Virtual Assistant – Social Media & Graphic Design

Virtual Assistant – Social Media & Graphic Design

Job Overview:

Brandmade, a creative brand strategy agency that thrives on transforming experiences into meaningful connections, is looking for an exceptional Virtual Assistant – Social Media & Graphic Design to help us scale our impact. If you’re a detail-oriented, creative professional who loves turning pre-approved content into visually stunning posts—and you’re ready to take initiative and show us new ways to elevate our social media game—then we want to hear from you!

This role is an opportunity to grow alongside our brand and potentially take on larger client-facing projects as our business expands. We’re seeking a proactive collaborator who isn’t just looking for another "gig" but wants to become a long-term, valued part of our dynamic and creative team.

About Brandmade:
We help businesses that thrive on creating unforgettable moments—venues, festivals, event spaces—stand out with authentic, personality-driven strategies. We believe that content is only valuable if it captures the brand’s true essence. Our collaborative approach means that we work hand-in-hand with businesses to create strategies and content that resonate with their audience and drive engagement.

At Brandmade, we value creativity, innovation, and human connection. You’ll have creative freedom, flexible hours, and the chance to make a real impact as we scale.

The Opportunity:
To ensure a strong fit, this role begins with a paid trial project where you’ll format and design an Instagram carousel based on pre-approved content. This trial will help both of us see if our working styles align. Success in this project will open the door to broader responsibilities, including managing performance reports, designing across platforms, and refining social media workflows.

We highly value your initiative and input. If you can identify more ways to contribute to our team—whether through improved workflows, creative post ideas, or other areas of your expertise—we’ll gladly provide you with more work and hours to reflect your skills and contributions. We’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us, and we’ll support that growth every step of the way.

Key Responsibilities:
Format, design, and post pre-approved social media content on LinkedIn, Instagram, and other platforms
Create visually engaging posts using Canva (or similar) to elevate content presentation
Recommend and implement scheduling tools to streamline the posting process
Track key performance metrics (impressions, engagement, follower growth) and compile data into actionable reports
Collaborate on creating systems and processes that improve content delivery efficiency
Stay up-to-date with social media trends and recommend improvements to keep posts fresh and engaging
Proactively suggest creative solutions and process optimizations to help our content and brand strategy stand out
What We’re Looking For:
Must-Have Skills:

Strong proficiency in graphic design tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe Spark)
Experience with social media management and scheduling tools (e.g., Later, Buffer, Hootsuite)
Ability to track and report performance metrics in a meaningful way
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
Strong organizational abilities, with the initiative to suggest and implement process improvements
Desirable but Not Essential:

Basic video editing skills for Instagram Reels and LinkedIn posts (e.g., using CapCut or VN Editor)
Familiarity with photo editing tools like Adobe Lightroom for minor touch-ups
Familiarity with invoicing software, particularly Xero, to assist with simple invoicing tasks
Familiarity with engagement strategies (e.g., hashtags, audience interaction)
Experience in the events, hospitality, or entertainment industry
Work Conditions:
Flexible hours: You can work your own schedule, but key deliverables should align with our core hours (11am–8pm Sydney time).
Collaborative but autonomous: You’ll have the creative autonomy to manage your workflow while staying aligned through regular check-ins.
Opportunities for growth as we expand into full client social media management services.
Why You’ll Love Working with Brandmade:
Creative freedom: Shape your workflow and have a hand in improving our processes.
Collaborative culture: Work alongside a passionate brand strategist with a vision for growth and meaningful impact.
Your input matters: We value your contributions immensely and want to see you thrive.
Room to grow: As our client base expands, your role will evolve, giving you opportunities to take on more responsibilities and creative challenges.
Next Steps:
If you’re excited about the opportunity to help us scale while showcasing your social media and design expertise, we’d love to see your work!

To apply:

Submit your portfolio, showcasing your most visually engaging social media posts.
Include a brief summary of your relevant experience.
To show us that you’ve read the full description carefully, include the word “BINGO” at the start of your application message.
Bonus: Be prepared to complete a paid trial project where you’ll design an Instagram carousel to evaluate fit.
