## Description

We are looking for a Social Media Manager who will be the strategic, operational, and editorial heartbeat of Formula E's digital output across race weekends, major events and operations for Formula E!

**The Role**

Based in London, you will drive channel delivery, ideation, sign-off processes, content approvals, live event gallery operations, and line management of the Social Media Execs. You will maintain a seamless approval bridge between stakeholders, partners, and trackside crews to ensure all content meets strict brand standards and platform best practices.

**Key Deliverables**

* **Channel Delivery & Editorial Planning:** Lead daily execution across core social platforms (e.g. TikTok, Instagram, X, Threads, Snapchat, YouTube, and Facebook), maintaining an engaging always-on content calendar.
* **Approvals & Risk Governance:** Manage robust sign-off workflows across internal teams and external partners, serving as the final line of defence to eliminate socio-cultural, religious, and political risks across a multi-region global footprint.
* **Live Race Weekend Gallery Operations:** Staff and manage digital gallery workflows from our London broadcast facility during race weekends, directing live race clipping, short-form video optimisation, reactive ideation and real-time publishing.
* **Story Translation & Creative Direction:** Collaborate with the wider team to translate complex sporting, technical, cultural and sustainability stories into platform-native visual posts optimised for best practice and performance.
* **Team Leadership & Analytics:** Line-manage Social Media Execs, oversee community moderation, and partner with the Insights team to evaluate performance data and refine channel growth strategies.

**What We Are Looking For?**

* **Global Social Management & Governance:** Previous experience managing social channels, editorial pipelines, multi-stakeholder sign-offs, and socio-political risk mitigation across a global sports or entertainment brand.
* **Live Event & Gallery Proficiency:** Demonstrated experience in fast-turnaround event publishing, live race clipping (e.g. Slate, WSC Sports, CapCut, Edits, Adobe Creative Suite). Digital gallery experience preferred.
* **Editorial & Platform Mastery:** Outstanding short-form copywriting, platform algorithm savvy, and cultural trend awareness to translate complex stories into viral, native content.
* **Stakeholder Diplomacy & Leadership:** Proven track record in line-managing direct reports, overseeing community moderation, and navigating complex partner and rights-holder workflows with diplomacy and detail.
* **Agile & Decisive Mindset:** Organised, creative, cool under live race-weekend pressure, adaptable across shift patterns, and a collaborative team player in a fast-paced environment with impeccable accuracy.

**Application Process**

The closing date for this role is 6th November 2026, however if we receive a high volume of applications we may close it early.
