Marketing Assistant + Short Form Video Editor

About us
We’re a sewing pattern and education company with a loyal, engaged community of makers. We publish sewing patterns, run a membership program, and produce educational video content — all with a clean, expert, no-nonsense brand voice. We’re a small, close-knit team that moves fast and cares about quality.

About the role
We’re looking for a sharp, visually-minded marketing assistant to help create and manage content across our social channels (Instagram, YouTube, Facebook ) and paid advertising (Google and Meta). You’ll work directly with our Marketing Director, with additional support from our Customer Support team.

This isn’t a “post and pray” job. We want someone who watches the numbers, spots what’s working (and what isn’t), and brings ideas to the table without being asked.

What you’ll do

• Edit Reels/Shorts from footage we supply — you understand pacing, have a strong eye for text and captions, and know exactly when to land a joke or a beat
• Source and compile UGC for use in Reels and carousels
• Reach out to followers to secure permission for UGC use
• Manage day-to-day community engagement — replying to comments and answering questions on YouTube and Instagram
• Monitor social traffic and engagement, and track campaign performance across channels
• Track competitor ads and similar niche lifestyle/influencer brands — flag what’s working for them and why
• Design visual assets for social posts and Meta ads (image and video) using Canva or similar tools

What we’re looking for

• Significant hands-on experience editing short-form video (Reels/Shorts/TikTok) — this is the core of the role, not a nice-to-have
• A strong visual eye and genuine sense of humor — you know what makes content stop the scroll, and when to land a joke
• Highly detail-oriented — you catch problems before they become issues and suggest solutions unprompted
• Efficient and reliable — you hit deadlines without needing to be chased
• Comfortable working independently and fully remote
• Proficient with Canva, Later, Google Ads, and Meta Ads Manager

Room to grow
This role is 10-20 hrs/week to start. If you’re great at it, there’s room to expand into a bigger role.

To apply
Send us your resume and links to 2-3 short-form videos you’ve edited (Reels, Shorts, TikTok — whatever you’ve got). We want to see your work, not just hear about it.
