Grounded in a talent-centric mindset, Maker Lab is a marketing agency designed to build decentralised technology-led agency teams, rooted in collaboration with clients from the ground up. Maker Lab’s cross-functional teams of multidisciplinary specialists are embedded into client teams across digital marketing competencies — from measurement & analytics to content production.
Role Summary:
We're looking for a Social Media Lead to own organic growth strategy end-to-end — from content planning through to community engagement — for a client in the developer/technology space. You'll combine creative judgment with a sharp analytical approach to grow an engaged, loyal audience from the ground up, and act as the architect of developer-focused marketing strategies that go beyond a standard social presence.
This is a chance to shape how a global community of developers and businesses experiences the brand — building conversations that create real momentum and long-term loyalty across the product suite.
Role:
- Build and continuously evolve a 30/60/90-day content roadmap aligned to brand goals and developer-audience trends.
- Own end-to-end publishing — titles, metadata, and discoverability strategy — to perform strongly across Search and Suggested feeds.
- Partner closely with production teams to keep assets on-brand, on-brief, and on schedule.
- Run daily performance reviews, translating data into creative and strategic pivots.
- Lead structured A/B testing (thumbnails, titles, formats) and track platform/algorithm shifts proactively.
- Be the active, strategic voice in community spaces — comments, community tabs — feeding audience sentiment back into the creative process.
- Bring proven experience growing and sustaining audiences on major video/content platforms, with a clear line back to client marketing objectives.
You:
- BA/BS degree or equivalent experience
- 8+ years in growth or social/community marketing.
- A track record engaging technical, developer, or B2B audiences — turning complex ideas into accessible, high-engagement content.
- Familiarity with cloud, software, or enterprise tech ecosystems is a strong plus. Hands-on expertise across content creation, SEO tooling, and video editing.
- Comfort working with performance data to shape retention and growth strategy.
- Excellent copywriting and communication skills — clear, engaging, audience-first. Experience managing cross-functional work within a collaborative agency-client setup.
- A self-starter who works well with autonomy and ambiguity.
- Exceptional verbal and written English communication and presentation skills.
