  • You will convert business and brand objectives into social campaigns and activations, influencers, and partnerships, working alongside the Content team and other internal teams to take them from idea to execution.

  • You will lead the influencer marketing strategy, from searching for and selecting profiles to negotiation, briefing, and monitoring collaborations.

  • You will put the customer at the center, converting their real experiences with Octopus into stories and content that help show what it is like to be part of our community.

  • You will bring our sponsorships, festivals, events, and partnerships to life on social media, ensuring that every physical activation also has a story to tell digitally.
