Light Up Your Holidays is seeking a highly creative, technologically advanced social media marketing expert to help shape and tell the story of Chicago’s leading holiday decorating company.
We are a woman-owned business with more than 25 years in the industry, hundreds of five-star reviews, long-standing client relationships, and a reputation for elegant design, precise professional installation, and exceptional service. We also use our work to give back—providing complimentary holiday décor to group homes, nonprofits, veterans, older adults, and families facing difficult circumstances.
; the person must understand how to market a luxury service specifically to the Chicago and North Shore market.
This is a virtual role yet you will work side by side with the owner to:
- Develop social media and content strategies across all platforms
- Create sophisticated, engaging content using AI and our AI publishing tools
- Build and manage the content calendar in Monday.com
- Develop creative campaigns, concepts, flyers, emails, and social content
- Coordinate with designers so every visual and message feels cohesive
- Help define, elevate, and protect the brand voice
- Increase engagement, followers, visibility, and qualified design-call bookings
- Tell the full story of our company—from beautiful design and professional installation to our woman-owned history and community giving
We are looking for someone who has worked with luxury service, design, hospitality, lifestyle, or high-end consumer brands and brings brand strategy, social media, AI, and organizational skills on steroids.
The right person is highly creative but also exceptionally organized, sophisticated, resourceful, and full of common sense. You should love experimenting with technology, developing show-stopping concepts, and turning a rich company story into content people actually want to watch and share. Experience with Monday.com and GHL is a strong plus, along with the ability to create polished graphics in Canva and produce simple, engaging short-form videos.
This position begins at approximately 20 hours per week, then full-time September - December for the holiday season.
The Person We’re Looking For
This role is ideal for someone who is grounded, upbeat, highly organized, technologically curious, visually sophisticated, and excited to build something—not someone who simply waits for a list of posts to complete.
Qualifications include:
- Exceptional organization, follow-through, and attention to detail
- Experience using Monday.com and social media scheduling, publishing, or content-management platforms
- Strong working knowledge of AI tools for content development, research, organization, and creative production
- Previous experience supporting a luxury service, design, hospitality, lifestyle, or high-end consumer brand
- The ability to work independently while also collaborating closely with the owner, designers, and other team members
- Strong visual judgment and an understanding of what feels elegant, polished, current, and appropriate for an affluent Chicago audience
- High integrity, common sense, emotional intelligence, and clear communication
- A proactive mindset—the ability to bring ideas, identify missing pieces, and help pull the entire marketing process together
You will work side by side with a highly involved founder who has a strong creative vision, moves quickly, and cares deeply about the integrity of the brand. The right person will be comfortable receiving direct feedback, contributing original ideas, respectfully sharing a different perspective, and turning ambitious concepts into an organized, cohesive marketing plan.
We are looking for someone who is creative without being chaotic.
Compensation
This position begins at $20 per hour with a performance-based bonus structure designed to reward measurable results.
Bonuses may be tied to:
- Consistent, on-time content production and campaign execution
- Growth in meaningful engagement and qualified followers
- Increased direct messages, inquiries, and booked design calls
- Successful creative campaigns that generate measurable business activity
- Strong organization, collaboration, and ownership of the marketing calendar
Performance will be reviewed regularly, with the opportunity for increased hours, higher base compensation, and substantial bonuses as the role and results grow.
We are looking for someone who is motivated by success and excited to see their ideas translate into real engagement, stronger brand recognition, and new business.
