Senior Social & Talent Executive

Senior Social & Talent Executive (Hybrid)

Ever wondered who spots the next big trend before it lands… then turns it into content people actually want to share?
The kind of social moments that spark conversation, build love for the brand, and make PizzaExpress feel impossible to ignore?

That could be you.

We’re on the lookout for a Senior Social & Talent Executive to join our Marketing team. In this role, you’ll help shape and deliver our social presence across multiple brands - building relationships with influencers and talent, bringing activations and events to life, and owning the day-to-day running of our channels in line with our strategy.

This is a role for someone who’s equal parts creative and organised - someone who understands the UK social landscape, has a sharp eye for culture and trends, and loves turning big ideas into brilliant execution (with the data to prove what worked).

What you’ll be doing

You’ll help keep PizzaExpress front of mind by delivering scroll-stopping content, smart talent partnerships and standout social activations across the UK & Ireland.

That means you’ll:

• Lead the management and delivery of activations and events, making sure everything lands in line with the approved strategy
• Build and deliver content plans that support campaign activity across talent and our owned channels
• Build and maintain relationships with influencers and talent, helping drive brand love and advocacy
• Come up with strong creative ideas and recommendations for content that works across different media and platforms
• Run real-time community management - responding in our tone of voice, sparking positive conversation, and spotting trends we can jump on
• Support the day-to-day execution of proactive social across multiple owned brands and platforms (including Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter, Threads and TikTok)
• Report and analyse performance, optimising content and campaigns to drive growth against agreed metrics
• Support the PR & Social Media Manager with budgeting and ensuring spend is approved and aligned to plan
• Manage and mentor the Social Executive

What we’re looking for

• Solid experience in social in a fast-moving environment  
• Strong understanding of the UK social media landscape and what drives attention and engagement
• Experience using social scheduling platforms
• A creative mindset and the attention to detail to execute consistently well
• Confidence working with data, able to spot insight, report performance, and optimise accordingly
• Brilliant organisation and project management skills, you can juggle multiple priorities without dropping quality
• Great stakeholder skills, collaborative, proactive, and comfortable working cross-functionally
• Experience in or an understanding of PR is also desirable
