We're Hiring: Creative Coordinator, Social Media

Remote or Hybrid | Birmingham, AL Preferred | Independent Contractor | 20–30 Hours/Week

‍ ‍ABOUT THE ROLE Bright & Gray Creative is a full-service creative studio founded by Jason and Jessica Morales, who bring a combined 35 years of industry experience to the work. We partner with businesses and nonprofits of all sizes. We’re looking for a socially fluent, strategically minded Creative Coordinator to take ownership of client social accounts. Someone who can think ahead, execute consistently, and keep things moving independently, but also loves to work collaboratively with a team. This role is part creative, part project management, part strategist, part analytical. If that kind of variety sounds exciting rather than overwhelming, you’re in the right place. This is not a post-and-ghost role. You’ll own the social presence of multiple clients, build real relationships with them, and be the person who keeps content moving from calendar to published. Schedule: Either 5 hours/day, 5 days a week or 3 full 8-hour days. We need focused, consistent blocks, not scattered availability. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING For ongoing clients, you’ll be the lead point of contact on all things social. That means regular check-ins to understand what’s happening in their business (upcoming events, promotions, content priorities) and turning that into a monthly content calendar. You’ll collaborate closely with our production team to make sure content is created ahead of schedule, and you’ll be hands-on creating content yourself. Monthly client touch bases and quarterly analytics pulls are part of the rhythm. You’ll also handle DM responses, comment engagement, and active community management to keep accounts growing. For new clients, you’ll be part of the onboarding process from day one, building out their marketing assessment, establishing goals and KPIs, and getting their social strategy set up before transitioning into the ongoing workflow above. Part of this role also involves business development. You’ll be expected to help bring in new clients through relationships, outreach, or simply knowing when to mention what BGC offers. When that work results in a signed contract, you’ll earn commission on it. Beyond client work, you’ll dedicate a portion of your time to staying sharp. That means tracking algorithm updates, following trending audio, completing platform courses, and keeping tabs on what’s changing across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok. When something is relevant to a client’s business, you’ll know it and bring it to the table, including flagging upsell opportunities when they genuinely make sense. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR 1-2 years of hands-on social media experience, ideally managing accounts for clients (agency or studio experience is a plus but not required). You should be comfortable in Canva/Adobe Express, scheduling platforms, and basic short-form video editing in CapCut/Edits or similar. You need to be fluent across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok, not just familiar. Strong written communication is a must. You’ll be writing captions, responding to comments, and talking directly with clients, so your voice needs to be adaptable and polished. Bonus points if you have website experience or a working understanding of SEO/GEO. Not a dealbreaker, but it opens doors for growth here. THE DETAILS‍ ‍

This starts as an independent contractor engagement with the potential to grow into a staff position as BGC scales. Compensation is shared upon inquiry. BGC offers a commission on any work you bring in, for as long as both you and the client are active with us. Wedding referrals are handled separately with a bonus structure. This is a real earning opportunity on top of your hourly rate, not a token gesture.

WHY BGC We’re a small but growing studio with real clients, real creative work, and a team that genuinely cares about what they build. You’ll have ownership, autonomy, and direct impact on the brands we serve.
