WHO WE ARE
Bed Head was born to be bold. From the club to the salon to the streets, we've always been loud, unapologetic, and ahead of the curve. Now we're rewriting the rules of social, and we need a disruptive, culture-obsessed, algorithm-hacking Social Media pro to lead the charge.

THE ROLE
This isn't your standard social media job. We're looking for a digital renegade with a sixth sense for trends, a killer creative instinct, and the guts to challenge the norm. You'll take charge of our social presence globally, focusing on the US and UK, working closely with our global marketing team to execute a social-first strategy that drives relevance, reach, and radical engagement.
You won't just "post and hope." You'll own the algorithm, hijack trends before they peak, and turn scrolls into sales.

• Lead the end-to-end social strategy and day to day channel management for Bed Head across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and emerging platforms (US & UK focus)

• You won't just write copy. You'll create the content (planning, shooting, captioning) that will shape conversations, drive clicks, and champion creativity.
• Own and activate the brand's social content calendar.
• Analyze data, break the algorithm, and rebuild it in our image on a test-and-learn streak.
• Collaborate with creators, hair stylists, disruptors, and rebels to amplify our voice.
• Set the tone for a brand that builds a community of likeminded people.
• Turn trends into campaigns and memes into movement.

• Build and manage a community of like-minded hair lovers across the world.

Marketing

• Work cross-functionally with key stakeholders (e.g. creative and media agencies, marketing, commercial, CMI) to ensure projects are delivered on time and effectively
• Monitor benchmarks for measuring impact of social programmes & analyse effectiveness to maximise results
• Monitor and report on social budgets and KPIs
• In partnership with Head of Brand in US and UK, manage the overarching marketing calendar to drive alignment across global markets

WHO YOU ARE

• A social-first content assassin with 4+ years of experience (agency or brand)
• Deep understanding of Gen Z, digital culture, and what makes TikTok tick
• Obsessed with short-form video and native storytelling
• Extremely Creative - but data fluent. You know what works and why.
• You're not just good with people - you're great with planning - you know your way around social planning tools.
• Has a global mindset and can work across time zones.
• Comfortable moving fast, making bold calls, and owning the outcome.
