Social Media Specialist & Designer
Botanist Creative – Canberra
We don't do boring.
Botanist Creative is a hospitality-focused marketing agency working with some of the best venues in Canberra (and beyond). We build brands that feel alive. We shoot content that actually moves people. We run ads that turn into bookings.
Now we're looking for someone who can sit right in the middle of strategy and design — someone who can think, create and execute. Not just post. Build.
The Role
You'll be our Social Media Specialist & Designer.
That means you're equally comfortable planning a month of content that makes sense commercially, designing a killer A1 poster for a pub event, turning a food shoot into scroll-stopping content, building ad creative that converts, and actually understanding why something works.
You'll work across restaurants, pubs, bars, precincts and hospitality groups. No two weeks look the same.
What You'll Be Doing
Creating monthly and fortnightly content plans
Designing graphics, menus, posters, table talkers and digital ads
Editing reels and short-form video content
Writing captions that don't sound robotic
Managing client approvals and turning around changes quickly
Working with photographers and videographers on shoots
Helping shape brand identity across multiple venues
Collaborating with the team every Monday at 9:30am (non-negotiable)
You'll own projects. Not wait to be told.
You're Probably Someone Who
Has 2+ years in social media, design or creative marketing
Is fast in Canva and Adobe (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop)
Understands hospitality (or wants to live in it)
Knows that good design is clean, simple and intentional
Can handle feedback without taking it personally
Actually meets deadlines
Doesn't panic when things change last minute (because they will)
If you need constant direction, this won't suit you. If you like autonomy and building something real, you'll love it.
Bonus Points If You
Understand Meta Ads and performance creative
Can shoot solid iPhone content when needed
Have taste (this is underrated)
Think commercially, not just aesthetically
Want to grow into a bigger creative leadership role over time
The Culture
We're relaxed but serious about output.
We don't micromanage.
We don't tolerate laziness.
We move quickly.
We back good ideas.
We care about our clients winning.
You'll work directly with the founder. You'll have space to grow. And you'll be part of building something that's getting bigger every year.
Why Botanist
Because hospitality deserves better marketing.
Because we don't do cookie-cutter.
Because the work actually goes live.
Because you'll see your ideas in venues packed with people.
And because we're just getting started.
If this feels like you, send through your CV, your portfolio (this matters more than your CV) and a short note on why you'd fit here. No long cover letters. Just show us what you can do.
