Senior Social Media Manager

On-site

• Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark

Job description
In your humble opinion, the old Ryanair admin should be president. Duo? Love her. Surreal’s billboards? Hang them in the Louvre. Drake, Bernie, and that guy looking at the girl in the red dress haven’t been on your meme roster for years.

And to top it all off you’re ready to turn your exquisite meme game, vivacious vertical video talents, and delightful copy towards driving a brand forward that makes a real difference to early childhood worldwide.

Sound familiar? Then we want you. We’re looking for a Social Media Manager (yes, you!) to make sure that as many nursery and childcare owners, directors, and parents know that Famly is the only brand to listen to on social.

And who are Famly? We’re on a mission to close the collaboration gap in early childhood. So we’re building the world’s most collaborative Early Childhood Platform - software for the adults in a young child’s life to connect, share their workload, and learn about early childhood. Basically, Famly makes life easier for educators and families so that they can get back to what matters.

By heading up social and content distribution at Famly you’ll be working with our talented team of content creators, designers and copywriters to make Famly the most famous voice in early childhood on social. And oh yes, you’ll be making plenty of social content along the way. You’ll be defining channel strategy, translating our voice, tone and brand strategy to social, and making boatloads of memes. This is an opportunity to really take full mandate of a meaningful company’s social accounts and make them your own.

With regards to location, we’d really love you to join Famly here at our Copenhagen HQ.

And if you're not here already, perhaps you're keen to move to the second happiest country in the world? We can help you with relocating and getting a visa.

What you'll be doing:

• Make, write, shoot and post lots of great content that engages our audience
• Define our channel strategy so we know where we show up and how, including brand and founder/exec accounts
• Define how our approach best suits our different audiences across the US, UK and Germany.
• Exploring influencer relationships and what this could mean for Famly
• Coordinate more ambitious content with our videographer, designer, content creator, and copywriting colleagues
• Work out how we identify, comment, and become a part of the conversations on all the biggest accounts in our space
• Work out how to best handle and operationalise inbound support together with our customer teams
• Share insights and ideas with our content creators based on the conversations and topics you’re seeing on social
• Supporting our content managers to ensure their work is seen by as many people as possible through social
• Supporting in strategy around distribution related to email, influencer, events and more.
• Working with the rest of the brand and comms team on PR strategy for big campaigns
• Staying on top of key social metrics, including reporting to the rest of the marketing team on progress
• No boring B2B SaaS posts please

Job requirements
You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Have 2-4 years working on social, including at least 1 year in a strategical role
• Are a funny, talented copywriter
• Able to shoot, edit and produce short form video shot on phone
• Basic graphic design skills
• Experience setting strategy - and able to think long-term about broader brand objectives online
• Understand and practised on all platforms, including knowing what good looks like
• Make good memes
• Think building a brand on social is everyone’s responsibility and know how to make that happen
• Excellent communicator and relationship builder (read: good at convincing people to film stupid stuff)
• Fundamentally curious and love to ask ‘why’
• Are perennially online
• Are more likely to go too far than not go far enough
• Have a massive bias for action and getting stuff done
• Genuinely excited by creating lasting change in the early education sector and for young children in general
• Ambitious and not afraid to do the work yourself

And it’d be even better if you:

• Have experience or knowledge about early childhood education and childcare

While we’d love someone who has experience in the arena doing this type of work, we appreciate that everyone brings something unique. If you don’t tick every box above, to hell with it - apply anyway. We’d still love to read your application.

And who are Famly?
You’re probably wondering at this stage, and Famly are...? Well, it all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. The paper ‘parent’ books they exchanged once a month just weren’t cutting it. Together with his friend, our co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.

These days, the 150 of us building Famly talk about trying to do one thing. Giving children the best possible start to life. Or rather, making it easier for the 7000 nurseries and childcare centers who use Famly every day to that, on our behalf.

We do it with the world’s first Early Childhood Platform, software that brings hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child’s day while they’re away from them. We also make financial, pedagogical, and planning tools for more than 104,000 childcare professionals in the UK, US, Germany and 15 other countries, saving them hours and reducing their admin stress.

Ultimately, that gives them more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter.

The interview process looks like:

• Interview with a People Partner, Friedrich
• Logical test
• Interview with our Sr. Director Brand & Comms, Matt
• Small case
• Case review and final interview with Matt and our CMO, Signe
• References

You’ll love working here because:

• Competitive pension, private health insurance, and paid maternity/paternity leave.
• A clear career framework and coaching to make sure you’re growing, a $1000 personal development budget and a ‘We’ll buy you any book you want’ policy.
• We’re all about hiring clever people who are good humans too. It means Famly is full of top thinkers and generous teammates waiting to help you shine.
• A value of ‘make your colleagues shine' is all about breaking down silos, celebrating one another, and staying connected across departments, offices, and oceans.
• We like to give a lot of ownership both in terms of responsibility and freedom to try new, challenging tasks.
• Top-notch work equipment (including noise cancelling headphones for those focus periods!).
• A lot of flexibility for you to work in the way (and place) that suits you best, while making sure we maintain a strong in-office connection a handful of days a week too.

We're looking to fill the position as soon as possible, so get your application in today by sending us:

• Your CV and cover letter covering what speaks to you about the role and what you can bring - in any form you like
• Link social accounts (your own or brand accounts you managed) that you’re proud of working on.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
