Assistant Social Media Manager - Menswear

Every day we engage with our customers through inspiring, impactful marketing. From show-stopping, above-the-line campaigns to the simplest POS designs in store, every step of the customer journey is crafted by our standout teams to build the very best experience, at every touchpoint. We explore the data and learn from our successes – constantly driving our Clothing & Home category to be the market leader. And we’re just getting started. There’s no better time to join our team as we continue to elevate our style, break boundaries and take the M&S brand to the next level.

At Marks & Spencer, we’re building the future of fashion retail. Our menswear is evolving—and we need someone with the energy, insight, and creativity to help tell that story. You’ll join a passionate team that values bold ideas, smart strategy, and social-first thinking.

To stay close to customers, we expect our support teams to come into the office at least 3 three days a week. We think that learning comes from working alongside each other, and that spending time with our teams makes us more creative and connected. It also means we can solve problems as soon as they arise, build trust, and get closer to our colleagues.

We may close this role early if we have enough applications for the next stage. Please submit your application as soon as possible to make sure you don’t miss out.
