4. Experience of collaboration with a wider integrated team.

Past Experiences:

1. A passion and understanding of social platforms - creating and curating content on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and YouTube.
2. Boast a strong online presence with a track record of crafting engaging content and knowledge of what works on different channels.
3. Proficiency in wielding creative tools and platforms, from Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator to Canva and everything new that the ad-tech/production-tech world throws our way.
4. Fluent in the distinct content styles of various social media platforms.
5. A portfolio of similar social creative work to be able to demonstrate your experience and knowledge.
6. Experience working with or for high profile consumer brands - beauty experience would be particularly advantageous.

Perks of the job:

1. As well as the more standard benefits of holiday, pension, private medical insurance, life assurance and group income protection we offer:
2. Three 'Time Well Taken' days throughout the year where we switch off collectively.
3. On-demand 1:1 mental health and coaching support through MyndUp (alongside a free Headspace membership).
4. A hybrid way of working with 3 days a week in the office.
5. Subsidised on-site massages, haircuts and manicures as well as cuddles from furry friends (we're a dog friendly office).
6. Free onsite breakfast, snacks and drinks with regular 'Lounge Nights' in the office rooftop social space.
7. Lots of tools to help us grow from SPARK (our internal L&D platform) to LinkedIn Learning, as well as external opportunities with NABS, WACL and the IPA, amongst others.
8. Your birthday off - because who wants to work on their birthday?
9. A tree planted in your name for every year you celebrate your McCanniversary.
10. A Cycle to Work scheme and facilities including showers and hair styling appliances (no helmet hair round here).
11. Discounts with partners such as Eataly, Merlin and cinemas as well as access to independent financial advice.
