The Role

This is a hybrid position, meaning you can split your time between working remotely and at our studio in Newport, South Wales. But if you prefer to be in the office each day we totally support that!


We believe in flexibility, so while the role is 16 hours per week, there’s room to grow your hours as the business expands.


As a key part of our team, you’ll be involved in both social media marketing for Octopod and our clients, and business operations, making this a varied and hands-on role where no two days look the same.

  • Engaging with online communities, responding to comments and messages to help grow client audiences

  • Tracking insights and reporting on performance to fine-tune strategies

  • A strong writer who can adapt tone and style for different brands

  • Super organised, with great attention to detail

  • Comfortable juggling multiple projects and clients

  • Someone with a keen eye for social trends and what works online

  • A proactive, creative, and adaptable approach


Bonus Points If You Have:

We’re a startup, and this is an exciting time to join. As we grow, there’s plenty of room to develop within the business, take on more responsibility, and shape the role as we evolve. If you’re looking for a role where you can make an impact, grow your skills, and be part of something from the ground up, this is it.
