About the Role
This role is ideal for someone moving from a junior social media or marketing position into more ownership and responsibility. The existing strategy is working and this new hire will keep it running and help it evolve over time.
Responsibilities
- Plan, create and schedule content across Instagram and Facebook, including carousels, video and stories, in line with the existing strategy.
- Film and edit content in the Putney showroom, working with the founder and wider team.
- Manage day-to-day community engagement: replying to DMs and comments across channels.
- Handle influencer logistics for inbound requests.
- Support Meta ads activity and monitor performance.
- Maintain the brand's authentic, non-AI content style while helping it evolve.
Requirements
- Experience running social media day to day, ideally at junior executive level, ready to take on more responsibility.
- A strong creative eye for photo, video and carousel content.
- Confidence with tools like Canva.
- Comfortable being hands-on with filming.
- Happy working closely with a small, camera-friendly team.
- Enjoys the operational side of social (scheduling, replying, organising) as much as the creative side.
- Prioritises creative hunger and a willingness to learn over a fully mastered process.

About the Company
- Schplendid is a direct-to-consumer sofa brand founded by Rohan Blacker, who previously founded Sofa.com and Pooky Lighting.
- The company has been trading for about a year and is growing fast.
- The team is small (six people, two of them in marketing), and hands-on, and the Putney office doubles as the brand's showroom.
- Social is Schplendid's strongest channel by a distance: close to 80,000 followers on Instagram and over 50,000 on Facebook, with a core audience aged 35 and up.
- Meta ads also perform well.
- The content strategy is deliberately authentic and not AI-generated: the founder and team appear regularly on camera, and that has helped build a strong community.
