Social Media & Content Executive - Schplendid

Putney, London (4 days in office - 1 day WFH) | £33,000 to £35,000 | Full time

About Schplendid

Schplendid is a direct-to-consumer sofa brand founded by Rohan Blacker, who previously founded Sofa.com and Pooky Lighting. The company has been trading for about a year and is growing fast. The team is small (six people, two of them in marketing), and hands-on, and the Putney office doubles as the brand's showroom.

Social is Schplendid's strongest channel by a distance: close to 80,000 followers on Instagram and over 50,000 on Facebook, with a core audience aged 35 and up. Meta ads also perform well. The content strategy is deliberately authentic and not AI-generated: the founder and team appear regularly on camera, and that has helped build a strong community.

The role

The Head of Marketing currently runs social media day to day alongside her other responsibilities and needs someone to take that on.

This is a step-up role: ideal for someone moving from a junior social media or marketing position into more ownership and responsibility, working closely with Lydia rather than running strategy independently.

The existing strategy is working and this this new hire will keep it running and help it evolve over time.

What you'll be doing

• Plan, create and schedule content across Instagram and Facebook, including carousels, video and stories, in line with the existing strategy.
• Film and edit content in the Putney showroom, working with the founder and wider team, who are regularly and happily on camera.
• Manage day-to-day community engagement: replying to DMs and comments across channels.
• Handle influencer logistics for inbound requests (roughly one to two collaborations a month; demand already exists, so no outreach needed).
• Support Meta ads activity and keep an eye on what's performing.
• Keep the brand's authentic, non-AI content style intact while helping it evolve.

What we're looking for

• Experience running social media day to day, ideally at junior executive level, ready to take on more responsibility.
• A strong creative eye for photo, video and carousel content, and confidence with tools like Canva.
• Comfortable being hands-on with filming and happy working closely with a small, camera-friendly team.
• Enjoys the operational side of social (scheduling, replying, organising) as much as the creative side.
• You don't need to be a trained designer or a high-level strategist. Schplendid is prioritising creative hunger and a willingness to learn over a fully mastered process, so some flexibility on experience is expected.

Location and logistics

• Based at Schplendid's Putney office, four days a week on-site.
• On-site time is needed because the office is also the showroom used for filming.
• Reports Head of Marketing.
• Salary: £33,000 to £35,000 DOE
