Social Media Manager

Meta Media Group is seeking a motivated early-career social media professional to help shape and deliver the global social media presence of its core arts titles, including ArtReview, ArtReview Asia and The Art Journal.

This role is designed for a recent graduate or junior candidate who is looking to build a long-term career in social media editorial and to understand how it connects to traditional publishing. 

The successful candidate will be fluent in social media and can suggest and execute new ways to bridge editorial and audience engagement, grow reach and increase visibility across multiple platforms and regions. 

The successful candidate will be a core part of the digital team and reports to ArtReview’s Senior Digital Editor.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the planning and implementation of editorial social media content across Meta Media’s arts titles, including ArtReview, ArtReview Asia and The Art Journal.
• Platforms include Facebook, Instagram, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky and TikTok, with a particular focus on vertical video.
• Assist in developing and refining platform-specific approaches that maximise reach and engagement while maintaining each title’s distinctive editorial tone.
• Adapt and post content from print and online editions for global audiences, helping to drive visibility and traffic.
• Support the planning and delivery of paid campaigns (with guidance), including setting objectives and reviewing performance.
• Create simple social graphics, short videos and moving-image assets where needed.
• Track basic performance and engagement data, learning how to optimise posting schedules and formats in line with editorial goals.
• Prepare short weekly social performance notes and insights for the editorial team.

Candidate Requirements:

• You have some direct experience working with social media — ideally in publishing, media or the cultural sector — and are keen to build on it.
• You have an interest in contemporary art and are willing to develop a greater understanding of the artworld.
• You have some familiarity with developing organic social content and are interested in learning more about paid strategy and optimisation.
• You are comfortable looking at basic analytics and keen to develop stronger skills in interpreting data.
• You have a good visual eye and some experience using simple design or video tools.
