About the role
The Narrative Refinery is a boutique social media strategy and content production agency working with a roster of small but design-conscious brands. From July 20 to early August, the agency owner is on-site at a major international sporting event and needs a skilled social-first designer to own content editing for four clients during that window.
This starts as a part-time, project-based contract with a defined budget and scope. For the right person, there's a real opportunity to grow into an ongoing part-time role as the agency owner's go-to editor beyond this initial window.
Before the window begins, you'll have an onboarding call in early July with the agency owner to walk through the brands, briefs, file systems, and exact scope, so you're fully set up before the agency owner travels.
Shot lists and brand materials will be handed over before the project begins. Photographers deliver the raw assets. Your job is to turn that raw footage and photography into polished, on-brand, postable content, both graphics and short-form video, ready to be captioned and scheduled.
If you're a fast, proactive editor who loves social-first work and can match a brand's look without hand-holding, this is for you.
Who you are
What you'll do
The clients you'll be editing for
You'll be editing for four boutique, design-conscious small businesses, each with its own established look, voice, and audience. The work spans beauty, lifestyle, retail, and local services, from polished and premium to warm and community-focused. You'll move fluidly between very different aesthetics, sometimes in the same week, so range and adaptability matter more here than any single signature style.
The scope and how the work flows
This is a focused, time-boxed engagement, not a full month of output. During the window, you'll be editing a defined batch of content across the four clients, a steady but manageable mix of feed posts, Stories, and short-form video for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. The exact volume and priorities will be set together during onboarding so the load is clear and realistic before anything begins.
A good portion of the work can be templatized to keep output efficient and consistent, and you'll receive clear briefs that lay out copy, inspiration, and each brand's look and feel. Your job is to match that brief to the right images and video delivered by the photographers after each shoot.
Why this role is worth your time
This isn't faceless overflow work. You'll be the editing engine behind a tight, well-run agency with clear systems, organized briefs, and clients who care about their content. You'll get clean shot lists, brand documents, and direction up front, not vague asks and mystery deliverables. For a designer who wants steady, interesting social-first work across varied brands, with a real path to an ongoing role, this is a strong foundation.
