• Receive and implement feedback to refine and improve content execution.

What you'll need to succeed

• Proven experience in content creation or social media engagement.
• A strong portfolio showcasing engaging social media content, particularly on TikTok and Instagram.
• Passion for beauty, trends, and innovative storytelling.
• Ability to shoot, edit, and produce high-quality content using a smartphone or camera.
• Basic proficiency in editing software (e.g., CapCut, Adobe Premiere Rush, Canva, or Lightroom for quick edits).
• Familiarity with social scheduling tools (e.g., Later, Planoly, Meta Business Suite).
• Basic copywriting skills for captions and post descriptions.
• Understanding of social media algorithms, audience-building techniques, and key performance metrics (e.g., reach, engagement, follower growth).
• Experience with influencer outreach and PR is a plus.
• Highly creative, self-motivated, and detail-oriented.
