Job Application for Social Content Executive at Gymshark

New

OVERVIEW:

We’re looking for a Social Content Executive to take ownership of one of our most culturally relevant spaces - Gymshark Lifting.

This isn’t just a content role. This is about owning and growing a page that sits right at the heart of lifting culture. You’ll be responsible for shaping what Gymshark Lifting looks and feels like on Instagram, while identifying opportunities to expand into new and emerging platforms like TikTok.

You’ll live and breathe the world our audience lives in - from understanding the biggest names in lifting (think CBum and beyond) to knowing exactly what content resonates, performs, and goes viral. We’re not just looking for experience - we’re looking for obsession. Someone who is already deep in this space, already creating or consuming the content, and instinctively knows what hits.

If you’re someone who sees content differently, spots trends early, and wants to own a channel with huge cultural influence - this is your opportunity

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

Own and manage the Gymshark Lifting Instagram channel, driving its content, tone, and performance
Create high-impact, platform-native content that connects with the lifting community
Identify opportunities to expand Gymshark Lifting into new platforms (e.g. TikTok)
Stay fully immersed in lifting culture, trends, and key influencers
Develop, shoot, and publish content - reacting quickly to real-time moments
Collaborate with Creative teams to deliver campaign and always-on content
Capture content at events, shoots, and community moments
Track performance and optimise content against engagement and growth KPIs
Build connections with creators and influencers to elevate content output
Act as the go-to expert for your channel - constantly evolving what “great” looks like

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

Essential Criteria:

1–2 years’ experience in a social media or content role (or strong personal content background)
Proven ability to create engaging content for Instagram
Strong understanding of lifting/fitness culture and its key voices
Awareness of how content translates across Instagram and TikTok
Experience using editing tools (e.g. Premiere Pro, Photoshop or similar)
Strong commercial awareness - you understand what content drives engagement
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, reactive environment
Confident communicator and collaborative team player
Self-starter with a genuine passion for content and culture

CLOSING DATE:

30th June 2026 @ 12:00am
