Social media is one of the most powerful ways we connect with our customers, shape brand perception and bring the Screwfix personality to life.

You’ll also own relationships with key agency partners across social, creative and PR, working closely with leading agencies including Fabric Social, M&C Saatchi and McCann to deliver standout campaigns and content.
