Location: London
Reports to: Head of Talent and Strategic Partnerships
ABOUT US:
Hungry Bear Media is an award winning, independent production company that has become one of the driving forces in UK entertainment. Since 2014, we’ve grown from a small London start up into one of the UK’s most in demand production companies, with studios in London and Glasgow and a slate of industry leading productions, with brilliant talent both on and off screen creating the best content.
We’re proudly, truly independent, and that independence is what lets us stay talent-first, move fast, and champion bold ideas and the people behind them.
Our culture matters as much as our output. We’re a diverse, inclusive team, and we actively encourage applications from under represented backgrounds.
We’re now looking to supercharge our Digital division and want to grow our exceptional team with people who are passionate about creating social media content that will ultimately help grow our audiences across all platforms and build our YouTube channels. If you want to work on content that genuinely matters to millions of people, this is the role for you.
THE ROLE:
To own and elevate our social media presence across all key platforms, leading strategy, producing content, and managing the day to day, ensuring our brands and talent show up with authority, creativity, and commercial impact across every channel.
This is a hands on role that requires strategic thinking and strong judgement as the work is high profile and visible to huge audiences. You will set the strategic direction and roll up your sleeves to execute it: scripting, shooting, editing, captioning, and publishing all to an exceptional standard. The role is ideal for an experienced social media producer ready to take on more strategic responsibility, but who wants to remain hands on with all aspects of delivery. There is real excitement about the potential of this role, and the right person will be driven to find the best ways to grow it.
OUTCOMES:
- Platform dominance: Build and maintain a compelling, consistent presence across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, growing audience, engagement, and reach in line with agreed targets.
- Content excellence: Produce short and long-form social content, clips, reels, stories, carousels, stills, that is platform native, on brand, and audience first (you will have edit support).
- Strategic leadership: Develop and own the monthly content calendar, aligned to talent schedules, editorial priorities, and campaign moments.
- Performance intelligence: Track and report on KPIs, using data to continuously iterate, improve, and inform creative decisions.
- Talent stewardship: Understand how to present high profile talent at their best, protecting reputation while maximising reach and authenticity.
DAY TO DAY
- Lead and manage all social media channels, primarily Instagram, with active presence across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook.
- Develop platform specific content strategies rooted in audience insight and performance data.
- Script, shoot and edit short-form video content, including on location shoots with talent, behind the scenes, interview clips, and reactive content.
- Write compelling, on brand captions and copy across all platforms.
- Plan and manage the content calendar, coordinating with internal teams around key editorial and talent moments.
- Monitor trends, emerging formats, and platform algorithm changes, bringing proactive recommendations to the team.
- Own social analytics and reporting: track performance weekly, translate data into clear insights, and adjust strategy accordingly.
- Manage community engagement, maintaining brand voice in comments, DMs, and responses.
- Collaborate closely with production, talent management, PR, and partnerships teams to ensure social is fully integrated into wider brand activity.
- Brief and manage external freelance support (editors, videographers, designers) when required.

- You bring strategic thinking and creative energy in equal measure.
- You are calm under pressure, highly organised, and able to manage competing priorities without dropping the ball.
