Remote Social Media Content Creator—UK
About Social Media Content Creator
We are seeking a talented, creative, and self-driven Social Media Content Creator to join our team on a freelance, remote basis. As a content creator, you will play a vital role in building our clients’ brand presence, engaging audiences, and crafting compelling content tailored for various social platforms. If you live and breathe social media trends, have an eye for design, and can write copy that captures attention in under 280 characters—this role is for you.
This is a remote-only position, open exclusively to candidates residing in the United Kingdom. You’ll be working closely with our digital marketing team, designers, and client leads to plan, create, and schedule content across platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter).
Key Responsibilities of Social Media Content Creator
- Develop, design, and write high-quality social media content tailored for different client brands and platforms.
- Stay ahead of digital trends, memes, and relevant platform updates to ensure content remains fresh and engaging.
- Plan and maintain a consistent posting schedule using tools like Buffer, Later, or Hootsuite.

- Participate in virtual client calls to pitch content ideas and provide updates on campaign progress.
- Coordinate with designers or video editors (when necessary) to enhance multimedia content.
- Assist in community management—responding to comments or DMs when requested.

You understand what makes content go viral and how to shape posts that resonate with niche audiences. You’re a natural storyteller, a visual thinker, and a skilled copywriter who can switch tones between B2B and B2C with ease.
We’re looking for a self-starter who thrives in a freelance environment, is organized with their workflow, and is comfortable juggling multiple brand voices. If you’re the kind of person who scrolls TikTok or Instagram and thinks “I can do that—but better,” we want to hear from you.
