About the Role:
We are seeking an organized and proactive Freelance Social Media & Marketing Assistant to run our day-to-day social media and support the wider marketing operation.

- Proven expertise in makeup and beauty, ideally through employment experience or content creation.
- Demonstrated proficiency with TikTok, Instagram Reels, CapCut, and Canva.

- Confident filming yourself, with the ability to craft engaging content ideas, hooks, and scripts with minimal direction.
- Strong understanding of North American social media trends, pop culture, and aesthetics.
- Experience in social media or ecommerce marketing, ideally for beauty or DTC brand.
- Reliable, organized, and responsive, with strong attention to detail and the ability to consistently meet deadlines.
- Comfortable learning project and ops tools such as Asana.

What We Offer:
- Flexible hours.
