About the Role
We're looking for a Social Media & Influencer Marketing Specialist to help us grow our presence on Instagram and TikTok — with a strong focus on TikTok Shop and influencer/creator marketing. You'll be the driving force behind building relationships with content creators, developing UGC that sells, and turning Lush Lobster into a brand people discover and shop through social.
This is a hands-on role for someone who lives and breathes TikTok trends, understands what makes content convert on TikTok Shop, and knows how to build and manage creator partnerships from outreach to content delivery.
What You'll Do
Own and grow Lush Lobster's presence on TikTok and Instagram, with TikTok Shop as a primary focus
Identify, reach out to, and build relationships with content creators and influencers for paid and gifted collaborations

Track performance of creator campaigns and TikTok Shop content, and report on what's working
Stay on top of TikTok/Instagram trends, sounds, and formats, and adapt our content strategy accordingly
Collaborate with the wider marketing team on campaigns, promotions, and product launches
What We're Looking For
Proven experience managing brand accounts or campaigns on Instagram and TikTok
Hands-on experience with TikTok Shop specifically (creator/affiliate program, live shopping, product showcases, etc.)
Experience with influencer marketing — sourcing, pitching, and managing relationships with creators of varying sizes
Strong understanding of UGC content — what performs well, how to brief creators, and how to build content guidelines
A sharp eye for trends and an instinct for what makes content stop the scroll
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for creator outreach and negotiation
Comfortable working independently in a remote, fast-paced environment
Bonus: experience in e-commerce, gifting, or lifestyle/DTC brands
