About the Role
YouTrip Australia is looking for a hands-on Social Media Executive to help grow our presence across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and travel-focused online communities.
This is a highly executional role with content creation at its core, but broader exposure across social publishing, community interaction, trend tracking, and performance insights.

Design & Creative Support

Trends, Insights & Experimentation

- Test new formats, hooks, and angles and share learnings with the marketing team
- Monitor basic performance metrics (views, engagement, saves) to inform iteration
Community & UGC Support
- Support sourcing and coordination of authentic UGC from our users and community
- Assist with creator briefs and content guidelines where needed
