Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen.

• You’ll have an understanding of social media metrics to help monitor content performance, and help us track and implement learnings and recommendations to improve our output.
• You’ll be fascinated with social media culture, and enthusiastic about translating messaging into effective, entertaining and engaging content for an online audience.

• Responsible for the day-to-day posting and platform management of OVO’s social media accounts, and supporting the smooth-running of the team to help us meet objectives and grow our channels and community.
