Social Director

Boldspace is seeking a Social Director to lead and grow our social media offering within the Brand Reputation team. This is a senior role, sitting at the heart of the communications function, responsible for driving the strategic growth of our social capabilities while also overseeing delivery across key client accounts.

You will report directly into senior leadership and work alongside the broader communications and creative teams. You’ll guide the development of culturally intelligent, channel-agnostic campaigns that are socially fluent and reputationally aware. You’ll be as comfortable in the boardroom pitching ideas as you are mentoring a team or shaping processes for scale.

This role requires someone who is both a strategic thinker and hands-on leader—able to spot opportunity for growth while ensuring excellence in execution across all current workstreams.
