- Proven experience growing audiences through TikTok and/or Instagram Reels
- Deep understanding of platform algorithms, engagement triggers, and trends

Performance and analytical thinking
- Ability to review content performance, extract insights, and adapt strategy
- Experience using platform analytics tools and spreadsheets for reporting
- Performance-focused mindset – you care about results and optimisation, not vanity metrics
Project management and ownership

- High accountability – you own your role, outcomes, and communication
- Comfortable working in a remote, high-trust environment with little supervision
Soft skills and personal traits
- Fast-thinking, proactive, and not afraid to challenge ideas to improve execution
- Native fluency in TikTok and Reels culture – you understand structure, humour, and content psychology
- Clear communicator with a collaborative spirit and the ability to give and receive feedback
What success looks like
- Consistent content performance and audience growth across campaigns
- Clear, data-driven approach to improving creative output
- High-impact videos that align with platform trends and brand voice
- End-to-end ownership of content – from ideation to performance insights
What you’ll get
- Full autonomy and no micromanagement – you’ll own your process
- Remote and flexible working environment – we care about output, not hours
