The Role

What You'll Do

• Own the social and content strategy: lead the ideation, development and delivery of paid and organic content strategy across Millie Moon, Rascals, Hey Tiger, Night Pants and beyond.
• Ideate brand campaigns: come up with campaigns that line up with brand marketing objectives and goals across every brand in the portfolio.
• Direct creative delivery: review creative team edits, give feedback, and champion creative excellence from concept through to final asset.
• Alignment: work with Senior Brand Marketing, Design, Digital and Brand Engagement leaders and the Executive Creative Director to keep every campaign aligned to the wider brand vision.
• Lead the team. Grow and develop a team of 5+ social and creative talents, setting clear expectations and running performance and development conversations.

• Report and benchmark: run regular reporting and competitive content reviews, keeping the portfolio ahead on trends and platforms.
• Support localisation: work with market leaders to adapt content, requests and campaigns for each market and plan.

What You Bring

Skills & Experience

• 8+ years in social, content or digital creative, including leading a social/content or creative team inside a social-first business.
• A related brand background: experience with baby, parenting, FMCG or family-first brands, in-house or agency, is essential.
• A track record setting strategy: you've set paid social content strategy and optimised creative against media performance data before.
• Hands-on platform expertise: Meta, TikTok and YouTube are your second language, including platform analytics.
• Scaled video and static direction: experience directing content at scale across multiple markets, including localised adaptations.

Leadership & Mindset

• A team builder: you mentor and grow intermediate and junior talent, and you're comfortable owning performance and development conversations.
• Process-minded: you document and embed best practice so the team runs on process, not chaos.
• Culturally switched-on: you spot trends and platform shifts before they show up in a report.
• Standards-obsessed: you set the creative bar for the portfolio and hold every piece of work to it, including your own.

Why ZURU

• A multi-brand portfolio: you'll set the creative and content direction for five of ZURU's fastest-growing baby brands, reaching parents and caregivers globally.
• Build and lead the team: a team of 5+ to grow, mentor and shape. You'll be leading people from day one, not just owning campaigns.
• A seat at the top table: you'll have a direct line to the Executive Creative Director and Senior Marketing leaders. Your creative point of view shapes brand decisions, not just content.
