Social-First Content & Design Specialist

Overview

Our client is looking for a social-first content creator who understands what performs on social media and can move quickly from brief to execution. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys turning ideas into engaging short-form content across multiple platforms.

The ideal candidate combines creative execution with strategic thinking, someone who can design compelling static posts, create engaging short-form video, and understand the broader social media marketing objectives behind the content.

The majority of the work is practical, performance-driven social content designed to sell event tickets, drive sign-ups, and build engaged communities. You’ll be taking clear concepts or objectives and executing them quickly using existing assets (footage, photography, templates, and brand guidelines).

You’ll be working across multiple client accounts of varying sizes, meaning the style, pace, and requirements will change frequently. They are looking for someone who thrives in that environment and can apply strong creative judgement without needing step-by-step instructions.
