HIRING: Social Media Manager (Guernsey Only)
Edward & James is a marketing consultancy that helps professional services firms grow through strategy-led marketing and creative execution. We work with clients across law, fintech, compliance, wealth management, accounting and beyond.
Edward & James has grown steadily through word of mouth, strong client relationships and results. With our first hire now in place, this role represents the next stage of growth for the team.
This is a senior hire and a chance to join at the ground floor of a consultancy that already punches above its weight.
The role
We’re looking for a Social Media Manager to join Edward & James on a full-time basis.
This role is predominantly Guernsey-based. You’ll be expected to live in Guernsey as your home and tax base and to work in person with clients where required. That said, we work flexibly. Occasional remote working and extended travel are absolutely fine provided client needs are met.
This is a full-time role but not a clock-watching one. What matters is quality, consistency and delivery.
You’ll own social media strategy and execution across multiple platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok. You’ll work directly with clients, be involved in in-person meetings and play a visible role in shaping how Edward & James delivers social-first marketing.
As the business grows, this role has clear potential to develop into a leadership position including managing other team members.
Key responsibilities
- Social strategy – own and deliver social media strategies for clients and for Edward & James aligned to wider business and marketing goals
- Hands-on execution – plan, create, publish and manage content across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and other relevant platforms
- Content creation – write and produce high-quality posts, captions and creative concepts that balance brand, value and commercial outcomes
- Client management – work directly with clients including in-person meetings, presenting ideas and managing ongoing delivery
- Performance and optimisation – track performance, analyse results and continuously improve content and channel strategy
- Business development support – contribute to relationship-led growth through social presence, credibility and visibility with no hard selling
- Leadership – help shape processes and in time support or manage junior team members as the consultancy grows
About you
This role will suit someone senior, confident and comfortable taking ownership.
You don’t need to tick every box but the strongest candidates will bring:
- Strong experience managing social media channels end to end
- Experience working with clients including in-person collaboration
- Excellent writing skills and a strong instinct for tone and audience
- Hands-on experience across platforms such as LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok
- Agency experience which is a strong advantage
- Comfort working autonomously and making decisions
- Confidence managing stakeholders and in time other team members
If you’re looking for a rigid job description, lots of hierarchy or a narrow remit this probably isn’t the role for you. If you enjoy variety, responsibility and shaping how things are done it likely is.
About me
I’m James, founder of Edward & James.
I’ve built the consultancy around strategy-led marketing that avoids fluff and focuses on impact. I’ve worked across professional and financial services for more than a decade and I hold a PGDip in Digital Marketing and a Mini MBA in Brand Management.
What that means for you is simple. You’ll work directly with me without layers of management and you’ll have real influence over how we work, what we build and where the business goes.
To get a feel for my personality, here are a few things I like:
- Travelling and exploring new cities
- Anything pistachio flavoured, it’s a borderline addiction
- Running, hiking and the outdoors
- Coffee, lots of coffee
- My pug who will almost certainly appear on video calls
- Books that question how we live and work
- Moaning about the weather (I am British after all)
What is on offer
- Salary: £40,000 per year negotiable depending on experience
- Equity participation as part of the long-term growth of the business
- Full-time employment with sensible flexibility
- Guernsey-based role with flexibility for remote work and travel
- Bi-annual bonus tied to company and individual performance
- Health and travel insurance
- Pension
- Access to premium tools and software
- Support for professional development
As we’re a small company, we’re happy to structure a package that works around you, so if there’s something you’d like to change, just ask!
What you can expect
This role has been designed to balance responsibility with flexibility.
You’ll be trusted to own your work, supported by a growing team and encouraged to shape both the role and the wider business. We’re looking for someone who wants to build something long term not just fill a seat.
