About Techne Agency

Techne Agency is a boutique digital marketing agency specialising in social media, content creation, influencer marketing, paid advertising, e-commerce and SEO. We work with premium, hospitality, luxury and lifestyle brands, delivering high-quality content and influencer-led campaigns across international markets. We operate as a lean, high-trust team where ownership, initiative and problem-solving are valued as much as execution.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Social Account Manager to join our growing social and influencer team. This is a hands-on, client-facing role spanning social media, content and influencer marketing. You will own the day-to-day delivery of selected client accounts, driving work forward from planning and creative development through to delivery and reporting.

Content is a key part of the role. You will shape briefs and creative ideas, direct social-first content and play an active role in productions and shoots. You will also bring strong influencer experience and a good instinct for identifying the right creators for different brands, audiences and briefs.

You will work closely with the Social & Influencer Lead, who owns overall strategy, direction and client relationships. Within that direction, you will be trusted to manage day-to-day account delivery, make decisions and keep work moving.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive the day-to-day delivery of selected client accounts across social media, content and influencer activity.

• Keep work moving across internal teams, clients, creators and external partners, ensuring priorities and deadlines stay on track.

• Bring a strong social and creative perspective to day-to-day account decisions.

• Maintain a high standard of execution across all client-facing work.

• Take ownership within your remit, proactively solving problems and escalating where senior input is required.

Client & Account Management

• Support day-to-day client communication relating to delivery, requests, feedback and priorities.

• Keep clients and internal teams aligned on timelines, actions and next steps.

• Lead day-to-day account updates and contribute ideas and recommendations to client conversations.

• Anticipate and resolve delivery issues, escalating to the Social & Influencer Lead when required.

Social Media & Content Delivery

• Build and manage social media content calendars across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and other relevant platforms.

• Write captions and post copy in line with brand tone of voice and guidelines.

• Brief designers, editors and creators with clear creative direction and required outputs.

• Lead content reviews and approvals, maintaining quality and consistency through to final delivery.

Content Scheduling & Publishing

• Oversee the scheduling and publishing of approved content with support from the social team.

• Quality-check formatting, tagging, captions, links and assets before content goes live.

• Ensure publishing is accurate, consistent and delivered to schedule.

Content Creation, Production & Shoots

• Create and edit short-form social content, including Reels, TikTok-style edits and Stories.

• Plan content production, creative briefs, production decks, schedules and shot lists.

• Take an active role on shoots across filming, social-first capture and content direction.

• Apply a strong creative eye across composition, styling, framing and execution, working with designers, editors and freelancers where required.

Influencer Marketing

• Identify and recommend influencers and creators based on the client, campaign brief, audience, market and brand fit.

• Manage outreach, briefing and coordination with influencers and creators.

• Oversee campaign deliverables, timelines, content submissions and approvals.

• Ensure creator content meets brand guidelines and campaign objectives.

Community Oversight

• Oversee comments, messages, mentions and audience sentiment across managed accounts.

• Guide community responses in line with brand guidelines and escalate sensitive issues where required.

• Identify valuable user-generated content and community interactions.

• Develop ideas to nurture communities, encourage conversation and strengthen audience engagement.

Performance & Reporting

• Produce regular social media reports across selected client accounts.

• Analyse engagement, reach, audience growth and content performance.

• Turn performance into clear insights and recommendations for clients and the wider team.

• Apply those learnings to future content, creative and platform decisions.

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• At least 2 years’ agency experience across social media, content and client account management.

• Strong understanding of social-first content, particularly short-form video, with hands-on experience using tools such as CapCut, Canva, Premiere Pro, Final Cut or similar.

• Proven influencer marketing experience, including creator sourcing, selection, outreach, briefing and campaign delivery.

• A strong instinct for identifying the right influencers and creators for different brands, audiences and briefs.

• Experience working with hospitality, luxury or lifestyle brands.

• Confidence working directly with clients and managing multiple accounts, projects, deadlines and stakeholders.

• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and flexibility to travel across Europe and the Middle East for shoots when required.

Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with AI tools and efficient workflows for content creation and editing.

• Basic design skills or experience working closely with designers.

• Experience working across international or multi-market social accounts.

How You’ll Work

• You will report directly to the Social & Influencer Lead.

• You will collaborate closely with the wider social, content and influencer team.

• You’ll be trusted to manage your workload independently while knowing when to escalate or ask for support.

Why Join Techne

• Work on high-profile, international hospitality and luxury clients.

• Be hands-on with real content production, not just scheduling.

• Learn directly from senior leadership in a growing agency.

• Gain exposure across social strategy, influencer marketing and content production.

• Remote-first setup with meaningful on-site work where it adds value.

  A Note on the Role

  This role is designed for someone who wants to progress quickly.

  You’ll have meaningful responsibility from the outset, with guidance from the Social & Influencer Lead. As you grow in confidence and capability, there will be opportunities to take on more complex accounts, greater responsibility and an expanded role within the agency.

  We value initiative, good judgement and people who take ownership, solve problems and keep work moving.
