Our Careers

Social Media Manager

We are looking for a sharp eyed, quick witted, social media savvy manager to join our creative department. If you have an interest in luxury goods and collectibles such as whisky, watches, fine wine, classic cars, gold and designer handbags then perhaps this is the role for you! 

Hackstons is one of London’s most trusted multi-asset brokers. Through our experience, experts, and partners we have helped private individuals build real wealth by owning some of the most illustrious timepieces, art pieces, luxury handbags, coins, wine, and whisky.

Through a process of education, we empower our clients to own inflation-beating assets and then help them to secure premium insurance and or storage.

We already have a large and powerful YouTube channel with videos averaging at 15k views, but we wish to take our presence to the next level across all other social media platforms. We are looking for a confident and community focused individual to help expand our brand. 

We envision this will be a hybrid role, with at least three days a week in our central London office in the iconic Gherkin building. The other days can be worked from home remotely. This is so you can get to know the team and understand the ins and outs of the business and luxury asset ecosystem. 

Benefits include early finish on Fridays, we close for the Christmas holidays and regular team trips. Our last few trips included visiting distilleries in Scotland, Thorpe Park and clay pigeon shooting. 

This opportunity will mean that you are a key player in the business, working alongside senior management and the creative team to shape Hackstons’ brand voice and image. If you’re looking for a role with more creative freedom and the opportunity to independently shape the social output of an organisation, then send us your application.
