Social Media VA (Video Editing & Content) (Remote)

The Position

Were looking for a genuinely creative Social Media VA who lives and breathes short-form video, to join a fast growing Australian e-commerce brand. This is a role for someone who can take raw phone footage and turn it into scroll-stopping reels, build statics that convert, and bring their own ideas to the table rather than waiting to be told what to make.

This is a role like no other. You get to:

• Work remotely from the comfort of your home.

• Own the creative output of a growing brand, from reels and statics through to email campaigns.

• Work directly with the business owner, who wants your ideas and will back them.

• Build the content engine for a business heading into its biggest growth period yet.

If youre a creative who is sick of being handed a brief and wants to actually shape the work, we want to hear from you!

The Details

• Job Location: Remote, work from home

• Company Location: Australia

• Job Type: Full-time, 40 hours per week

• Work Hours (PH Time): 7:00 am – 3:30 pm (TBC)

• Learn and respect the brands compliance rules, including what claims can and cannot be made.
