About the Role

HiBob is looking for a strategic, creative, and execution-focused Social Media Manager (Maternity Leave Cover) to lead our global organic social presence during an important phase of brand growth. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who understands how social connects brand storytelling, community engagement, and market visibility.

Reporting into the Director of Community Strategy & Content, you’ll drive the full lifecycle of HiBob’s global social channels—from planning and content creation to publishing, optimization, and performance analysis. You’ll collaborate closely with brand, content, campaigns, product marketing, creative, and regional teams to ensure our channels consistently reflect who we are as a company: people-first, modern, and deeply connected to the world of work.

Your work will elevate HiBob’s voice, expand our reach, and strengthen connection with prospects, customers, influencers, and the broader HR community.
