Job Description: Social Media Manager
📍 Edinburgh (Hybrid) | ✨ Full-Time
Sunshine is a social-first creative agency helping brands shine online by turning cultural insights and platform trends into content strategies that make people actually care about.
What we're looking for...
We’re looking for a Social Media Manager who’s obsessed with social, plugged into culture, and ready to help us create work that earns attention. You’ll work closely with our creatives, content creators and strategists to shape ideas and campaigns that people want to interact with. If you want to have more influence, move faster, and see your ideas come to life, you’ll love it here. We pride ourselves on our collaborative culture where everyone’s voice counts.
If you’re always spotting trends before they happen, thinking of ways to turn things into memes, and often find yourself down a rabbit hole of comment threads – then you might just have found your people.

On top of that you’ll be trend hunting, looking for reactive opportunities across channels, owning content calendars and monitoring performance, running paid social campaigns, and looking for valuable insights to share with our creatives as part of our reports for clients.
