Content Creator

About the role

We are hiring an inventive, ideas-led Content Creator to help shape our presence across social channels, with a primary focus on Instagram and TikTok. This is a practical, high-energy position for someone who naturally thinks in content, keeps an eye on trends, and is happy to pick up an iPhone and start shooting.

The role involves creating content that feels timely, authentic, and engaging, whether that means using trending formats, capturing behind-the-scenes moments in the warehouse, or heading out for street interviews. A key part of the job is translating the brand’s personality, values, and identity into platform-appropriate content that resonates with the right audience without losing what makes the brand distinct.

You will help define how the brand should appear and sound on Instagram and TikTok, bringing fresh energy through experimentation, testing, and audience-focused storytelling. The ideal person is confident, imaginative, comfortable both on camera and behind it, and ready to make a visible impact.

Responsibilities

• Develop original content concepts that support engagement goals across Instagram and TikTok, guided by the Social Media Manager’s strategy.
• Turn the brand’s identity, values, and tone into content styles that suit each platform and audience.
• Help shape the look and feel of the brand on social while staying true to its core personality.
• Film content in a range of settings, including the office, warehouse, events, and while on the move, using an iPhone.
• Edit short-form videos in CapCut or similar tools to achieve a native, platform-first style.
• Appear on camera when required and bring energy and personality to content.
• Produce reactive, trend-driven content quickly and creatively.
• Contribute to street interviews, behind-the-scenes clips, GRWM content, and day-in-the-life videos.
• Work closely with marketing and brand teams to keep content aligned with campaigns and key brand moments.
• Review performance regularly, refine ideas, and improve content based on engagement data.
• Track social trends, creators, and platform changes, and bring new ideas to the team.

Requirements

• Strong interest in content creation, social media, and storytelling.
• Good understanding of how Instagram and TikTok differ and how content should be adapted for each.
• Proactive mindset with the ability to generate and execute ideas independently.
• Confidence on camera as well as behind the camera.
• Comfort filming in varied environments and responding quickly in the moment.
• Practical editing ability using CapCut or a similar short-form video tool.
• A clear sense of what makes content attention-grabbing and engaging.
• Willingness to test new ideas, take creative risks, and explore different formats.
• Positive, collaborative, and energetic approach to work.
• Strong enthusiasm for beauty and skincare.

About the company
