  • Collaborate with the marketing team to understand campaign goals and tailor content accordingly.
  • Resize and adapt content for different platform specifications and aspect ratios.
  • Research relevant hashtags and trending topics to increase content visibility.
  • Maintain an organized library of content assets.
Requirements

  • Excellent understanding of visual aesthetics and copywriting for social media.
  • Familiarity with major social media platforms (Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, etc.) and their content requirements.
  • Ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and meet deadlines.
  • Strong communication skills, particularly in written English.
  • A proactive attitude with a willingness to learn and experiment with new ideas.
  • Passion for e-commerce and digital marketing.
  • High school diploma or equivalent; a college degree or relevant coursework is a plus.
