Design swimwear built for movement, confidence and performance in the water

At Speedo, product has to do more than look good. It has to move with the swimmer, feel comfortable in the water and support performance, confidence and freedom of movement, whether someone is training, competing, learning or simply enjoying the swim.

The Global Social & Community Manager supports the delivery of Speedo’s global social and community strategy, helping turn brand, product and cultural priorities into engaging social content and community-led activity.

Working closely with the Global Head of Social & Community, Brand Marketing, Product Marketing, Sports Marketing, Brand Partnerships, Go-To-Market, regional teams, creators and agency partners, this role manages day-to-day social planning, content coordination, community activity and performance learning.

The role helps ensure Speedo shows up consistently, credibly and creatively across social platforms, while building stronger connections with swimmers, athletes, creators and communities.

What you’ll be doing:

• Support the Head of Global Social & Community in delivering Speedo’s global social and community strategy across key platforms and markets.

• Translate social strategy into content plans, editorial calendars, platform priorities and community activity.

• Manage the planning and delivery of global social content, ensuring activity is aligned to brand moments, product launches, cultural opportunities and GTM priorities.

• Work with Brand Marketing, Product Marketing, Sports Marketing and Brand Partnerships teams to bring campaigns, product stories, athlete moments and partnership activity to life through social-first execution.

• Maintain a consistent brand voice and high content standards across social and community channels.

• Identify timely, reactive and culturally relevant content opportunities, helping Speedo remain current and credible in social spaces.

• Support creator, ambassador and community activity, including identifying relevant voices, coordinating content and managing day-to-day relationships.

• Work with regional teams to share guidance, content plans, best practice and performance learnings, supporting global consistency with local relevance.

• Monitor social, cultural and community trends across sport, lifestyle, creators and platforms, sharing insights that inform future content and activity.

• Track and analyse social and community performance, using engagement data, sentiment, audience feedback and content learnings to improve future plans.

• Provide guidance and support to the Global Social & Community Executive, helping prioritise tasks and maintain quality across publishing, engagement and reporting.

• Act as a key day-to-day contact for global social and community activity, helping keep plans organised, visible and moving forward.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience in social media, community management, content planning or creator marketing, ideally within a consumer brand or agency environment.

• Strong understanding of social platforms, formats, behaviours and trends, with a clear view on what works and why.

• Experience planning and delivering social-first content across campaigns, launches, cultural moments and always-on activity.

• Good understanding of community building, audience engagement and how brands can show up authentically in social spaces.

• Experience working with creators, ambassadors, athletes or community voices would be beneficial.

• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage content calendars, timelines, approvals and multiple workstreams.

• Confident communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across Brand, Product, Sports Marketing, Partnerships, GTM and regional teams.

• Comfortable using social performance data, audience feedback and cultural signals to improve content and community activity.

• Proactive, collaborative and culturally curious, with a strong interest in sport, lifestyle, creators and community-led brand building.
