Social Media Content Creator

A bit about the role.

We are Forest, the bikes that look like trees. We are on the hunt for a Social Media Content Creator who can create fun, imaginative and audacious content to shout about our sustainable and affordable eBikes.

Whilst we've set the bar high with our Gold Bike or THAT price comparison, we know we can go a lot further. We want as many people as possible to hear about Forest and that’s why we need someone who is able to create content that stops traffic (quite literally too, getting more people on our bikes and all that).

You'd be engaging with our users through a range of channels and formats such as posts, shorts, reels, lives, threads, and any other social media related nouns you can think of.

Come join a disruptive start-up in a role which demands creative freedom and has great growth opportunities.

Fancy taking us for a ride? Apply below.

Your key responsibilities include:

1. Working within our in-house marketing team to create and execute a social media and content plan that will increase our brand awareness, engagement rates, positive sentiment, and overall ridership.

2. Create boundary-pushing, attention-grabbing social content across all channels. You’ll create your own Reels, Lives, TikTok and Shorts.

3. Collaborate with our in-house design team to bring your ideas to life.

4. Deliver a fully packed day-to-day calendar of activity across all central social media platforms.

5. Track the performance of activity to be able to build a picture of how our organic channels support business and brand objectives, making improvements where necessary.

6. Lead on community management to swiftly connect and engage with our followers. You’ll be the go-to for social, advising the team and wider business on best practices.

Who you are:  

• You’re a social media expert with 2+ years’ experience in a similar role working with Direct to Consumer brands; ideally in a startup environment.
• You’re passionate about creating content and are active on social media yourself
• You’re resourceful and can make world-class content using just your phone camera
• You’re a great communicator, have a passion for writing and are confident with social captions and responding to our community directly
• You’re naturally curious and want to challenge the status quo by bringing your own ideas to the table
• You want to foster relationships with customers by leading creative campaigns and physical activations and events
• You love the HumanForest brand and cycling!

What you will get in return:

• Competitive compensation plan and Employee Equity Options.
• Private Health Insurance and Pension Contributions.
• HumanForest eBike minutes allowance
• Birthday day off plus 25 days holiday
• Super cool office in Moorgate (expected to work from office 4 days per week)
