Day-to-day operating brief

What Social Media Manager work looks like in practice

A Social Media Manager plans channel strategy, supervises content, engages communities and coordinates paid or reactive communications. The role controls valuable brand accounts, audience data and fast-moving public responses. Terms should define channels, access custody, publishing approval, moderation, out-of-hours monitoring, advertising spend, influencer relationships, customer complaints, crisis escalation, analytics, IP and personal-account boundaries. Account recovery should be tested before a staff departure or crisis, with business-controlled email, multi-factor methods and named emergency custodians. Community escalation records should distinguish abuse, credible threats, service complaints and lawful criticism; each needs a different response rather than a single deletion rule.

Approve or create posts.
Moderate comments and messages.
Manage paid activity within budget.
Protect account access.
