What does Social Listening & Engagement Analyst do at WPP Production?

We are seeking a highly analytical, proactive, and strategically-minded Social Listening & Insights Expert to be the eyes and ears of the brand in the digital landscape. This critical role will be responsible for monitoring, analyzing, and interpreting online conversations across social media, news sites, forums, blogs, and digital communities to provide actionable insights that inform and enhance strategies across Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, PR, and Digital.

The ideal candidate will translate complex data into clear, compelling narratives, identifying emerging trends, potential risks, and significant opportunities within the fast-paced FMCG and consumer brand ecosystem. We are particularly interested in candidates who have worked with luxury, premium, or lifestyle brands — or those who possess a strong understanding of the luxury world, including premium consumer behavior, cultural relevance, brand perception, exclusivity, and high-end communication ecosystems.

This role requires someone who is deeply attuned to internet culture, consumer sentiment, influencer ecosystems, and reputation management in real time. The candidate should be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment, proactively identifying risks and opportunities while delivering strategic insights that support business and brand objectives.

Key Responsibilities

A. Social Listening, Monitoring & Intelligence

Design, configure, and manage advanced social listening queries, dashboards, and tracking frameworks using industry-leading tools (e.g. Brandwatch, Sprinklr, Talkwalker, Meltwater, and NetBase Quid).
Monitor and analyze brand mentions, consumer conversations, competitor activity, influencer discourse, emerging trends, and relevant cultural moments across social media, forums, blogs, news platforms, and digital communities.
Track conversations related to campaigns, launches, partnerships, corporate initiatives, and reputation-sensitive topics in real time.
Identify key influencers, communities, creators, and emerging voices relevant to the brand and target audiences.
Conduct competitive benchmarking, share-of-voice analysis, and sentiment tracking across brands and categories.

B. Insights, Analysis & Strategic Recommendations

Translate large volumes of social and digital data into clear, concise, and actionable insights for PR, Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, Marketing, and Digital teams.
Identify emerging consumer behaviors, pain points, white spaces, and opportunities for storytelling, innovation, or strategic communication.
Detect reputational risks, negative sentiment spikes, misinformation, or potential crises early and provide timely alerts with contextual analysis.
Analyze campaign performance, audience engagement, sentiment shifts, and cultural relevance to measure effectiveness and optimize future strategies.
Provide nuanced insights into premium and luxury consumer behavior, cultural trends, aspirational positioning, and brand perception where relevant.

C. Reporting & Stakeholder Communication

Develop and deliver daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and ad-hoc reports, dashboards, presentations, and executive summaries.
Present findings and strategic recommendations to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders in a compelling and easy-to-understand manner.
Create post-campaign and post-event analysis reports highlighting impact, sentiment, audience response, and key learnings.
Support leadership teams with real-time insights during sensitive issues, announcements, launches, or high-visibility moments.
