SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER

Artist-Focused · Strategy-Led · Full-Time · In-Office · Reigate, Surrey

Salary: 28,000 - 35,000 p/a (depending on experience)

About Blinding Talent
Blinding Talent is a specialist music industry partner working with independent artists who take their careers seriously. We provide strategic support across artist management, release performance, and long-term audience growth - without labels, shortcuts, or ownership grabs.

Our work sits between creativity and strategy. We value clarity, intent, and consistency over noise.

The Role
We’re looking for a Social Media Manager who understands that social media is not about trends or virality - it’s about alignment.

You’ll work closely with artists and internal strategy leads to plan, manage, and optimise social content that supports releases, builds recognition, and compounds over time.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys structure, thinks critically, and understands the realities of working with artists.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Managing Instagram and TikTok accounts for independent artists
• Planning and scheduling content aligned to releases and wider strategy
• Working with artists on content ideas that feel authentic and sustainable
• Editing images and short-form video content (or briefing edits clearly)
• Monitoring performance and adjusting approach based on real engagement
• Supporting Meta growth activity in collaboration with strategy leads
• Keeping artists consistent without overwhelming them

What We’re Looking For

• Experience managing social media for artists, creators, or music brands
• A strong understanding of Instagram and TikTok culture (without chasing every trend)
• Confidence working directly with artists
• Strong organisation and communication skills
• A calm, thoughtful approach to content and growth

You don’t need to be loud, viral, or online 24/7.
You do need to be intentional, reliable, and curious.

What We Offer

• Thoughtful, strategy-led work
• Exposure to serious independent artists
• A calm, supportive working environment
• Clear boundaries and realistic expectations
• The chance to grow with a respected industry brand

How to Apply

• Send a short introduction outlining your experience and perspective on social media in the music industry.
• Examples of past work are welcome, but clarity of thinking matters more than metrics.
