Social Media & Influencer Manager - Cowshed
Own and define how Cowshed shows up to the world. Building a premium, creator-led social presence from the ground up at a pivotal brand relaunch.
Cowshed | London (Hybrid)
Cowshed is entering a defining new chapter. Following its acquisition by Matrix, the brand is relaunching in 2026 with a sharper, more premium identity across product, packaging, and brand world.
We are helping them in hiring a Social Media & Influencer Manager to build and own how Cowshed shows up across social and creator channels at this pivotal moment.
This role sits within Brand and leads the strategy and execution of their social and influencer function, from creator relationships and content, to community and cultural relevance. You will partner with DTC to amplify strong brand-led work through paid, but the centre of gravity is brand, taste, and content.
What you'll do:
You will define and build Cowshed’s social and influencer presence from the ground up.
That means:
Owning their organic social strategy and output across key platforms
Building a clear, long-term creator strategy (nano to ambassador level)
Establishing always-on seeding and genuine creator relationships
Creating and directing content that reflects a premium, consistent brand world
Leading social-first brand moments, events, and activations
Ensuring creator content is strong enough to scale into paid amplification
This is a hands-on role, particularly early on, but not purely executional. You should be as comfortable shaping direction as you are creating yourself, and able to scale output through collaborators over time.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years in social and/or influencer marketing with true ownership
Experience working with premium or luxury brands
Exceptional taste and instinct for what premium looks like on social
Strong content capability (filming, editing, directing)
Proven ability to build meaningful creator relationships
Clear understanding of how brand-led content translates into growth
High ownership, strong judgement, and comfort in a lean environment
Bonus:
Personal experience as a content creator
Existing network in beauty, lifestyle, or hospitality
What Success Looks Like
Cowshed shows up on social with clarity, consistency, and confidence.
You’ve built a strong creator network, elevated the quality of content, and created a social presence that feels culturally relevant while unmistakably premium - fueling both brand equity and commercial growth.
