ApplyPlanning Director (Account Director)
The Role:
Shape History is looking for candidates who have at least 5 years of account and/or project management experience, some of which has been at an agency, to be our new Planning Director.
Are you looking for a new challenge that gives you the chance to get creative and use your expertise to evolve a team who are passionate about social impact causes? Are you a natural leader who loves working with people to nurture their personal evolution? Are you proactive, love problem solving and are incredibly organised? If so, this full-time London based role will be perfect for you.
We’re Shape History, the social impact communications agency. We work with our partners – charities, businesses, UN bodies, academic institutions, philanthropic organisations – on some of the biggest issues facing humanity today, from Climate Change to Gender Equality, Digital Health, to Human Rights. We harness the power of communication to inspire inventive thinking and propel social impact leaders and changemakers to create a fairer world faster.
We’re a full service agency, doing everything from running social media campaigns, placing stories in the news, creating beautiful, emotive content, and developing large scale strategies for how organisations can talk to and influence their target audiences. An understanding of our services as an agency, how to work collaboratively, identify issues and implement new processes are all part of this role. The successful candidate will join our Planning team and act as a mentor to 4 talented individuals. By having a good understanding of capacity amongst the Planning team, you will also join our operations team, which involves weekly updates and forward planning across each team.
How you’ll be shaping history everyday:
- Account management: To get to understand our workings of the agency, you will be the lead point of contact for 1-2 significant projects, ensuring the timely and successful delivery of high quality assets and expertise according to our partners’ (we call clients, partners) needs and objectives. This will involve building, maintaining and evolving strong, long-lasting partnerships, and where necessary, facilitate consultation workshops.
- Managing budgets: Using our financial software platform Xero, you will be responsible for submitting all bills relating to your projects and you may be responsible for checking over bills entered by the Planning team. To do this, you will gain an understanding of our chart of accounts, and the differences between each account. If budgets need negotiating with our contractors or partners, it will be your responsibility to either guide the Planning team to take these conversations on, or you will lead them yourselves. Lastly, you will be responsible for ensuring that all budget sheets across the team are updated by Planners on a regular basis.
- Project management: As our Planning Director, although you may not know the full nuances of each project, you will have a good understanding of what stages each project is in, and sometimes ask the difficult questions as to why deadlines have been missed or why projects have been delayed. This means you will likely join kick off meetings to gain a sense of who the partner we’re working with is, understanding their wants and needs of each project. You will have oversight over our CRM, Monday.com, and ensure this is kept up to date (there will be an opportunity to train you up in this if you are new to it).
- Looking ahead: You will think ahead on all projects that you’re overseeing, ensuring that the full Planning team is doing the same and pre-empt anything that may not go according to plan, proactively coming up with solutions.
- Operations: Sitting in the Ops team, you will understand the ins and outs of our Planning team, identify gaps and work with the full team to evolve these processes. It will be your responsibility to roll these out to the full Shape History team. In doing so, you will form a good relationship with the Strategy and Creative teams to understand their internal department processes. You will work with each Planner to update their time sheets on a weekly basis, and flag when there may be a gap in capacity.
- Mentoring: You will have weekly mentoring sessions with each of the Planning team, gaining a sense of how they’re doing at work, guiding them to be the best version of themselves. This will involve developing SMART goals twice per year, as well as offering guidance and suggestions for anything they may need support with. You will be involved with the recruitment for the Planning team as well as inducting new team members.
- Processes: By understanding the ins and outs of our Planning team, you will identify gaps and work with the full team to evolve these processes. It will be your responsibility to roll these out to the full Shape History team. In doing so, you will form a good relationship with the Strategy and Creative teams to understand their internal department processes.
You’re good at:
- Agency experience: You have at least 5+ years of account management experience, ideally having worked at an agency and can manage working on multiple projects at once.
- Reactive and proactive media mindset: Experience in the agility and shifting requirements of working on multiple projects.
- Collaboration: Working collaboratively in a team, as well as independently, and willing to roll up your sleeves during short intensive sprints. You have experience or mentoring or managing people.
- Open-minded: Willing to step outside your comfort zone, and work on a variety of new and different outputs to evolve your skill sets. Thinking outside of the box is one of our values and pushing internal team members beyond their comfort zones is important.
- Commercial mindset: You have worked in the sector and you are interested in how businesses operate, therefore recognise the importance of certain processes that need to be put in place and also need to evolve over time.
- Stress Management and Adaptability: You feel comfortable adapting your planned course of action when unexpected issues arise, and are able to effectively manage and surpass stressful situations. This involves managing a complex and reactive workload.
- Clarity and simplification: You present and organise information in a clear, engaging way that resonates and creates clarity and alignment.
- Enthusiasm for project management: You bring a certain level of enthusiasm to the team, building morale and acting as a team leader when needed.
- Proactivity: Taking ownership and autonomy over your work, solving problems that others may not have noticed, and going out of your way to continue learning and growing.
- Time management: Effectively planning and organising how to divide your time between specific projects and activities, balancing the art of flexibility with realism.
- Organisation: You know how to handle budgets and timelines and are more than familiar with organising both projects and people.
Extra bit of awesome:
- Knowledge and background in the social impact/charity/political sector, whether that be volunteering or working with charities, campaigns, NGOs, funders, or institutions.

