Social Media Content Creator

We’re hiring: Social Media Content Creator – Havas Red Melbourne

Ready to turn trends into scroll-stopping content?

Havas Red Melbourne is on the lookout for a Social Media Content Creator to join our passionate, collaborative team of storytellers, creatives and communicators. You’ll create culturally relevant, high-performing content that doesn’t just fill a feed, but cuts through it—working on a high-profile client with exciting creative opportunities.

About Us

At Havas Red, we connect the dots between culture, creativity and earned storytelling. With offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and deep expertise spanning PR, social, content, digital and experiential, we deliver big ideas with local soul and global reach.

We’re part of Havas Village, one of the world’s most integrated agency groups—giving you the scale to think big, with the support to make it happen.

What You’ll Do

• Ideate and pitch bold, culturally relevant content concepts tailored for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook
• Conceptualise, shoot and edit social-first video and static content—fast-moving, high-impact and always on-brand
• Own the content creation process end-to-end: from pre-production planning, scripting and storyboarding, through to shooting, editing and optimising for channel-specific formats
• Confidently shoot stills and video using camera equipment in a range of real-world settings—from events and activations to client locations and on-the-go environments
• Travel around Australia to capture content at events, launches, brand experiences and community activations—meeting people from all walks of life
• Lead production best practices—file management, workflow, quality control and efficient delivery across multiple projects
• Adapt content for different brand voices, aesthetics and audiences while balancing creativity with commercial outcomes
• Stay across emerging trends, platform updates, pop culture movements, creator content and digital behaviours—bringing new ideas to the table before they hit the mainstream
• Develop content that aligns with broader PR, social and digital strategies—working closely with internal teams to ensure creative output supports campaign objectives and social KPIs
• Work on multiple projects at once, set priorities, work independently, problem solve, improvise, and function as part of a team
• Develop strong relationships with the wider integrated teams – events, digital and account management
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2+ years’ experience creating social-first content for brands, agencies or publishers
• A standout portfolio showcasing your creative work across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and other platforms
• A sharp eye for trends, formats and cultural movements—and the instinct to turn them into impactful brand content
• Exceptional visual design skills needed to create engaging content
• A strong understanding of video codecs and log format workflows.
• Proficiency in editing tools such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, Davinci Resolve, Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Figma and Canva
• Strong understanding of Social Media platform best practices, content formats, and technical specs across social media channels
• Excellent time management and organisational skills—the ability to juggle multiple projects, prioritise tasks, and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality
• Bonus points for motion graphics and/or basic graphic design skills
• Excellent collaboration skills to be part of and support a tight knit team.
  
  

What You’ll Get

• Creative freedom to produce work you’re genuinely proud of
• Access to ongoing training and development via Havas University
• A tight-knit, collaborative Melbourne team backed by a global network
• A team culture that balances hustle with humour—and celebrates the wins together
• A workplace that champions diversity, individuality, and meaningful inclusion
  
  

At Havas, we are committed to building a future that is inclusive to all, where you can bring your whole self to work and feel valued, respected, and supported to succeed. We encourage people from diverse backgrounds, identities, beliefs, age, and abilities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, to apply for this or any role with us.
