We are looking for a Social Media Manager to join Positively Languages formally Kaplan Languages Group (KLG).
We're looking for a Social Media strategic marketer who understands that brands don't grow through advertising alone, they grow through communities, creators, partnerships and authentic conversations.
You'll shape how our brands are discovered, experienced and talked about across social media, creator communities and strategic partnerships.
On influencer, you build a year-round programme that brings creators to our schools to tell authentic stories. On partnerships, you grow a network of affiliates and brand partners that extend our reach.
You’re also the team’s eyes and ears in local markets — identifying PR opportunities, supporting regional fairs, and ensuring global campaigns land effectively. As a French speaker, you play a key role in quality-checking non-English marketing content alongside your assistant.
Positively Languages launches as a new brand in November, and you’ll be building our social presence and creator network from day one.

Strong strategic thinking combined with a hands-on approach.

Confidence working with budgets and reporting on return on investment.
A keen eye for brand consistency across languages and channels.
