About the role

What the job is, in plain words.

As our Social Media Manager, you’ll lead how Belong shows up on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. You’ll set the plan, keep our voice warm and consistent, and turn followers into a community that trusts us with their homes.

You’ll own the content calendar and work hand in hand with our Content & Social Media Creator on shoots, reels and stories. You’ll look after comments and messages, run campaigns and collaborations, and pass every home enquiry to the right person the same day.

You’ll measure what works, report it simply and keep improving. You’ll work closely with the founders, our designers and our Business Development Manager, so what we share helps families and helps Belong grow.
