Social Media Content Creator – Travel Platform (Early Stage)
We are an early stage travel platform connecting travellers with independent and self-employed travel agents. Many of the best travel experiences and deals are created by travel agents, but most travellers never discover them because they are hidden behind booking websites and comparison platforms. Our mission is to change that by helping travellers discover great trips through knowledgeable travel agents, while helping those agents focus on creating amazing travel experiences rather than spending all their time searching for new clients. Right now our social media presence is almost non-existent. We want to change that by becoming part of the travel conversation online and creating content that inspires travellers and highlights the expertise of travel agents. We are looking for a social media content creator who can help us build this presence through engaging visual and video content.

What You'll Be Doing You will be responsible for helping create and publish social media content that supports the growth of our travel brand. This includes: • Creating short-form video content for platforms such as TikTok and Instagram Reels • Producing visual content including carousels, graphics and simple animations • Creating longer-form video content where appropriate • Helping turn travel insights, ideas and stories into engaging content • Posting and managing content across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok • Experimenting with different formats and ideas to see what resonates with travellers • Supporting the growth of an engaged audience interested in travel This role is ideal for someone who enjoys travel, storytelling and creative content creation.
