About Elavi
Elavi is a high-growth, venture-backed food brand on a mission to bring permissible indulgence to the masses. Our date-sweetened protein brownies and dessert cashew butters are sold in 3,000+ retailers nationally, including Whole Foods, Costco, Sprouts, H-E-B, Wegmans, and Amazon.
On social, Elavi lives somewhere between your favorite wellness creator and the dessert aisle. We care about what everyone is talking about this week, and we want our brownies right in the middle of that conversation.
We move fast. We hold each other accountable. And we love sweet snacks.
The Role
Elavi is hiring a Social Media Assistant to help create and run content across the brand's Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
This is a hands-on role for someone who is equal parts content creator, editor, and brand storyteller. You'll work directly with Elavi's Founder and CEO to capture the brand in real time and turn ideas, moments, and products into content people stop scrolling for. One day you might shoot a week of product content in a single morning. The next you could be at an LA event with the founder, capturing the moments worth sharing and turning them around the same day.
Some of the content features the founder. All of it is built for Elavi.
Most of the job is content. The rest is hands-on brand work that often turns into great content too, from packing custom PR boxes to helping Elavi show up beautifully at LA events.
This role starts part-time, with a real opportunity to grow into a full-time position as the content engine and your impact grow. The work you make here comes with real creative ownership from day one.
What You'll Own
Ideas and the calendar. Help shape the creative direction and day-to-day content plan for Elavi's channels. Own the content calendar and publishing across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Develop original concepts, recurring series, hooks, and formats that are unique, differentiated, and unmistakably on brand.
Filming. Shoot social-first content on iPhone or camera, including Reels, TikToks, Shorts, product content, and behind the scenes. Film the founder when she's featured, and attend LA events, shoots, and brand moments to capture what's worth sharing.
Editing and posting. Independently edit short-form video with strong hooks, tight pacing, on-screen text, and the right sound. Design Canva carousels that look on brand, read easily on a phone, and are worth saving. Write captions that are catchy, witty, and sound like a real person. Move content from idea through capture, edit, approval, and publishing.
Trends and performance. Track trends, sounds, and formats every day, and know which ones fit Elavi and which ones to skip. Watch what performs and use those insights to keep sharpening the creative, the hooks, and the formats.
Events and PR support. Help pack custom PR boxes, coordinate logistics for LA-based events, and stop by events on the founder's behalf to make sure product and displays look on brand. It's a smaller share of the role, and it often produces some of the best content.
What Success Looks Like
By 30 days, you have a consistent filming and posting rhythm running across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and you can write captions and edit in Elavi's voice without heavy revision.
By 90 days, Elavi's channels are growing on the strength of formats and series you created. The founder trusts you to run a shoot or cover an event on your own, and you're bringing more ideas than there's time to make.
Who You Are
You are a digital native, or as your friends would put it, chronically online. You catch trends before they peak, you know which formats are already tired, and your feed is full of the wellness, fitness, and food creators you'd love to see Elavi stand next to.
Underneath the fluency is real craft. You have personally shot, edited, and posted content that performed, and you know why it worked. Your captions make people laugh, your carousels look custom-designed, and you hold the quality even when the turnaround is same-day.
You're genuinely excited about the health and wellness space, and you're hungry. You want this role to grow, you're ready to earn it, and you follow through without being asked.
You are also trustworthy and discreet. Filming behind the scenes at a fast-growing brand means seeing things that aren't public yet, and you have great judgment about what stays off camera.
Qualifications
- 2+ years creating social content for a brand, a creator, or yourself (personal accounts and freelance work count)
- A portfolio of short-form video you personally shot and edited
- Strong editing skills in CapCut, InShot, Instagram Edits, or a comparable tool
- Strong Canva skills, with carousel examples to share
- Deep understanding of Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, including how to read their analytics
- Highly organized, hands-on, and comfortable working closely with a founder in a fast-moving environment
- Based in Los Angeles and able to work in person on the Westside, with occasional days at Elavi's office in Torrance, plus must have reliable transportation and availability for some evenings and weekends for events
Nice to Have
- Experience at a food, beverage, fitness, or wellness brand
- Photography or videography
- Experience filming on-camera talent or creators
Compensation and Details
- $25-$30/hour, depending on experience
- About 15-20 hours/week, with a schedule that flexes around shoots and events
- In person on LA's Westside for filming and events, with occasional days at Elavi's office in Torrance; editing can be done remotely
- A real opportunity to grow into a full-time role with more responsibility
- Direct work with the founder and a front-row seat to how a fast-growing CPG brand gets built
