WE'RE HIRING: PART-TIME SOCIAL MEDIA & MARKETING MANAGER
Brighton | 2/3 days a week | 27K-32K FTE (pro rata)

ABOUT JOINT LIVING

Are you tapped into student culture and know how to turn content into conversions? Joint Living is Brighton's leading student lettings digital agency, growing fast with a big mission to do things in a way that's ethical, inclusive, and refreshingly different.

We're not your standard lettings agency. Founded by property professionals who saw how poor the student housing experience could be, Joint Living was created to do better -- with better homes, better service, and better contracts. We offer all-inclusive rents and individual tenancies that protect our tenants from being liable for housemates they've just met. It's a model that's proven popular with students, parents, and universities alike -- and it's helped us become the top recommended provider for Sussex, Brighton, BIMM, and Waterbear Universities.

With a strong digital-first approach and a team culture that values creativity and collaboration, we're building a brand that students actually trust. If you're looking to put your social media skills to work in a fast-paced, high-impact role -- this could be the one.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a strategic and creative Social Media Manager who understands the student and youth market. You'll be the driving force behind our content and paid campaigns -- helping us grow our audience, engage prospective tenants, and find students their perfect home.

One week you might be filming a "day in the life" Reel with one of our student ambassadors, the next you're planning a TikTok campaign and launching a flash promo on Meta. You'll work closely with our leadership team and have real freedom to shape and execute the strategy.

YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Plan and publish content across TikTok, Instagram, and Meta that resonates with students and converts interest into leads Create and manage paid social campaigns (Meta Ads, TikTok, Google Ads), always testing and optimising for performance Capture and edit short-form videos -- from room tours to testimonials to lifestyle content Collaborate and manage student influencers and ambassadors to amplify our reach Track key metrics and performance data -- and use it to make smart decisions Stay ahead of social trends, pitch fresh content ideas, and bring them to life with style
