About the Client
Teamficient has a client that manufactures high-performance, ecocompatible mineral sunscreens, skincare, and water-sports gear designed to protect people without harming marine ecosystems or coral reefs.

Key Responsibilities
1. Social Media Management & Content Creation

Plan, schedule, and execute a consistent weekly social media content calendar aligning with brand campaigns, product launches, and ocean conservation awareness days.

Act as the primary, friendly point of contact across social platforms—responding promptly to comments, direct messages, tags, and reviews.

Proactively join relevant ocean conservation, diving, and eco-lifestyle conversations across social platforms to boost brand visibility.
-
Escalate complex customer service issues to internal support/e-commerce teams to ensure seamless problem resolution.
3. Advocacy & Growth

Assist in managing brand giveaways, ambassador challenges, and trade show/event coverage (e.g., dive expos, eco-festivals).
