  • The Apollo Tattoo Studio
  • Santa Monica, CA

Job Description

This role isn’t for everyone.

If you’re looking for remote comfort, predictable hours, or “set-it-and-forget-it” feeds, this won’t fit.

If you live for 5 a.m. shoot calls, midnight edits, and the adrenaline rush of watching numbers spike because of something you created—keep reading.

About The Apollo Tattoo Studio
  • Launched June 2024 after four years of R&D
  • $1 MM+ revenue in year one with a hand-picked crew of eight
  • Luxury body-art destination: elite tattooists, master piercers, and fine-jewelry curation
  • Vision: a global brand redefining the tattoo & piercing experience

We’re lean, hungry, and moving fast. Scaling our digital voice is the next frontier—and that starts with you.

What You’ll Own

90-Day Probation $20/hr, on-site

Your 90-Day Proving Ground

Probation is your shot to back up every claim on your résumé. It’s a sprint to show that you can work hard, set sharp goals, and hit them. Nail it, and you prove you’re a worthy investment for Apollo’s long‑term vision. Many will apply—only one will earn the badge.

After 90 Days $68,000 salaried + performance path to build and lead a full social team + Bonuses and performance incentives.

Daily Reality

  • Plan, shoot, and edit short-form & long-form content across IG, TikTok, YouTube & Facebook—for the studio and each artist’s account.
  • Build a master production calendar, align releases with shop schedules, launches, and events.
  • Track analytics, spot trends, pivot fast.
  • Interview artists & clients, keep them relaxed on camera, and translate studio culture into scroll-stopping visuals.
  • Prototype systems we can scale: asset libraries, naming conventions, posting SOPs—everything from scratch.

Challenges

  • Multiple voices, one brand: every post must feel cohesive yet authentic to each artist.
  • Long hours: content happens when the art happens—nights, weekends, sudden inspiration strikes.
  • No safety net: you’ll be the founding social hire; processes, wins, and mistakes are yours to own.

What Makes You a Fit
  • 2+ years running multi-platform social for a creative brand or agency (portfolio links required).
  • Solid camera skills, lighting sense, and audio know-how; you can shoot on a mirrorless rig at noon and an iPhone at midnight—and both look great.
  • Fluent in Adobe Premiere/Final Cut and the latest mobile editing apps.
  • Data-driven, but driven, period—you chase engagement and perfection.
  • Organized enough to build Gantt charts, creative enough to break them when the moment’s right.
  • Thick-skinned, low-ego, high-output.

Why Apollo
  • Ownership from Day 1. Shape our voice before millions ever hear it.
  • Executive runway. Prove yourself and build the department you want to lead.
  • Creative playground. Work with world-class artists in a visually explosive environment.
  • Industry momentum. We’re already profitable and expanding—your work will accelerate that trajectory.
Ready to jump in?

Send a brief intro, resume, and links to:

  1. A reel (≤ 60 seconds) you shot & edited.
  2. A campaign you planned end-to-end with metrics.
  3. One post you’re proud of and why it worked.

  • Serious, on-site candidates only. Let’s build something unforgettable.
