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.

Software skills

• Video editing tools such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut or Filmora.

• 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.

• Email marketing platform: Klaviyo, Mailchimp or ActiveCampaign. Klaviyo experience is an advantage but not essential.

• Google Workspace and Loom.

We want to hear from you if you have…

• 4-5 years experience working remotely as a social media, content or creative VA for US, Australian or European clients.

• A portfolio of short-form videos you have personally edited. We want to see your work!

• Proven experience editing for Instagram Reels and TikTok, with a real understanding of hooks and retention.

• Experience creating static creative for e-commerce or direct-to-consumer brands.

• Some hands-on email marketing experience.

• Strong English and communication skills, written and spoken.

• Exceptional attention to detail.

• Experience working with AI tools as part of your creative process.

You must also be someone that…

• Owns the role. You bring ideas, push back when something won't work.

• Takes real pride in the work and wants the brand to look better because you are on it.

• 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.

• Is excited to grow with a brand rather than just completing tasks.
