Social Media & Content Manager

About us

Founded in 2015 by friends Valentina Muntoni and Stephanie Bennett, Rat & Boa is a womenswear brand built on the celebration of femininity and individuality, creating pieces that elevate every moment of dressing up.

We are more than a brand — we are a growing global community. Every collection tells its own story of sensuality, colour, sustainability and wanderlust, and we’re on a journey of evolution to become a fully-fledged fashion house. With ambitious growth plans for new categories and fresh creative directions, this is an incredible time to join our team and tell the next chapter of our story.

• Content Creation & Oversight
• Lead the design, copy, and production of social-first content (static, video, motion, interactive formats).
• Ensure creative output aligns with brand tone, voice, and visual identity.
• Lead with foresight, identifying platform trends and applying them.
• Collaboration
• Develop and execute an influencer strategy by identifying relevant creators, building relationships, overseeing outreach with social & PR assistant, negotiating partnerships, and overseeing content delivery to support key campaigns and brand objectives.
• Collab with PR teams on social projects / collaborations with talent
• Provide clear briefs to creatives and align brand managers on social content needs.
• Liaise with external agencies, PR teams, production houses and content creators as and when needed.

• Performance & Optimisation

• Analyse engagement and content performance to refine creative strategies.
• Test new formats, methods, and platform features.
