Project Description
We are looking for an experienced Content & Social Media Manager to support content strategy, brand storytelling, social media management, and community engagement for a premium lifestyle and ecommerce brand focused on homeware, fashion, fragrance, gifting, and lifestyle products.

This is a remote hourly freelance project for an independent contractor. The project is suitable for a long-term collaboration, with workload and weekly hours agreed through Freelancer based on content volume, campaign priorities, and business needs.

Some overlap with UK business hours is preferred for content reviews, campaign coordination, and team communication, but this is a remote freelance engagement and not an on-site employment role.

The business operates through ecommerce and retail channels, serving customers who value premium quality, comfort, simplicity, and elevated lifestyle experiences. Content, social media, and digital storytelling play an important role in customer engagement, ecommerce growth, seasonal campaigns, and brand visibility across multiple markets.

Project Overview
The selected freelancer will help plan, create, manage, and optimize social media and digital content across multiple platforms.

The main goal is to strengthen brand storytelling, improve engagement, increase audience growth, support ecommerce visibility, and maintain a consistent premium brand identity across social channels.
