Ensure content and creative assets are properly uploaded and live
Reporting & Admin
Pull performance reports from Meta, Google, and other platforms
Compile KPI summaries using AI tools and/or existing reporting templates
Track key metrics and flag notable trends to Rachel on a regular basis
Assist with general admin and workflow coordination across client accounts
Must-Haves
Strong understanding of social media platforms and what performs well organically
Proficiency in Canva — able to work within templates and maintain brand consistency

Application Note
Please include a portfolio or work samples with your application — even a few examples of social posts, Canva designs, or content you've created. These don't need to be extensive; we just want to see your eye for content and your style.
If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced creative environment, loves social media, and wants to contribute to real client results, we'd love to hear from you.
