Creative Social Media VA (Video Editing & Content) - WFH Remote

The Position

We're looking for a genuinely creative Social Media VA who lives and breathes short-form video, to join a fast growing Australian e-commerce brand. This is a role for someone who can take raw phone footage and turn it into scroll-stopping reels, build statics that convert, and bring their own ideas to the table rather than waiting to be told what to make.

This is a role like no other. You get to:

• Work remotely from the comfort of your home.
• Own the creative output of a growing brand, from reels and statics through to email campaigns.
• Work directly with the business owner, who wants your ideas and will back them.
• Build the content engine for a business heading into its biggest growth period yet.

If you're a creative who is sick of being handed a brief and wants to actually shape the work, we want to hear from you!

The Details

• Job Location: Remote, work from home
• Company Location: Australia
• Job Type: Full-time, 40 hours per week
• Work Hours (PH Time): 7:00 am – 3:30 pm (TBC)

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

Video Editing & Short-Form Content

• Edit raw founder-filmed footage into high-performing reels for Instagram and TikTok.
• Build strong hooks that stop the scroll in the first three seconds.
• Pull usable snippets out of longer videos and interviews, and turn them into standalone content.
• Produce multiple variations of content that is already performing well.

Graphics & Static Creative

• Design static creative in Canva for social and paid campaigns.
• Keep every piece on brand, accurate and consistent, including product names and claims.
• Research what competitors and strong brands are doing, and bring back ideas worth testing.

Email Marketing Support

• Build and send email campaigns for new product drops and promotions.
• Review the existing email flows and recommend where they could be improved.
• Act on those improvements once they are agreed.

Creative Direction & Collaboration

• Bring ideas to the founder rather than waiting for a brief, including what to film next.
• Maintain the content calendar and work ahead of key dates and promotions.
• Keep all content, captions and assets organised in a shared system the whole business can access.
• Learn and respect the brand's compliance rules, including what claims can and cannot be made.

• Canva. Adobe Creative Suite is a bonus, not a requirement.
• Instagram and TikTok, with a strong understanding of what performs on each.
• AI tools for content and ideation, including Claude, ChatGPT or similar.

• Some hands-on email marketing experience.
• Strong English and communication skills, written and spoken.

• Understands that authenticity beats louder for this brand.
• Works well under deadlines and can handle a busy period without dropping quality.
• Keeps everything documented and shared.
