Pay: $1.50 USD per hour

About the Role
I am looking for a long-term Creative Brand, Social Media & Design Assistant to join my team for a growing collectible product based business.
I already have an assistant who works with me on an ongoing basis, and I am looking to add another creative person as the workload continues to grow. I am also looking for someone who can bring fresh ideas, creativity, and a new perspective to help strengthen the branding, social media presence, and overall brand recognition of the business.
This is an ongoing position rather than a project based freelance role. I am looking for someone who can become familiar with the business, learn my design preferences, contribute ideas, and eventually work independently without requiring constant direction.
Compensation & Hours
The position pays $1.50 USD per hour and is intended to provide approximately 8 hours of work per day, 5 days per week, for up to approximately 40 hours per week.
The workload may fluctuate depending on product launches, events, presales, marketing needs, and other business activities.
Your exact working schedule can be flexible. I do not require you to work one specific 8 hour block every day.
However, you must have strong availability during Pacific Time (PST/PDT) because this is when I will generally be communicating, assigning projects, providing feedback, and requesting revisions.
I am looking for someone who can structure their workday around the needs of the business while maintaining good communication and meeting deadlines.
Communication & Availability
You do not need to sit at your computer waiting for a message every minute of the day, but communication and responsiveness are extremely important for this role.
You should:
• Have regular availability during Pacific Time
• Check messages consistently throughout your working day
• Generally respond within approximately 30 minutes to one hour during working hours
• Communicate if you will be unavailable
• Keep me updated on projects without requiring me to constantly follow up
• Be flexible when launches or other time sensitive business needs arise
Communication will primarily take place through WhatsApp, and read receipts must remain enabled so I can easily see when important messages have been received.
Required Design Experience
I am specifically looking for someone experienced with:
Canva
Canva will be one of the primary design platforms used for the business.
You should be highly comfortable with:
• Creating polished and professional Canva designs
• Editing existing Canva files
• Creating reusable templates
• Organizing design files properly
• Resizing designs for different platforms
• Updating product images, dates, pricing, and launch information
• Using brand fonts, colors, graphics, and logos consistently
• Creating social posts, stories, flyers, and promotional graphics
Adobe Illustrator
You should be comfortable using Adobe Illustrator for:
• Vector graphics
• Packaging layouts
• Print materials
• Brand assets
• Product collateral
• Preparing artwork for professional printing
• Working with existing vector files
Adobe Express
You should also be familiar with Adobe Express for:
• Social media content
• Resizing creative assets
• Quick promotional graphics
• Digital marketing materials
• Other recurring content needs
Social Media & Brand Development
Strong social media knowledge is also important.
I want someone who understands how to create content for a product based business and can help develop a more consistent and recognizable social media identity.
You may help create:
• Instagram posts
• Instagram Stories
• Reel covers
• Product launch graphics
• Presale announcements
• In hand sale graphics
• Restock announcements
• Coming soon posts
• Production updates
• Giveaways
• Event announcements
• Collection spotlights
• Promotional content
• Informational posts
I am also looking for someone who can contribute new content ideas and suggestions for improving the brand, rather than only waiting for me to provide every idea.
Helping Build the Brand
The business already has an established professional brand guide. I am not looking for a new logo or complete rebrand.
Instead, I want someone who can help expand the existing branding and make it stronger and more recognizable across every area of the business.
This may include:
• Social media systems
• Packaging
• Business cards
• Thank you cards
• Product backing cards
• Order inserts
• Website graphics
•
• Event signage
• Vendor materials
• Promotional materials
• Customer experience materials
• New recurring content concepts
• Additional branded templates
The goal is for the business to feel like a cohesive and recognizable brand across social media, packaging, events, the website, and customer orders.
Independent Working Style
I am looking for someone who does not require micromanagement.
I will provide direction, brand materials, examples, product information, and feedback, especially while you are learning the business.
However, I expect you to eventually be able to take a request and develop it independently.
The ideal candidate:
• Takes initiative
• Brings new creative ideas
• Works independently
• Learns quickly from feedback
• Pays close attention to detail
• Keeps track of assignments and deadlines
• Does not need constant reminders
• Communicates clearly
• Is organized and dependable
• Understands brand consistency
• Can prioritize multiple projects
• Is comfortable with changing priorities
Over time, I want you to learn my likes, dislikes, and design preferences so that I do not need to repeat the same direction for every project.
Ideal Candidate
I am looking for someone with strong experience in:
• Canva
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Express
• Graphic design
• Social media
• Instagram content creation
• Branding and brand development
• Ecommerce
• Product based businesses
• Packaging design
• Print collateral
• Marketing graphics
• Creating editable templates
Experience with collectibles, enamel pins, fandom brands, stationery, boutique ecommerce, luxury packaging, or similar product based businesses is a major plus.
Most importantly, I am looking for someone who is creative, dependable, responsive, independent, and interested in becoming a long term part of the team.
