operational efficiency.
• Coordinate with internal teams, external partners and suppliers to ensure projects run smoothly.
• Support the founder with business planning, research, reporting and decision-making.
• Manage multiple priorities and take ownership of ad hoc tasks and projects as the business continues to scale.

What We're Looking For

• Experience working in a fast-paced business environment, ideally within an agency, start-up or growing company.
• Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A proactive, resourceful and solutions-focused approach, with a willingness to get involved in both strategic and practical tasks.
• Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in business growth, operations and entrepreneurship.
• Excellent communication skills and confidence liaising with stakeholders, suppliers and external partners.
• Strong research and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate options and make informed recommendations.
• The confidence to work independently, take initiative and see projects through to completion.
• Someone adaptable, detail-oriented and comfortable working in an environment where priorities can change quickly.
• A genuine interest in social media, digital marketing and the creative industry.
