What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is organized, dependable, creative, and proactive. They enjoy both the creative and operational sides of social media and are comfortable moving between content production, publishing, research, and project coordination.

This person should be able to take creative direction, understand the objective behind a piece of content, and independently execute high-quality content that aligns with the overall vision. They should be comfortable owning production tasks while collaborating closely with the Social Media Manager on strategy, creative development, and growth initiatives.

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of their work and enjoys operating in a flexible environment. As a growing startup, there will be times when projects, creator communications, or timely content require work outside of a traditional schedule. We don’t expect people to be “always on,” but we do value adaptability, good judgment, and a willingness to meet the moment when opportunities arise.

What Success Looks Like

Within the first few months, you’d be helping:

• Increase content output without sacrificing quality
• Improve creator sourcing and outreach workflows
• Surface new opportunities before they’re obvious
• Strengthen audience engagement
• Help Alchemy discover and amplify exceptional creators
• Give the Social Media Manager more time to focus on strategy, creative direction, partnerships, and growth initiatives

As Alchemy continues to grow, there may be opportunities to take on additional responsibilities and advance within the organization.

How to Apply

Please submit:

• Your resume
• A portfolio showcasing relevant work. This should include examples of short-form video editing, content creation, or social media projects that demonstrate your creative judgment and visual taste.
• If applicable, include examples of projects where you’ve incorporated AI creative tools into your workflow. While AI-focused work isn’t required, we’re interested in seeing how you think, create, and use modern tools to produce high-quality content.
• A brief introduction explaining your interest in the role, and why you think you’d be a strong fit
• Links to any relevant social media accounts (if applicable)
• Examples of creators, content, or communities you think are underrated.
