), with a culture based on knowledge sharing, with the urge to create work that compels you, and delivers fast, measurable business results.

We're looking for people who break the mold; people who've got a hankering to do something radically different. Obviously, we want our
Mechaniks

to be smart and hard-working, but more importantly, we want people on our team who love technology, love their job, and aren't afraid to fail while trying something completely crazy. 

We're looking for an
Account Manager, Social Media

who is as passionate as ourselves about ideating, planning, executing and managing social media and influencer marketing campaigns to achieve the clients' business goals.

Responsibilities include planning
social media campaigns and developing content
across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and LinkedIn. You also need to consult and engage with the client from time to time.

If that all sounds up your alley, then read on.

Who's who in the workshop?

• Track and analyse performance metrics, optimize campaigns, and turn insights into recommendations that drive engagement and results.
