  • Coordinate with internal teams for creative assets and content approvals
  • Monitor comments, DMs, and community interactions and respond promptly
  • Track engagement and performance metrics
  • Maintain organised content calendars and posting workflows
  • Identify opportunities for improvement and support other social tasks as they arise
  • Use AI tools (such as GPT or image generators) to enhance efficiency and productivity

Requirements

  • 1-3 years of experience managing social media accounts, preferably across multiple brands
  • Strong understanding of Instagram and TikTok platforms, trends, and engagement best practices
  • Excellent written English and communication skills
  • Organised, detail-oriented, and proactive about problem-solving
  • Familiar with social scheduling and analytics tools (Buffer, or similar)
  • Comfortable using AI tools to streamline execution and content management
  • Able to work independently and communicate clearly with the team
  • A video sent to our operations email is REQUIRED, no video = no consideration, see below
  • Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience with short-form video editing (CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar)
  • Previous experience in eCommerce or agency environments
  • Understanding of paid social campaigns and content performance
