Social Media & Events Marketing Executive, Kindred

Start Date: asap

Interview Process:

Stage One: In-person interview for successful candidates

Stage Two: A short creative task to be submitted online

We’re looking for a creative, proactive and highly organised social media and marketing whizz who is as passionate about bringing West London together as we are. Whether you’re a recent graduate, or someone with demonstrable experience of content creation; most importantly we want somebody that’s excited about making their mark on an independent and innovative hospitality-first business.

Creating reels at a live music event one day, sending newsletters to our database the next; you will be helping us put Kindred on the map as a best-in-class destination for food, drink, events and coworking.

Who We Are

Spread across three floors of a 17th Century mansion, Kindred is an open house for West London. The top two floors are reserved for coworking, our cultural programme, and private events, with the ground floor being home to Cellar, our café, restaurant and bar.

Kindred was co-founded by former social worker and a former CODE Hospitality 30 under 30 winner, Anna Anderson – a social entrepreneur passionate about creating spaces that bring people together.

We’re a tight-knit team of around 40, made up of chefs, front of house staff, community hosts and event managers. We also work with a host of brilliant consultants, well-connected within the worlds of food & drink, events and social business.

Kindred is already known across West London as a destination for live events. We’ve hosted afterparties for newly crowned Mercury Prize Winners, album launches for TikTok-famous artists, and given a stage to exciting up-and-comers through our Kindred Rising event series. We also host food & drink events (such as our recurring panel series, Seat at the Table) and happenings to help shape a better tomorrow (notably, ID8 West London).
