• Write all captions and hooks in the brand voice, tailored to each platform’s audience
• Repurpose and reformat content across platforms so every version feels native rather than recycled

• Support Amazon A+ content with product visuals and creative assets
• Oversee social media posting across all platforms and maintain a consistent publishing rhythm
• Track content performance across channels and report on views, engagement, retention, and reach

• Keep raw footage, project files, and finished assets organized and easy to retrieve
• Collaborate with the brand manager on creative direction, priorities, and revisions

Mandatory Skills

• Proven experience editing short-form video content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
• Proficiency in Figma — this is a required tool for design and asset production
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and CapCut for video editing
• Strong video storytelling ability, with a track record of hooks that stop the scroll in the first three seconds
• Excellent copywriting skills for social captions and hooks, with the ability to write in a defined brand voice
• Understanding of platform-specific formats, aspect ratios, durations, and native best practices
• Ability to manage and post content across multiple social platforms
• Comfortable working with AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT to support content workflows
• Strong aesthetic sense, with authentic, original design work and an eye for premium visual quality
• Ability to read social media analytics and translate results into content decisions
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work independently

Preferred Skills

• Portfolio work with beauty, skincare, cosmetics, wellness, or prestige and luxury brands
• Experience with Amazon A+ content, listing images, or Amazon Seller Central creative
• Familiarity with Shopify and e-commerce product content

• Working knowledge of additional design tools such as Photoshop or Canva
• Familiarity with content scheduling and publishing tools
• Ability to manage multiple content projects and deadlines simultaneously
• Strong awareness of current beauty content trends, creators, and formats
