About Spicey Guava

We're a boutique marketing agency specialising in F&B;, startups and lifestyle brands. We help businesses stand out with strong visuals and smart strategy, and we're growing fast.

We're looking for a Senior Social Media Manager to independently own a portfolio of 4–6 client accounts, many of them brands that are launching or building their identity from the ground up.

You'll lead client relationships, guide a small team, and put the systems in place that help the agency run smoothly as we scale.

What You'll Do

Account Ownership & Strategy

- Independently manage 4–6 client accounts end to end, from strategy through execution and reporting.
- Build social strategy for brands at launch stage: positioning, content pillars, tone of voice, and rollout plans.
- Own monthly content calendars and campaign strategies for each account.
- Set creative direction and moodboards suited to each brand.
- Stay ahead of trends, platform changes, and what's working in each category.

Client Servicing

- Be the primary point of contact for your clients and the person they trust.
- Run client calls independently: monthly reviews, strategy presentations, feedback, and approvals.
- Manage expectations, timelines, and escalations proactively, looping in the founder only where needed.

Team Leadership & Systems

- Manage and mentor the team members who report to you (SMMs, interns, and freelancers).
- Build and maintain systems for how the team works: workflows, SOPs, approval processes, trackers, and timelines.
- Delegate clearly, review work, and hold a high bar on quality.
- Spot bottlenecks early and fix them before they reach the client.

Production & Creative Oversight

- Brief and coordinate shoots with photographers, videographers, and the design team.
- Understand production well enough to plan shoots, estimate effort, and review output.



You won't be shooting or editing yourself.
- Review all creative before it goes out: format, visual hierarchy, captions, and brand consistency.

Analytics & Reporting

- Track and report on reach, engagement, follower growth, and content performance.
- Turn data into clear insights and recommendations for clients.
- Align organic content with paid campaign objectives where relevant.

Who You Are

Must Haves

- 3–5+ years of experience in social media marketing and strategy.
- Agency experience is a must.
- Proven track record of managing 4–6 accounts independently.
- Strong client servicing skills: confident on calls, calm with feedback, great at building relationships.
- Sharp attention to detail. Nothing goes out with a typo, a wrong tag, or an off-brand visual.
- Experience leading or mentoring a team and setting up processes that stick.
- A solid understanding of production: shoots, reels, and what it takes to bring content to life.
- Experience launching or building brands from scratch.
- Highly organised across multiple accounts and deadlines.

Good to Have

- A background in brand strategy.
- An eye for design and working knowledge of Canva or Adobe Suite.
- Experience across F&B;, beauty, fashion, or lifestyle categories.

Why Join Us?

- A senior role with real ownership: your own portfolio, your own team, and a direct line to the founder.
- Work on brand launches and growth across F&B;, startups and lifestyle.
- Boutique agency workplace where your work has real visibility and impact.
- Working Schedule: 5 days in-office, every alternate Saturday half-day.
- Monthly team activities.
- Food and drink discounts from nearby restaurants.
- 1–2 hours per week set aside for upskilling.
