Job Description

We’re looking for a creative, detail-oriented Freelance Social Media Content Creator with a background in the biological sciences to join our boutique marketing and strategy agency. We work with small businesses and non-profits to turn ideas into engaging blog posts and social content. This role is fully remote and project-based, meaning work will come in batches rather than on a strict weekly schedule.

If you love brainstorming, writing, and designing posts that tell a story, and you’re comfortable working independently after a Zoom chat, this could be a great fit.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate over Zoom to brainstorm content themes and campaigns.
• Write blog posts with SEO keywords (it’s fine to use AI - but it needs to be edited to be engaging and personalized).
• Generate social media post ideas from blog content (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn).
• Source images/graphics.
• Create engaging social posts in Canva (graphics, carousels, reels ideas, etc.).
• Pitch and develop other creative post ideas (fun, seasonal, or community-driven).
• Help create posts and content that you’d like to see in your own feed.

Requirements

• Strong verbal and written communication skills (fluent English required).
• Background in the biological sciences.
• Experience with Canva and familiarity with stock photo sourcing.
• Basic understanding of SEO for blog writing (keyword research will be provided if unfamiliar).
• Organized, reliable, and able to manage deadlines independently.
• Comfortable working remotely and communicating clearly with a distributed team.
• Comfortable using AI tools thoughtfully and effectively; subpar AI content is not acceptable.

Additional Information

Pay
$25–$30 per hour, depending on experience.

Workload will vary — expect batches of work rather than consistent weekly hours.
