  • Schedule and optimize posts for engagement
  • Proactively suggest content ideas aligned with brand goals

Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

  • Proven experience growing TikTok or Instagram accounts
  • Strong understanding of TikTok trends and storytelling
  • Advanced Canva and CapCut skills
  • Experience working with UGC creators
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to follow briefs
  • Strong communication and accountability

Nice to Have

  • Understanding of brand aesthetics and emotional storytelling

Trial

This role will begin with a 30-day paid trial to assess fit, creativity, and execution quality.
