TUNE and Trade & Union, cross-entity | Remote, South Africa based | Works with the studio lead and Strategy | Independent contractor, part-time or full-time

This role owns the studio's and clients' social presence and makes the content that fills it. You are a strategist and maker in one. You decide what belongs in public, then you go and create it, in a voice that sounds like the brand and stands out in a crowded feed.

Owning social strategy and calendars across the studio's and clients' channels.
Creating content: shooting, editing, writing, and designing short-form video, stills, and copy.
Running community management and engagement in a consistent, on-brand voice.
Reading the numbers and feeding what works back into the plan.
Working with design, illustration, and strategy so social is part of the story, not an afterthought.

How we work

We brief clearly, agree on the deliverables and the deadline, then trust you to run your own process in your own way. Respect runs both ways. We do not treat contractors as disposable, and we will not expect you to absorb problems that are not yours.

The engagement

Real autonomy over how and when you work, within agreed deliverables and deadlines.
Work that lands at a high standard, for founders and operators worth doing it for.
A studio that values your time and your craft, and works the way it says it does.
