We're looking for a Junior Graphic Designer & Marketing Assistant to join a growing photography-focused startup. This is a junior, hands-on role ideal for someone early in their career who enjoys wearing multiple hats and wants to grow alongside a creative business.

Your primary focus will be graphic design, supporting visual content across marketing, social media, and client-facing materials. In addition, you'll assist with influencer outreach, light administrative tasks, and occasional support with sales or partnership-related activities. This role is perfect for a highly organized, proactive individual with a startup mindset who enjoys creative work, learning new skills, and contributing wherever needed.

This is a fun, fast-paced environment centered around photography, creativity, and building a brand - so curiosity, energy, and flexibility are key.

• Support visual content needs for photography-related projects and promotions
• Assist with influencer outreach, including researching creators, sending outreach messages, and tracking responses

• Clear written communication skills and confidence reaching out to influencers or partners
• Prior remote work experience is required, with fluency in remote collaboration tools such as Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Asana, or similar; candidates must have experience working with US- or UK-based companies - applications without this experience will not be considered

Preferred Qualifications

• Interest or background in photography, creative industries, or social media
• Exposure to influencer marketing, outreach, or basic sales support
• Familiarity with social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, etc.)
• Startup or small business experience
• Willingness to learn new tools, platforms, and processes
