- Organised & Detail-Oriented: Strong planning skills, pre-emptive thinking, and a sharp eye for detail. You can manage your time, work autonomously, and deliver polished results.
- Social Media Savvy: A natural at understanding each platform’s purpose and audience — knowing what works, what doesn’t, and what’s worth testing, whether it's TikTok entertainment or Instagram storytelling.
- Design Experience: Confident in design software with experience creating standout visuals across digital platforms. You'll be our go-to in-house designer, ensuring everything looks sharp, cohesive, and on-brand.
