Freelance Beauty Content Specialist — Makeup Brand

Full job description
We are looking for a freelance beauty content specialist to support a growing makeup brand through engaging, trend-focused content across TikTok and Instagram.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about beauty, social media marketing, and content creation, and enjoys turning products into educational, inspiring, and purchase-driven social media content.

This is a great opportunity for a part-time or full-time student studying marketing, social media, communications, beauty, or a related field who is looking to gain hands-on industry experience while building their portfolio. It is also a great fit for a creative freelancer who enjoys working independently and creating content in the beauty space.

The role will begin with scheduled in-office content days to provide hands-on training, brand education, and collaboration with the team. As familiarity with the brand, products, content expectations, and responsibilities grows, there may be opportunities for a more flexible schedule, including the ability to complete certain projects remotely.

This is a flexible freelance opportunity. Hours are not fixed; instead, content needs, filming days, and collaboration times will be planned around project priorities and freelancer availability.
