About Us
Five To Nine is a social media agency working with some of the UK’s most celebrated founders, creators and leaders. We believe in scaling authority without compromising integrity. That means no posting for posting’s sake – everything has a purpose.
This new role, and our first full-time hire, sits across the business and works closely with Nicole, our Founder, to support our clients and increase our impact in the industry. Nicole has trained thousands of business owners worldwide, partnered with global brands and built a community of ambitious business owners who are becoming more visible and influential online. Now, we want to help even more founders and creators build meaningful, sustainable visibility.
We're looking for a social media obsessive to help take our work even further. Join a growing company that's helping some of the UK's most exciting founders make themselves known to an even bigger audience.
About the Role
We're looking for a Social Media Executive who can take ours and our clients' online presence to the next level. You'll play a huge role in shaping how both our Founder, Nicole, and our clients show up online, building social media presences that people connect with, trust and want to be part of. Your focus will be on creating content that drives conversations, builds communities and helps our clients become known for what they do.
What might a typical week look like?
25% writing very good content for LinkedIn
15% filming and capturing footage in-person (usually in London but sometimes global!)
10% strategy and planning alongside Nicole to grow our client brands bigger + bigger
10% community management - getting in the comments and DMs for our clients
10% reporting, systems and administration (bc data is where all good strategy begins)

Edit 10–12 short-form videos per week across multiple client accounts.
Create platform-specific content for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Bring fresh ideas that improve our content, processes and client experience.
Support with content strategy and brand partnership opportunities for clients.
Keep your finger on the pulse of social media and the creator economy.
Community Management
Engage with our clients' communities by replying, connecting and making people feel seen.

What Success Looks Like
Success in your first six months could look like:
Delivering client content consistently and on time.
Improving content performance through testing and iteration.
Taking ownership of content calendars and posting.
Building trusted relationships with clients.
Contributing ideas that improve our processes and creative output.
Becoming a reliable, proactive member of a small, high-performing team.
About You
No formal qualifications or specific number of years of experience are required. We care far more about what you can do than what's on your CV.
This role may be for you if you:
Have strong editing skills using CapCut and an eye for storytelling through video.
Feel confident in your writing skills and know how to create LinkedIn content that makes people think, feel and take action.
Understand that every platform is different and know how to adapt content accordingly.
Take initiative and don't wait to be told every next step.
Enjoy solving problems and figuring things out independently.
Are highly organised and comfortable juggling multiple projects.
Have a genuine interest in founders, business and personal branding.
Love social media enough that you're naturally paying attention to what's working.
Care deeply about quality and notice the small details.
Are excited by an ambitious, creative environment where things evolve quickly.
Want to grow your skills as part of a small, supportive and high-performing team.
Bonus points if you:
Have grown your own social media account.
Have edited content that has reached 100k+ views.
Have worked with founders, creators or personal brands.
Have experience managing brand partnerships.
Have basic design skills in Canva.
Note From Founder:
This role isn't for someone looking for a highly structured corporate environment.
This is a small, ambitious team, which means you'll have ownership, variety and the opportunity to shape how we work. Things move quickly, priorities can change, and we're looking for someone who finds that exciting rather than overwhelming.
We move quickly and hold ourselves to high standards, but we look out for one another. We believe in not cutting corners and always ask ourselves how we can add extra surprise and delight for both our clients and their communities.
You'll have space to experiment, learn and take ownership of projects that matter.
