Jackie Rey’s Ohana Grill is looking for a creative, organized, and proactive Social Media & Content Coordinator to help grow our presence across Instagram and Facebook.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands that great restaurant social media is about more than just posting pretty pictures. We’re looking for someone who can capture the food, people, atmosphere, and personality of Jackie Rey’s, turn those moments into engaging content, and use performance insights to help us continually improve.

The ideal candidate is both creative and strategic — someone who can come into the restaurant, see an opportunity for content, capture it, edit it, post it, and eventually say, “Here’s what’s working, here’s what isn’t, and here’s what I think we should try next.”

This is a paid opportunity, with flexibility depending on experience and availability. We are open to students, recent graduates, or experienced content/social media professionals.

What You’ll Do

Social Media Management

Help manage Jackie Rey’s Instagram and Facebook presence
Develop and maintain a consistent social media content calendar
Schedule and publish posts, Reels, and Stories
Write engaging captions that reflect the Jackie Rey’s brand and voice
Stay current on social media trends, formats, and platform best practices
Help ensure our social presence stays active, timely, and relevant

Content Creation

Regularly capture photo and video content in the restaurant
Photograph food, cocktails, specials, events, staff, guests, and the overall restaurant experience
Capture short-form video that can be edited into engaging Reels and other social content
Identify spontaneous moments and opportunities for content while working in the restaurant
Edit photos and videos for social media
Help develop creative concepts, recurring content series, and new ways to showcase Jackie Rey’s

Strategy & Reporting

Monitor social media performance and engagement
Create regular social media performance reports highlighting key metrics, trends, and insights
Identify what types of content are performing well — and what isn't
Recommend new content ideas, strategies, and opportunities based on performance and industry trends
Help develop and refine Jackie Rey’s social media strategy over time
Research competitors, local trends, and hospitality/food content to identify opportunities
Bring new ideas to the table rather than simply waiting for direction

Collaboration & Restaurant Experience

Work closely with the Jackie Rey’s team to understand upcoming specials, events, promotions, and restaurant happenings
Coordinate with management on content priorities and upcoming marketing needs
Be comfortable working in the restaurant environment and interacting with the team
Communicate clearly and consistently about schedules, content needs, deadlines, and ideas
Work independently and take ownership of assigned responsibilities

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is:

Creative and has a strong eye for photography, video, and visual storytelling
Proactive and comfortable taking initiative
Reliable and timely — if you say you'll be there, you show up
Communicative and comfortable working directly with a small business team
Interested in social media, marketing, hospitality, food, photography, or content creation
Comfortable learning new tools and platforms
Able to work independently and manage deadlines
Curious about why content performs, not just how it looks
Willing to spend consistent time on-site at the restaurant capturing content

Experience with any of the following is a plus:

Instagram and Facebook
Meta Business Suite
Canva
CapCut
Adobe Creative Suite
Social media scheduling platforms
Photography and photo editing
Short-form video editing
Social media analytics and reporting

You do not need to have experience with every tool listed above. We are much more interested in someone who is creative, dependable, willing to learn, and excited to take ownership of the role.

Who Should Apply?

This opportunity may be a great fit for:

A student studying marketing, communications, business, hospitality, media, or a related field
A recent graduate looking to build their marketing/content portfolio
A freelance content creator or social media professional looking for a part-time opportunity

A creative person who has been managing social media or creating content independently and wants to gain professional experience
