The Position
We're looking for a genuinely creative Social Media VA who lives and breathes short-form video, to join a quick 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 you're 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)
MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
Video Editing & Short-Form Content
- Edit raw founder-filmed footage into high-performing reels for Instagram and TikTok.
- Build strong hooks that stop the scroll in the first three seconds.
- Pull usable snippets out of longer videos and interviews, and turn them into standalone content.
- Produce multiple variations of content that is already performing well.
Graphics & Static Creative
- Design static creative in Canva for social and paid campaigns.
- Keep every piece on brand, accurate and consistent, including product names and claims.
- Research what competitors and strong brands are doing, and bring back ideas worth testing.
Email Marketing Support
- Build and send email campaigns for new product drops and promotions.
- Review the existing email flows and recommend where they could be improved.
- Act on those improvements once they are agreed.
Creative Direction & Collaboration
- Bring ideas to the founder rather than waiting for a brief, including what to film next.
- Maintain the content calendar and work ahead of key dates and promotions.
- Keep all content, captions and assets organised in a shared system the whole business can access.
- Learn and respect the brand's compliance rules, including what claims can and cannot be made.
Software skills
- Video editing tools such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut or Filmora.
- Canva. Adobe Creative Suite is a bonus, not a requirement.
- Instagram and TikTok, with a strong understanding of what performs on each.
- AI tools for content and ideation, including Claude, ChatGPT or similar.
- Email marketing platform: Klaviyo, Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign. Klaviyo experience is an advantage but not essential.
- Google Workspace and Loom.
We want to hear from you if you have…
- 4-5 years experience working remotely as a social media, content or creative VA for US, Australian or European clients.
- A portfolio of short-form videos you have personally edited. We want to see your work!
- Proven experience editing for Instagram Reels and TikTok, with a real understanding of hooks and retention.
- Experience creating static creative for e-commerce or direct-to-consumer brands.
- Some hands-on email marketing experience.
- Strong English and communication skills, written and spoken.
- Exceptional attention to detail.
- Experience working with AI tools as part of your creative process.
You must also be someone that…
- Owns the role. You bring ideas, push back when something won't work.
- Takes real pride in the work and wants the brand to look better because you are on it.
- Understands that authenticity beats louder for this brand.
- Works well under deadlines and can handle a busy period without dropping quality.
- Keeps everything documented and shared.
- Is excited to grow with a brand rather than just completing tasks.
