Job description
Join our team as Head of Social Media
Can you turn data into direction, content into conversation, and chaos into strategy? If you’re equal parts social strategist, trend whisperer, and people leader — we want you on our side.
At Lumico, we don’t do “live, laugh, love” content. We build brands that mean something. Now we’re looking for someone who can lead our social media team to do just that — with creative firepower, strategic thinking, and the ability to keep cool when the client suddenly wants to “go viral.”
Oh, and yes — this is a full-time, in-office role. You’ll need to trade pyjamas for pants, but we promise the coffee, banter, and energy make it worth it.
What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Running the Internet)
Lead and mentor our social media and content teams.
Build strategies that connect, convert, and create loyal audiences.
Spot trends before they’re trends (because you basically are the algorithm).
Manage channel performance, reporting, and optimisation.
Oversee flawless execution across multiple brands and platforms.
Keep our online communities thriving and our clients smiling.
You’ll smash it if you:
Combine creative flair with analytical smarts.
Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Can lead with empathy, clarity, and caffeine.
Aren’t afraid to push boundaries (strategically, of course).
Love a good meme and a clean content calendar.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Prove it.
Send your CV, portfolio, and a social campaign you’re proud of to info@lumico.co.za
P.S. If you can’t tell the difference between reach and engagement — this might not be your vibe.
