About Social Chameleon
Social Chameleon is an independent, social-first agency founded in 2020. We’re a small but highly capable team delivering award-winning work for international clients across consumer tech, beauty, lifestyle and agriculture.
As we continue to scale, we’re looking for Social Media Assistants on a zero-hours basis to support the day-to-day delivery of social content and campaigns. Each hire will be dedicated to a single client account (we are currently hiring for two active accounts).
The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on, detail-oriented Social Media Assistant to support the delivery of organic and paid social content across key platforms.
Working closely with the Senior Social Strategist, as well as the Account Manager and Creative team, you’ll help bring strategies to life - from copywriting and ideation to scheduling, community management and ideation.
This role suits someone with strong platform knowledge, a good creative eye, and an analytical mindset, who’s looking to build experience within a fast-paced agency environment.

Community & Engagement
* Manage comments, DMs and replies across client channels
* Identify opportunities for engagement and reactive content
* Flag any sensitive or high-priority interactions to the Senior Social Strategist
Performance & Optimisation

* Assist in identifying insights and optimisation opportunities
* Help maintain reporting dashboards and performance trackers
Team & Agency Support
* Work closely with the Senior Social Strategist, Account Manager and Creative team
* Support the delivery of campaigns alongside influencer, paid media and content teams
* Assist with content audits, competitor reviews and research

About You
You’ll thrive in this role if you bring:
* 1–2 years’ experience in a social media, content or digital marketing role (agency or brand-side)
* Strong understanding of Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn (formats, features and best practice)
* Confidence in copywriting and tone of voice adaptation
* Experience creating or contributing to content briefs and ideation
* A good creative eye and understanding of what performs on social
* An analytical mindset and comfort working with performance data
* Strong organisation, attention to detail and time management
* Proficiency in native platform tools and scheduling platforms (e.g. Meta, TikTok, Hootsuite, etc.)
