From big brand activations to product launches and major events, you’ll be on hand to capture content, and translate them onto our feed.

Good understanding of Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest, and how content performs on each platform. Be obsessed with content! Always thinking about what’s working, what’s not, what ideas you can bring to the table. Confidence to proactively bring new ideas forward — always looking for the next opportunity or trend. Build a strong understanding of the brand tone of voice and how to apply it consistently. A creative mindset with the ability to create simple, engaging, trend-led content. Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail. A proactive, self-starter attitude — willing to roll up your sleeves in a small, lean team.
