  • You have a clear passion for digital and social media
  • You have a keen eye for what’s trending
  • You have an interest in current affairs, entertainment and celebrity
  • You’re a sound, team player with a can-do attitude

  • Experience with WordPress and Canva
  • Strong presentation skills
  • A knowledge of both Her brands
