Meet Soapbox

We’re Soapbox – we help every UK venture-backed startup share their funding news or launch, for free, on channels built specifically for a VC and founder audience.

We’re not chasing splashy scoops; we give every company the chance to put out a formal, third-party record of their round. No round is too small, no sector too niche – think the full-fat BusinessWire for venture. Our mantra for founders: if you do nothing else, do Soapbox.

We’ve launched in the UK with thousands of platform views and millions of impressions – but are now expanding to build Europe’s public platform of record for venture – a direct conduit that plugs founder news straight into our channels and the best new media outlets.

The role

We’re hiring a Socials Manager to bring the spotlight and credibility of “insider tech Twitter” to every startup – not just the usual suspects. We scout and surface the cool stuff from the bottom up – from every funding round to the hackathon winners no one’s covering yet.

You’ll turn this news into content: running our social channels, growing the audience, and building simple, repeatable formats people follow us for.

What you’ll be doing

Socials

• Run our day-to-day social across Insta, TikTok, LinkedIn and particularly X

• Turn the funding news we cover into posts people consume or share

• Grow the following and engagement on each channel

• Track, analyse and report channel performance to continuously test, learn and refine our content approach

Content

• Own the content calendar and sequencing across channels

• Push news out through repeatable pre-designed templates and round-ups

• Create scrappy, short-form street interview video for TikTok and Reels

• Turn our rich funding and launch data into simple, shareable posts

• Support content production and posts for our commercial sponsors

About you

• You’re obsessed with startups and venture, and follow the UK scene closely, and can confidentiality own our digital tone-of-voice

• You’ve got a real feel for social – you know how to tailor content across different channels including TikTok, Instagram and X. “Chronically online” etc etc.

• You can shoot and edit scrappy, native video (CapCut or similar) – fast, not fancy

• You take the initiative, move fast, and like a small, scrappy team

• You’re happy working with freelancers for the bigger design and production jobs

Why join

Soapbox sits bang in the middle of UK venture, connecting with a large community of founders and investors. It’s a genuine way into the ecosystem – and a strong stepping stone if you want a career in VC or startups.
