Freelance Social Content Specialist

Freelance Social Content Specialist

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Reports to: Chief Brand Officer

Type: Freelance / Contractor, Part-Time (with potential to transition to Full-Time, In-House)

About Us

Olive Ateliers is a fast-growing, founder-led lifestyle brand entering a pivotal next chapter. What began as a business rooted in sourcing and retailing vintage objects from around the world is now evolving into a design-led home furnishings company, with rapidly expanding proprietary collections produced through a trusted network of global partners. As we grow from a cult-favorite retail concept into a nationally recognized luxury consumer brand, we’re building a creative and marketing engine that reflects our deep commitment to storytelling, community, and cultural relevance.

The Opportunity

At Olive Ateliers, social is the front door. We’re not chasing trends—we’re creating cultural moments and storytelling with staying power.

We’re looking for a freelance Social Content Specialist to join us on a part-time basis, with the opportunity to transition into a full-time, in-house role if it feels like the right fit for both sides. This freelance-to-hire approach gives us the chance to collaborate closely, ensure alignment, and build toward a long-term partnership.

You’ll be the architect of Olive’s digital presence: producing scroll-stopping, social-native storytelling that expands our reach, deepens engagement, and cements our place in the cultural conversation. This role is ideal for a visionary creator who knows what makes a Reel go viral, how to reimagine TikTok trends through an aspirational lens, and why Pinterest is as much a search engine as it is a moodboard. At your core, you’re a creator—but one who pairs instinct with strategy, and artistry with analytics.

What You’ll Do

Content Creation (Core Focus)

• Concept, produce, film, and edit social-native content (Reels, TikToks, Stories, Pins) that feels aspirational, authentic, and built to perform.
• Bring Olive’s brand world to life through inventive storytelling—behind-the-scenes sourcing, campaign moments, lifestyle-driven narratives.
• Ensure all content embodies Olive’s tone, look, and feel while pushing creative boundaries.

Organic & Social Strategy (Through a Creative Lens)

• Partner with the Brand & Partnerships Lead and Chief Brand Officer to shape a strategy that balances evergreen storytelling with high-impact campaign moments.
• Own Olive’s organic presence across Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest.
• Build and manage content calendars, weaving together day-to-day storytelling, cultural moments, and launches.
• Spot and adapt platform trends, translating them into content opportunities that feel distinctively Olive.

Community Engagement (Storytelling in Dialogue)

• Lead Olive’s daily dialogue with its community, ensuring every interaction deepens connection and brings the brand voice to life.
• Partner with Customer Experience on inquiries or concerns, while focusing your energy on cultural engagement and storytelling.

Performance & Insights

• Track content performance with a data-driven lens.
• Report learnings to leadership, ensuring every piece of content feels iconic and delivers measurable impact.
• Balance artistry with analytics—every creative decision backed by instinct and insight.

What We’re Looking For

• 4–6 years of social media experience in lifestyle, interiors, fashion, or beauty (brand or agency).
• Proven track record of creating high-performing social campaigns and viral content.
• Strong creative instincts with technical skills in content creation and editing.
• Deep knowledge of IG, TikTok, and Pinterest best practices.
• Highly organized, agile, and responsive to a fast-moving environment.
• Excellent written and visual communication skills.
• Genuine interest in home furnishings, interiors, and Olive’s vision.
• Must submit proof of past work (campaigns, content examples).

What We’re Offering

• Type: 1099 Contractor, project-based (16–24 hours/week average, flexible based on workflow)
• Hourly contractor rate: $35–$75 , depending on experience.
• Opportunity to transition into a full-time, in-house role with salary + benefits if the fit is mutual.

Why Olive?

We’re building something special—a brand with heart, heritage, and a point of view. As our Social Content Specialist, you’ll set the pace for how Olive shows up in culture every day. You’ll join a nimble team of aesthetes and innovators, creating content that inspires, delights, and disrupts a category long overdue for change. Here, the standard isn’t good—it’s iconic.
