About the role:

I’m a freelance photographer, graphic designer, illustrator, and painter working with local musicians.

  • Send contracts & invoices; set up Pixieset client portals; maintain a lightweight client database (past jobs, budgets, preferences).
  • Payment reminders: friendly nudges for overdue invoices.

Creative & On-Site Help

  • Assist at photoshoots: help with gear, lighting setups, shot lists, and light BTS content.
  • Assist with Social media: set up post promotion, posting, captions, etc (Instagram & TikTok).

Back-End & Admin

  • Simple monthly finance snapshot (income vs. expenses).
  • Template management: keep pitch emails, pricing sheets, proposals tidy and current.
  • Deadline reminders: proactive pings ahead of delivery dates.

YOU ARE