Social Media Lead
The Role:
Are you curious, creative, and passionate about all things social media? Are you committed to making the world fairer and more sustainable? Do you enjoy rising above challenges and have ambition to evolve in your career, fast? If so, then you could be just who we’re looking for.
We’re Shape History, the social impact communications agency. We work with our partners – charities, businesses, UN bodies, academic institutions, philanthropic organisations – on some of the biggest issues facing humanity today, from Climate Change to Gender Equality, Digital Health, to Human Rights. We harness the power of communication to inspire inventive thinking and propel social impact leaders and change makers to create a fairer world faster.
We’re looking for someone who truly loves collaboration and well… being… SOCIAL. We don’t expect you to be glued to your phone endlessly scrolling through your feeds all day (that’s not good for anyone’s mental health!), but you should be someone who keeps up to date with new features and social trends. You should also be a self starter and entrepreneurial. We have a lot of ambition, and if all goes to plan (being a strategic agency we’re confident it will…), we want to build a team of social media gurus around you.
How you’ll be shaping history everyday:
Working with our team and partners, you will work to launch campaigns, build awareness and engagement, and foster and grow social communities through a wide variety of platforms – from LinkedIn, to Instagram, to Twitter, to TikTok.
50% of this role will be devoted to one of our largest partnerships, focussed on brand awareness and thought leadership, with the rest of your time spent working across other projects and supporting with marketing to support agency growth.
Below we’ve provided an outline of what this role looks like day-to-day.

You will also be required to post reactive content such as recent news articles or supporting live tweeting panels at events.

This means putting effective outcomes before outputs, always thinking about the road to getting there within both available means and changing environment, and recognising that the tools and tactics you will use are adaptable and evolving.
- Keeping up to date: You will also keep on top of the conversations related to your partner accounts, ensuring you can identify hooks and opportunities for partners accounts to engage in conversations.
- Copywriting: Lead on writing clear and concise copy for a range of different mediums – ads, organic copy, graphics, videos – that inform, engage, and resonate with target audiences.
- Leading and supporting social strategy: You will either lead on, or work in collaboration with Strategy Leads to support developing and evolving the social media strategy for our partners.
- Consulting: Across the specific areas that you are responsible for, you will feel comfortable presenting and proposing ideas, and if needed, pushing back to partners to convince them of the best course of action.
- Reporting and Refining: You’ll be accountable for the results on channels, which means you’ll need to be constantly reporting, evaluating and refining your approach to reach desired outcomes.
- Training: You’ll run training workshops, talking about the top do’s and don’ts when it comes to social media.
- Collaboration: Working closely with the entire Shape History team (such as creatives and planners) and our partners to support idea generation, implementation, coordinating graphics and feedback. You will also be willing to roll up your sleeves during intensive sprints to support the team with tight deadlines and delivery.
- Upskilling: Social media evolves on a daily basis. To ensure you’re set up for success, you’ll have the time to be able to keep up to date with all the latest trends, features, and platforms, putting this new knowledge into practice in your day to day work.
- Shape History Marketing: As an agency we have ambition plans for growth. To enable that, you’ll support the growth of the agency by supporting our marketing efforts.
- Paid marketing: You’ll develop strategies for paid marketing, implementing them across channels such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
You’re good at:
- Strategic mindset: Being able to see the end outcome and impact is a must. You won’t get lost in tactical or reactive work and will have a good understanding of how to segment target audiences and create tailored content.
- Responsive-working: You excel in fast-paced environments, going from ideation to implementation, at the click of a finger, and are great at using your strategic and creative skills to grow reach, engagement, and followers.
- Written skills: Whether it is more strategic or if you need to inject some creativity and LIFE into the copy, you’ll be confident and efficient at writing for different audiences and platforms.
- Open-minded: Willing to step outside your comfort zone, and work on a variety of new and different outputs to evolve your skill sets. Thinking outside of the box is one of our values and pushing internal team members and our partners beyond their comfort zones, in a respectful way, is important.
- Stress Management and Adaptability: You feel comfortable adapting your planned course of action when unexpected issues arise, and are able to effectively manage and surpass stressful situations. This involves managing a complex and reactive workload.
- Clarity and simplification: From presenting ideas to the internal team or our partners, to delivering strategy documents, you present and organise information in a clear, engaging way that resonates and creates clarity and alignment.
- Proactivity: Taking ownership and autonomy over your work, solving problems that others may not have noticed, and going out of your way to continue learning and growing.
- Time management: Effectively planning and organising how to divide your time between specific projects and activities, balancing the art of flexibility with realism.
- Platform experience: You’ll be confident at using social media management tools and platforms such as SproutSocial, HeyOrca, (TalkWalker would be a bonus) and at analysing data from the channels you are working on.
Extra bit of awesome:
