- Is confident using Instagram, TikTok and Facebook
- Has strong copywriting skills and an eye for what makes good social content
- Understands social media trends and is genuinely interested in the digital space
- Is organised, reliable and comfortable juggling multiple brands and deadlines
- Has good attention to detail and can follow different brand guidelines and tones of voice
- Is comfortable working independently while also collaborating closely with a small team

The details
This is a contractor position working with two freelance Social Media Managers and supporting their respective client portfolios. Estimated approximately 2 days per week.
