• One to two years’ experience in social media, content or a related marketing role. Relevant internships and placements will also be considered.
• A strong understanding of TikTok and Instagram, including what makes content feel engaging and native to each platform.
• Confidence filming and editing short-form video, including producing high-quality content using an iPhone.
• Experience using content creation and editing tools such as CapCut and Canva.
• Strong writing skills and an interest in copywriting and brand storytelling.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several priorities at once.
• A collaborative and enthusiastic approach.
• Confidence working behind the camera and, where appropriate, appearing in social content.
• Flexibility to travel regularly to Gaucho restaurants to capture content.
