Job Description

Founded in 2012, LADbible Group is redefining entertainment and news for a social generation. Our global community engages with our content–spanning editorial, video, documentary and live – we reach 1 billion people each and every month. Our mission is to give the youth generation a voice by building communities that laugh, think and act. Using all major platforms, we’ve rapidly risen to become one of the world's largest publishers.

About the Role

We’re looking for a creative, culturally plugged-in Junior TikTok Channel Manager to join the Social Video team, working exclusively across @ladbible on TikTok.

This role will directly support the LADbible TikTok Channel Manager in developing and executing original, repeatable, IP-led formats designed specifically for TikTok. It’s an idea-first, platform-native position focused on format building, cultural reactiveness and confident on-camera presence.

Working within a fast-paced social video team, you’ll help shape how LADbible shows up on TikTok, contributing to ideation, scripting and production support, while building a strong understanding of audience growth, retention and platform behaviour.

This is an ideal role for someone who understands TikTok culture instinctively, thrives in a reactive environment, and wants to grow into a senior channel manager role.

What the opportunity looks like:

• Supporting the TikTok Channel Manager in the day-to-day running of the LADbible TikTok account.

• Contributing to the ideation and development of original, repeatable, IP-led formats.

• Assisting with scripting, planning and production of TikTok-native content.

• Confidently appearing in camera-facing content when required.

• Translating trending conversations, internet culture and news moments into engaging TikTok videos.

• Working with our in-house editing team to execute high-performing content.

• Reacting quickly to trends, sounds and platform shifts.

• Supporting content scheduling and ensuring output aligns with TikTok best practice.

• Monitoring performance metrics and applying insights to refine creative direction.

• Collaborating with Editorial and Video teams to ensure TikTok content reflects LADbible’s tone and audience expectations.
  
  Skills and experience we’d like you to have:

• A strong understanding of TikTok as a platform, including trends, hooks, retention mechanics and algorithm behaviour.

• An instinctive grasp of what resonates with LADbible’s core 16–34 audience.

• Confidence being camera-facing and comfortable presenting to a social audience.

• Experience ideating TikTok content, either in a publisher environment or via a strong personal/creator portfolio.

• A clear understanding of how to build repeatable formats, not just chase trends.

• Strong cultural awareness and the ability to spot conversations early.

• Ability to work quickly and creatively in a reactive news and entertainment environment.

• Strong storytelling instincts and understanding of short-form pacing.

• A solid understanding of media law and publishing best practice.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate within a production team.

• Filming and editing experience (CapCut, Premiere Pro, TikTok-native tools) is a bonus but not essential.
  

At LADbible Group we've rolled out blended working which means the majority of departments across the business (including London, Manchester and International offices) work in the office 3 days per week.

LADbible Group is an equal opportunities employer. We are determined to create a diverse group at all levels of our company and we welcome all members of the community to apply for openings with us. As the leading social youth publisher, we have a powerful global platform to better represent our audience and enable those that do not have equal opportunities to have their voices heard. As a business, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce, in an environment where everyone feels comfortable to be themselves.
