The role
GroupWhistle, the integrated communications agency for the automotive technology and motorsport industries, is seeking a highly capable and confident B2B social media practitioner to take up a central role as one of the company’s lead specialists.
As a trade or B2B social media guru, if you have a fascination with cars and the tidal wave of new technologies that are changing the face of mobility across the planet, then we want to hear from you.
At Whistle, we are helping pioneering companies to communicate their ground-breaking engineering and technologies through media relations, digital PR and importantly, through business-orientated social media, with an emphasis on LinkedIn.
This role sits within a dedicated social media team but works closely with automotive technology colleagues in PR, SEO and corporate comms.
For this role, we need a digital native who can digest complex and cutting-edge tech propositions and distil them into engaging B2B social content. You will be responsible for helping to craft and implement short and long-term content plans and providing expertise in paid social, platform best practices, community management, analytics reporting and more.

The Responsibilities
Who Are You?
You’ll be a team player, smart but enthusiastic and motivated in equal measure. You’ll also be happy to roll your sleeves up and get stuck into a little bit of everything. Passion for auto-tech and its capacity to solve intractable problems would definitely form part of the match criteria for us – and for that reason, your most likely highly enquiring and have a sense of the world beyond. Equally, you will have some unhealthy obsession with some part of the media landscape – rolling news junkies or social media obsessives are welcome in equal measure.
