We are looking for a motivated, creative, and results-driven Social Media & Sales Specialist to drive traffic and sales to our growing home improvement liquidation outlet. You will be the face and voice of our store online by managing Facebook Marketplace ads, creating engaging daily content (photos, videos, and stories), and actively converting online interest into in-store sales.

This is a hands-on role perfect for someone who loves social media, video content, home improvement/DIY products, and closing deals. You will help turn our inventory of appliances, furniture, flooring, tools, and other home goods into fast-moving sales while building an excited local customer base.

  • Post daily content on Facebook, Instagram, and Marketplace showcasing new arrivals, daily happenings, product highlights, customer transformations, and store atmosphere.
  • Create short videos (Reels, Stories, TikTok-style) of unboxings, product demos, before/afters, customer pickups, and “deal of the day” features.
  • Manage and optimize Facebook Marketplace ads – listing items with compelling photos, descriptions, and pricing to maximize views and inquiries.

  • Help with light inventory tasks, merchandising, and photo shoots for listings.
  • Meet or exceed weekly/monthly traffic and sales targets set with the owner.

What We’re Looking For

  • Skills:

    • Creative eye for photography and video (iPhone video editing skills are sufficient – CapCut, Reels, etc.).
    • Excellent written communication for ad copy and customer messages.
    • Self-motivated and able to work independently.
  • Personality: Outgoing, energetic, organized, and customer-obsessed. You should genuinely enjoy home improvement products and sharing great deals.
  • Requirements: Reliable transportation, smartphone with good camera, ability to lift 50+ lbs occasionally, and availability to work some weekends.

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive base pay + commission on sales (uncapped earning potential).
  • Opportunity to have real creative freedom and see direct impact on store growth.
  • Work in a fun, fast-paced environment with ever-changing inventory.
  • Be part of a small team where your ideas matter.

Compensation: $ [Base + commission ](discuss in interview based on experience)
