The role

We're looking for a Social Media Assistant to join Dazed. This is an entry-level role focused on the operational execution of our social output: organising the content schedule, coordinating across teams, and keeping publishing running smoothly day to day.

You'll be highly organised, comfortable managing several projects at once, and able to respond calmly to ad hoc requests from across the business, with a strong instinct for Dazed's brand identity and tone of voice.

Duties and responsibilities

• Carry out day-to-day operations across the social teams directed by the Content Strategy Director
• Assist with maintaining the content schedule, keeping it accurate and up to date across all channels
• Create and publish content across social channels, including @dazed, @dazedfashion and @dazedbeauty
• Coordinate co-branded content going live across channels, liaising with the Dazed Studio team where needed
• Keep the schedule aligned with what's in production, working with the Video Coordinator and Senior Content Producer
• Handle a range of administrative duties, including meeting notes, actions and general scheduling
• Respond to ad hoc requests from across the business, prioritising effectively
• Stay across the cultural calendar and feed relevant moments back to the social and editorial teams
• Support content and talent research

Desired skills and experience

• Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once
• Comfortable working with project management tools such as Asana, or quick to pick them up
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including accurate, well-spelt copy
• Strong understanding of the social media landscape, digital journalism and internet culture
• Good knowledge of Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Pinterest
• Basic knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, XD and Premiere Pro preferred
• A friendly, diplomatic and collaborative approach to working with others
• Calm and adaptable under pressure, with the ability to reprioritise as demands shift through the day
• Prior experience in a digital environment is a plus, but not essential

These duties and responsibilities are indicative and not exhaustive but serve to give a realistic overview of the role and requirements. The company reserves the right to change this role description in response to the changing needs of the business.
