Social Media Specialist

Who are we?
Sanitarium is a progressive and dynamic business that is Australian owned and produces Australia’s leading breakfast products – Up & Go, So Good, Alternative Dairy Co range and Australia’s favourite breakfast Weet-Bix.

The Role
Want to help shape the social voice of some of Australia’s most loved brands?

This is a social-first brand-building role working across our iconic, purpose-led brands — combining creativity, culture, creators and performance. You’ll help bring brands like Weet-Bix, Up&Go, So Good and Alternative Dairy Co to life across TikTok, Meta, creator partnerships and cultural moments.

Working closely with the Social Media Manager, internal brand teams, creative partners and external agencies, you will play a hands-on role in shaping how our brands show up in culture and connect with Australian communities.

Create culturally relevant social content: Turn brand strategies into scroll-stopping social ideas across TikTok, Meta and emerging channels.
Grow engaged brand communities: Write clear, engaging copy and help build deeper relationships with audiences across our brands and events.
Lead creator and influencer partnerships: Shape partnerships that feel authentic, brand-safe and relevant to the communities we want to reach.
Champion platform-first creative: Brief creative teams, influencers and content creators to deliver ideas made for social, not simply adapted for it.
Optimise paid social performance: Manage in-house social media buying, using Meta and TikTok Ads Manager to deliver cost-effective reach, engagement and registrations.
Use insights to shape brand activity: Spot cultural moments, analyse campaign performance and translate reporting into ideas that sharpen what comes next.
Protect and strengthen the brands: Coordinate approvals so content meets nutrition, regulatory and brand requirements while still feeling fresh and social-first.
Manage budgets with purpose: Oversee allocated social media budgets and support smart production-spend decisions.
