• Founded during lockdown from our founder’s kitchen, Oatsu is now listed with Ocado, Selfridges and Holland & Barrett, with more launches planned for 2026. We’ve won a Channel 4 TV ad, featured in The Sun, Guardian, Metro and The Grocer, and been endorsed by Steven Bartlett.

About the Role:

• We’re hiring a Freelance Content & Social Media Manager to work closely alongside our founder — often in person at WeWork or at events — capturing, creating and publishing social and email content that brings the Oatsu brand to life.
• This is a hands-on execution role, not a strategy or agency position.
• You’ll be embedded in the business, turning real moments (events, podcasts, launches, retail milestones and behind-the-scenes brand building) into engaging content, while managing posting, captions and basic community engagement.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• 🎥 Content capture: Filming short-form video and imagery at events, meetings, podcasts and product shoots

• 💬 Community engagement: Responding to comments and messages in a thoughtful, brand-aligned way
• 🤝 Outreach & partnerships: Supporting outreach to brands, creators and events
• ✉️ Email marketing: Supporting the creation and sending of email campaigns (via Klaviyo) to customers, retail buyers and investors

Key Requirements:

• 🎯 Comfortable taking clear creative direction and executing content to a defined brief, tone and visual style
• 🎥 Confident editing short-form video independently (CapCut / Premiere Pro / DaVinci)
• 📱 3+ years’ experience creating and managing content for brands (food & drink a plus)
• ✉️ Experience creating email campaigns (B2B and B2C); Klaviyo experience a strong plus
• 🧠 Commercially minded — understands brand tone, audience and what performs
• 🚀 Proactive, reliable and comfortable working closely with a founder
