Social Media Manager - London

Jan 17, 2024

Our team is growing and we are hiring for a Social Media Manager to join us at our London HQ.

Social Media Manager - London



Solo is the UK's fastest-growing software platform in beauty, hair and wellness. Unlike other software that focuses on salons, our mission is to empower the largest but more overlooked group in the industry: self-employed professionals.

We help these independent entrepreneurs build their dream business with a 'super app' that provides a booking system, website builder, marketing tools and payments. We also help them find new clients by listing their businesses on multiple marketplaces where they can find new clients.

Marketplaces built on the Solo platform include our brand, Secret Spa, the UK's largest at-home marketplace. We also provide marketplaces for the industry's biggest brands: Bio Sculpture, Nouveau Lashes, Elim, Sienna X, Million Dollar Facial, HD Brows, and Lash Perfect.

Taken together, our platform transforms customer's lives:
"Solo has changed my life. I find it so easy to use and my clients love it too" - Ellie C
"Solo has helped me manage my time and has taken a huge stress of my shoulders" - James R
"Solo has taken my business to the next level and saves me so much time. I don't know what I'd do without it!" - Nelly I

Backed by leading VCs and investors from Dragons Den, this is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth start-up, which is still at the beginning of its journey. If transforming an industry to empower small businesses excites you, please apply below.
