Social Media Marketing Assistant — Contractor

We’re looking for a creative, organised and proactive Social Media Marketing Assistant to join our small team and support a growing portfolio of FMCG and e-commerce brands.

You’ll work closely with two experienced Social Media Managers, assisting across a variety of client accounts and day-to-day social media tasks. This is a excellent opportunity for someone with 1–2 years of experience who wants to build their skills, work across exciting brands and gain hands-on experience.

The role

Your responsibilities will include

- Scheduling and publishing social media content across platforms including Instagram, Facebook and TikTok

- Editing short-form video and Reels using CapCut

- Writing engaging, on-brand social media captions and copy

- Assisting with monthly social media reporting and interpreting key performance metrics

- Organising content, assets and social media calendars

- Supporting community management and general account maintenance

- Assisting with content creation and other marketing tasks as required

- Working across multiple client accounts while keeping tasks, deadlines and deliverables organised

About you

We’d love to hear from someone who:

- Has approximately 1–2 years of experience in social media, digital marketing, content creation or a similar role

- Is confident using Instagram, TikTok and Facebook

- Has experience editing short-form video in CapCut





- 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

- Has a basic understanding of social media analytics and reporting

Experience working with FMCG, food, lifestyle or e-commerce brands would be a bonus, but isn’t essential.

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. There is potential for the role to grow over time as our client base expands.

We’re looking for someone who can become a reliable part of the team rather than simply completing one-off tasks — someone we can trust with our clients and gradually give more responsibility to.

How to apply

Please send through your CV and a portfolio or examples of social media/content work you’ve created or managed.

We’d also love to hear a little about you, the types of brands you’ve worked with and why this role interests you.

Please include your availability and contractor hourly rate in your application.
