Description:

Do you instinctively spot content opportunities everywhere? Are you the person who knows which trends are worth jumping on and which ones should stay offline? Can you turn everyday moments into engaging social-first posts that people actually want to watch/read?

PeopleBunch and Purple Jay Nurseries are looking for a creative and enthusiastic Social Media Executive to join our growing team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves creating engaging content, bringing stories to life through video, and making an impact through social media.

Working directly with the Founder and Marketing Manager, you will be responsible for producing high-quality content that showcases our brands across multiple digital platforms. If you're passionate about content creation, confident behind the camera, and skilled at turning ideas into engaging videos, we'd love to hear from you.

We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and experiences.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Planning, filming and editing engaging Reels, TikToks, long and short-form video content
• Creating content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn
• Managing and maintaining social media channels across both brands
• Producing high-quality video edits using editing software such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or similar
• Capturing photography that reflects the personality and values of our brands
• Designing and editing creative assets for social media campaigns and day-to-day content needs
• Writing clear, engaging captions and social copy tailored to each platform
• Working closely with the Marketing Manager to brainstorm and execute content ideas
• Visiting nursery settings and office locations to capture authentic moments and stories
• Keeping up with emerging social media trends, formats and best practices
• Monitoring content performance and identifying opportunities to improve engagement.
