Social Media Manager
London
Permanent | Full Time (Hybrid)
At QBE, our purpose is to enable a more resilient future.
We are an international insurer and reinsurer with a local presence in 27 countries. As our business continues to evolve, so does the way we connect with our customers, partners, employees and communities.
The opportunity
We're looking for a strategic, ambitious and commercially-minded Social Media Manager to transform and elevate QBE's social media presence across our International business.
Joining our Digital Marketing team and wider Marketing & Communications function, you'll take ownership of our organic social media strategy, setting the vision, standards and direction for how QBE shows up across channels. While LinkedIn will be your primary focus, you'll have the opportunity to shape our future social media landscape and identify new opportunities for growth across emerging platforms.
This is a rare opportunity to build, influence and create lasting impact on a global brand. If you're someone who sees beyond likes and impressions and is excited by strategy, governance, storytelling, innovation and transformation, we'd love to hear from you.
Having the right to work in the UK is a requirement for this role. QBE may consider sponsorship at its discretion.
Your new role
Reporting to the Head of Digital Marketing, you'll own QBE's organic social media channels end-to-end, defining strategy, governance, content direction and performance measurement across multiple regions and markets.
Working closely with marketing, communications, business leaders and external partners, you'll establish a more consistent, audience-led and impactful approach to social media which strengthens QBE's brand, reputation and commercial objectives.
Main responsibilities:
You're a strategic thinker as much as a social media expert. You're excited by the challenge of transforming and evolving a social media presence, bringing structure where needed while inspiring others with a clear vision for what's possible.
You'll be comfortable influencing senior stakeholders, navigating complexity and taking ownership of a highly visible channel. Most importantly, you'll care deeply about quality, consistency and delivering work that reflects the strength of our brand.
Skills you'll need:
We offer a range of benefits to help provide holistic support for your work life, whatever your circumstances. As a QBE employee you will have access to and benefit from:
30 days holiday a year with the option to buy up to 2 additional days.
Flexible working - balancing work and life is important so our flexible working opportunities are open to all, this can include part-time, job share and compressed hours.
Pension – you are automatically enrolled into the QBE pension plan, which entitles you to receive employer contributions of 10% of your basic salary.
Private medical insurance – we fund fully comprehensive private medical cover for you and all the family.
Family friendly policies – we offer 26 weeks leave at full pay regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation or how you become a parent.
Short term remote work abroad - you can request up to 20 days per year to work remotely from certain locations abroad.
Sustainable investing - we believe sustainable integration is important for long term financial, environmental, and social outcomes. Our pension strategy supports our net-zero goal to achieve year-on-year reductions in carbon footprint, by investing more in green businesses than the broader market, so your savings are looking after the planet's future, as well as your own.
Cycle-to-Work – benefit from regular exercise whilst making your commute greener and cheaper, select and bike and/or accessories up to the value of £5,000.
