Social Media Virtual Assistant

Social Media Virtual Assistant — Video Editing, Graphic Design & Content Ops

Type: Contract / Part-time (remote)
Reports to: Juan Lucas McCarthy
Focus: Supporting social media management for multiple client brands

The Role

I run social media strategy, creative direction, and production for a handful of brands. I'm looking for a VA to take partial ownership of execution — video editing, graphic design, and day-to-day content operations — so I can stay focused on strategy and creative direction rather than the hands-on production work.

This is not an entry-level "learn on the job" role. You should already be fluent in the tools below and able to work from a brand guide/SOP with minimal hand-holding.

What You'll Own

Video editing — cutting raw iPhone footage into finished reels/posts, sound design basics (music sync, levels), keeping a consistent look across clips
Graphic design — Instagram post/story templates, cover art, typography-driven graphics, on-brand asset creation from reference decks
Content operations — scheduling posts across platforms, formatting captions to brand voice, light community management (comments/DMs, basic reporting)

Required Skills

Video editing: Proficient cutting and editing iPhone-shot footage in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or equivalent — clean cuts, pacing, and sound sync for social-first content
Graphic design: Proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, plus Canva for fast-turnaround assets
Reliability: Able to follow a brand guide/SOP independently, hit deadlines without reminders, and communicate proactively when something's off track

Nice to Have

Color grading experience (matching footage, applying a consistent grade beyond basic filters)
Lightroom proficiency (photo editing/color for stills)
Experience managing content calendars/scheduling tools (Later, Planoly, Meta Business Suite, etc.)
Prior experience supporting multiple client accounts at once

How to Apply

Email ---------- with the subject line "Social Media VA — [Your Name]" and include:

Portfolio/reel — links to 2–3 pieces of video work that show your editing (ideally shot on iPhone or similar — I want to see how you handle that raw footage specifically)
Design samples — 5–6 graphic design pieces, ideally social-first (IG posts, stories, covers) ** Differentiate the Styles and show a range of work capacity

Shortlisted candidates will be given a short paid test task before final selection.
