Senior Social Specialist

We are looking for a Senior Social Specialist at Basic-Fit’s International HQ in Hoofddorp. In this role, you will own how social contributes to brand growth across markets: setting direction, defining standards, and raising the level of both thinking and execution.

You will work closely with local teams across our countries, our international team in Hoofddorp, our creator marketeer and creative agencies, challenging them, sharpening thinking and improving output.

This Is What Your Role Looks Like

Social is not a support channel for us. It is a core driver of mental availability, distinctiveness and long-term brand growth.

Your Responsibilities

• Define and continuously sharpen the role of social within our marketing strategy.
• Translate brand strategy into clear, usable frameworks (formats, structures, playbooks).
• Judge content rigorously on brand impact and performance - not just engagement.
• Build learning loops that systematically improve creative output.
• Identify what works, scale it across markets, and cut what doesn’t.
• Challenge agencies on both creative quality and media effectiveness.
• Connect social with Brand, Performance, PR and CRM to avoid fragmentation.
• Define KPIs that reflect real impact (reach, memory, linkage) - not vanity metrics.

Who Are You?

You’re not just experienced in social, you have a clear point of view on how it drives growth.

Additionally, we’re looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of experience in social, brand or digital strategy (brand or agency side).
• Strong understanding of paid social and platform mechanics.
• Ability to distinguish between short-term performance and long-term brand effects.
• A data-driven mindset.
• Comfortable working with AI tools to improve speed, quality and scalability.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
• Experience in working across markets is a plus.

And you’re someone who:

• Has strong convictions, but knows how to back them up.
• Thinks in systems and patterns, not isolated one-offs.
• Is as comfortable in a performance dashboard as in a creative review.
• Knows how to balance speed, scale and quality.

The Challenge

Our challenge is to turn social into a consistent, scalable brand-building system - one that drives reach, builds memory and compounds over time. Not everything that performs builds the brand. Not everything that engages creates memory. We're looking for someone who understands that difference.

AI plays an increasing role in how we create, analyse and learn. We see it as a force multiplier — helping us move faster and smarter, while keeping the creative quality that builds brands over time.
