Social Media Manager

This is the social media role you’ve been waiting for. A chance to take the reins, build something truly exciting, and bring a fresh content strategy to life. If you’re a creative, strategic, and data-savvy social media expert who thrives on crafting thumb-stopping content, driving engagement, and making a real impact—this one’s for you.

About the Role

We’re on the hunt for a Social Media Manager who doesn’t just ‘get’ social but lives and breathes it. You’ll be leading the charge in shaping and executing a bold new content strategy, turning our social platforms into dynamic, engaging, and inspiring spaces that connect with audiences in fresh and meaningful ways.

This isn’t just about managing feeds—it’s about pushing creative boundaries, testing new ideas, and building an engaged community that amplifies our mission. From storytelling and influencer collaborations to innovative content formats and data-driven growth, you’ll have the freedom (and the support) to make big moves.

Why This Role is a Game-Changer

It’s an exciting time to be in marketing at Save the Children. This is a rare full-time, permanent opportunity in our brand new Melbourne CBD head office* to take a well-known brand’s social media presence to the next level. You’ll have the autonomy to set the direction, backed by a team of passionate marketers who believe in shaking things up. It’s also a chance to work for an organisation making a real impact—helping children here in Australia and around the world.
