What you need

  • Substantial experience in social, digital or commerce strategy – typically 7+ years, with meaningful time spent on social commerce specifically, agency or brand side.
  • Genuine commercial fluency: comfortable building and defending a channel P&L, unit economics and a forecast.
  • Demonstrable experience setting KPIs and being held to them – you have owned the performance of a channel or programme, not just the plan for it.
  • Deep, current expertise across social platforms and their commerce ecosystems, with hands-on TikTok Shop experience strongly preferred, alongside Meta.
  • Experience designing operating models and launching or scaling a social commerce programme, ideally across more than one market.
  • Experience line-managing or formally mentoring strategists, and raising the standard of a team rather than only your own output.

Nice to have

  • Experience in consumer packaged goods or a related sector (personal care, household, food & beverage) is highly desirable.
  • Experience with retail media and marketplace channels (Amazon, Tesco and other grocers) and how they coexist with social commerce.
  • Experience with social listening and analytics platforms (Sprinklr, Brandwatch, NetBase Quid, Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics).
  • Experience with social advertising and commerce platforms (TikTok Ads Manager, Meta Ads Manager, GMV Max) and affiliate or creator management tooling.
  • Working knowledge of ecommerce and fulfilment infrastructure – Shopify, Commercetools, 3PL models and the operational realities behind them.

What you get

  • Discretionary bonus scheme
  • Training opportunities
  • Competitive pension
  • Medical insurance
  • Life assurance
  • Social events

Worth weighing

  • No salary listed in the posting.
  • The role requires significant experience in social commerce, which may limit applicants without a strong background in this area.
  • The position involves managing a team, which may not suit candidates looking for individual contributor roles.
  • The focus on TikTok Shop suggests a need for adaptability to rapidly changing social commerce landscapes.
