We’re looking for a Freelance Social Media Manager to support an established business in the beauty and lifestyle sector.
This is a great fit for someone who can take ownership of the social media function, bring ideas to the table, and keep content moving with confidence. You’ll understand that strong social media content starts with knowing the brand, its audience, communication guidelines, goals, and priorities. Using that foundation, you’ll plan and create content that makes sense for the business.
Most of the work can be completed from home, though you’ll need to be available for periodic in-person content capture sessions in the local area.
This is an independent contractor opportunity.

Develop and manage monthly content plans that support consistent daily posting across the brand’s social platforms
Batch-create and prepare content in advance to maintain a consistent posting schedule
Help identify content themes, campaigns, and opportunities that make sense for the brand
Contribute ideas and recommendations that strengthen the overall social media direction
Write engaging captions, calls to action, and social copy that align with the brand’s voice
Schedule and publish approved content across relevant social platforms
Repurpose existing photo and video assets into additional social content
Participate in and help coordinate periodic in-person content capture sessions
Help plan what should be captured during content sessions so they’re efficient and produce useful content for repurposing
Organize social media content and digital assets for easy access and reuse
Monitor content performance and use insights to improve future content
Stay aware of relevant social media trends and identify the ones that make sense for the brand
Communicate proactively about content needs, approvals, priorities, and opportunities
Skills/background needed:
Demonstrated experience managing social media for a business or brand
Ability to take meaningful ownership of your work and work independently
A portfolio, examples, or references showing previous social media work
Understanding of how brand voice, audience, goals, and positioning influence content strategy

Organizational skills to manage content calendars, deadlines, approvals, and digital assets
Ability to interpret basic social media performance data and use it to improve future content
Reliability and responsiveness when working directly with a business owner
