Social Media Content Designer & Short-Form Video Editor | Long-Term Role

We’re a boutique Australian social media agency looking for a talented Social Media Content Designer & Short-Form Video Editor to join our growing team on a long-term, part-time basis.

This is not a general VA role.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves the creative side of social media. Someone with a strong eye for design, who understands what makes short-form video engaging, and can take an approved content brief and turn it into polished, on-brand content without needing constant direction.

You’ll be working across established Australian service and lifestyle brands in industries including jewellery, health and wellness, home improvement and professional services.

We have high creative standards, but we also value efficiency. Great work matters, but we don’t believe every carousel needs hours of unnecessary tweaking.

WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Your main responsibilities will include:

Designing Instagram carousels and social media graphics in Canva
Editing short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts
Turning raw footage into polished, engaging social content
Adding text overlays, captions, B-roll, music and sound where appropriate
Creating Reel covers and supporting social media assets
Working from established brand guidelines, templates, copy and content briefs
Sourcing suitable imagery and visual assets where required
Identifying emerging short-form video formats and creative trends
Suggesting creative Reel and video concepts that could be adapted for individual clients
Contributing ideas for content shoots, B-roll and video execution
Keeping up with changes in short-form video, editing styles and social media creative

We don’t blindly follow trends. Strategy and messaging come first.

But we do want someone who understands what’s happening creatively on Instagram and TikTok and can identify opportunities that make sense for a specific brand.

YOU’LL BE A GREAT FIT IF YOU
Have professional experience creating social media content
Have a strong portfolio showing BOTH social media design and short-form video editing
Are highly skilled in Canva
Are confident using CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro or similar editing software
Understand Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts
Have a strong understanding of hooks, pacing and viewer retention
Understand typography, hierarchy, spacing and composition
Can follow established brand guidelines closely
Can work across multiple brands without making them all look the same
Have excellent attention to detail
Work efficiently and make strong creative decisions without endlessly tweaking
Communicate clearly and reliably
Can manage deadlines without being chased
Take feedback well and apply it to future work
Can work independently without constant supervision

Experience working with Australian, UK, US or other international brands is highly regarded.

WHAT WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR

We’re not looking for someone who simply drops text into a Canva template.

We’re not looking for overly flashy editing for the sake of it.

We’re not looking for someone who blindly copies whatever is trending.

We’re not looking for someone who needs every creative decision explained to them.

And we’re not looking for someone who produces beautiful work but takes an excessive amount of time to create it.

We care about quality, creative judgement, attention to detail and efficiency.

Our clients trust us with their brands, so the standard of the work matters.
