Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a highly creative social media content creator and visual designer to help bring an upcoming brand to life across digital platforms. This is not a posting role. All content strategy, planning, and captions are already completed. We are looking for someone to execute and elevate that vision visually. About the Role You will be responsible for transforming pre-planned social media content into high-quality visual assets including images and short-form videos. Your focus will be execution, creative interpretation, and elevating the overall visual identity of the brand across platforms. We are building a brand in the beauty and hair space that is intentionally different from anything currently in the market. Because of that, we are looking for someone who can help develop a distinct, recognizable visual style and social presence from the ground up. What You’ll Do * Create engaging social media content (static posts, reels, short-form videos, and visual assets) * Translate provided content plans and captions into strong visual storytelling * Help shape a cohesive and recognizable visual identity across platforms * Provide creative feedback and suggestions based on your experience and what performs well on social media * Collaborate closely with our team to refine execution and improve output
 What We’re Looking For * Strong experience creating content specifically for social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, etc.) * A strong visual eye and understanding of current social media trends * Ability to think creatively and elevate concepts beyond templates * Experience in graphic design, content creation, or social-first creative roles * Someone who is deeply immersed in social media culture and understands what is trending and what performs well * Strong collaborator who is comfortable giving input and creative direction
 Important Notes * We are NOT looking for Canva template-based design work * We are looking for original, high-quality creative execution * You should be able to bring a strong creative perspective, not just follow instructions
 Portfolio Requirement Applicants must include a portfolio showcasing previous social media content work (Instagram posts, TikTok videos, reels, brand content, or similar creative work). Applications without examples of past work will not be considered. Screening Questions Please answer the following questions when applying: 1. Can you share examples of social media content you have created that best represents your creative style?
 2. How do you typically approach turning a content idea or caption into a strong visual concept?
 3. What trends or types of content are you currently most excited about in social media, and why?
 Compensation Compensation will be based on experience and skill level.
