Part-time Social Media Manager

A fast-growing functional fitness events brand is looking for a part-time, freelance Social Media Manager to take ownership of its social channels and email marketing. Working closely with the Founder, the successful candidate will turn existing content into engaging, community-led social output, help shape the brand’s social strategy as it grows, and join the team at events when required. This role suits someone who lives and breathes functional fitness, CrossFit and the competition scene, and who understands what makes that community tick.

They're a functional fitness events brand that bring teams together from across the world to throw down in destination events where the workouts are serious but the atmosphere is epic. Their athletes, volunteers, judges and brand partners are at the heart of everything they do. They're still a small, Founder-led team, which means everyone who joins us has real influence on where the brand goes next.

● Hours: part-time, 15 hours per week

● Pay: freelance fee, up to £1,500 per month

● Remote with international travel opportunities!

● Must be interested in CrossFit/functional fitness!

This is a chance to become the voice of an exciting brand within the functional fitness competition space at an early stage in its growth. The successful candidate will work directly with the Founder, have genuine input into the social strategy, and see the impact of their work at live events. The flexible, remote set-up makes it a strong fit for an experienced freelancer looking to add a passion-led client to their portfolio.
