Now, we’re entering an exciting new chapter: expanding The Conqueror while also acquiring and developing new brands worldwide.

Our portfolio spans fitness, wellness, lifestyle, and women’s health DTC businesses such as Enroush, Karu and other emerging global brands.
About the role
We’re looking for a creative and skilled Social Media Manager who can do more than execute - someone who can diagnose, strategise, and grow. Your remit spans two brands. For The Conqueror Challenges - our flagship with 800k+ Instagram and 500k+ Facebook followers, where you will audit what we have, define where we go next, and build the engaging, trend-aware content that goes beyond product launches. For Karu, a brand we are scaling from near-zero, you will own everything: content strategy, content creation or briefing to our creative team, posting, and growth - including building TikTok from scratch.
This is a role for someone who is energised by full ownership, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven by measurable outcomes.
