Job Description

Job Info Location: ACTON, ACT Salary: Award Job Type: Permanent position | Full time position Job DescriptionSocial Media Specialist & Designer Botanist Creative Canberra We dont do boring. Botanist Creative is a hospitality-focused marketing agency working with some of the best venues in Canberra (and beyond). We build brands that feel alive. We shoot content that actually moves people. We run ads that turn into bookings. Now were looking for someone who can sit right in the middle of strategy and design someone who can think, create and execute. Not just post. Build. The Role Youll be our Social Media Specialist & Designer. That means youre equally comfortable planning a month of content that makes sense commercially, designing a killer A1 poster for a pub event, turning a food shoot into scroll-stopping content, building ad creative that converts, and actually understanding why something works. Youll work across restaurants, pubs, bars, precincts and hospitality groups. No two weeks look the same. What Youll Be Doing Creating monthly and fortnightly content plans Designing graphics, menus, posters, table talkers and digital ads Editing reels and short-form video content Writing captions that dont sound robotic Managing client approvals and turning around changes quickly Working with photographers and videographers on shoots Helping shape brand identity across multiple venues Collaborating with the team every Monday at 9:30am (non-negotiable) Youll own projects. Not wait to be told. Youre Probably Someone Who Has 2+ years in social media, design or creative marketing Is fast in Canva and Adobe (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) Understands hospitality (or wants to live in it) Knows that good design is clean, simple and intentional Can handle feedback without taking it personally Actually meets deadlines Doesnt panic when things change last minute (because they will) If you need constant direction, this wont suit you. If you like autonomy and building something real, youll love it. Bonus Points If You Understand Meta Ads and performance creative Can shoot solid iPhone content when needed Have taste (this is underrated) Think commercially, not just aesthetically Want to grow into a bigger creative leadership role over time The Culture Were relaxed but serious about output. We dont micromanage. We dont tolerate laziness. We move quickly. We back good ideas. We care about our clients winning. Youll work directly with the founder. Youll have space to grow. And youll be part of building something thats getting bigger every year. Why Botanist Because hospitality deserves better marketing. Because we dont do cookie-cutter. Because the work actually goes live. Because youll see your ideas in venues packed with people. And because were just getting started. If this feels like you, send through your CV via pour website , your portfolio (this matters more than your CV) and a short note on why youd fit here. No long cover letters. Just show us what you can do. Botanist Creative Canberra
