About UKO

UKO is one of Australia's leading co-living brands, offering beautifully designed, community-driven spaces for modern urban living. With properties across Sydney and Melbourne — including UKO Melbourne Central and Royal Park — we create homes where residents truly connect. Our Sydney-based team manages brand, content, and community across all locations, bringing UKO's story to life through thoughtful, high-quality digital content.

About the Role

This is a marketing-first casual position, paid at $33 per hour. Your primary focus will be creating and managing content that showcases UKO's spaces, community, and lifestyle across digital platforms. You will work closely with our Sydney team to plan and produce content — including on-location shoots at our Melbourne properties — capturing everything from beautifully styled rooms and common areas to real resident moments and drone footage that highlights the unique positioning of each UKO location.

If you are creative, organised, and passionate about social media and storytelling, this is a hands-on opportunity to build a real portfolio with a growing brand.

What You'll Do

Develop and manage monthly digital marketing and content plans across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube

Create, edit, and publish engaging short-form video and photo content using CapCut and Adobe Creative Suite

Design on-brand visual assets and graphics using Canva and Adobe programs

Coordinate and assist in planning content shoots — including scheduling resident interviews, organising refreshments, and preparing shoot agendas

Manage and grow UKO's social media channels, including posting, community engagement, and scheduling

Support on-location shoots across UKO properties, capturing rooms, common areas, resident lifestyle moments, outdoor spaces, and drone footage

Assist in promoting UKO's locations and positioning — including showcasing proximity to key landmarks and lifestyle destinations

Analyse content performance and present ideas to improve reach, engagement, and brand awareness

Collaborate with the wider team to ensure consistency in tone, look, and feel across all platforms

A genuine passion for digital marketing, content creation, and social media

Proficiency with Canva, CapCut, and Adobe programs (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, or Lightroom)

Strong organisational skills — you can build a structured content plan and see it through

Experience coordinating shoots or events, even in a personal or academic capacity

Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, positive attitude

The ability to work independently and manage your time across a remote/hybrid setup

Real marketing experience with end-to-end ownership of content — from planning to publishing

A strong portfolio of published content across a nationally recognised co-living brand

On-location shoot experience across multiple properties in Sydney and Melbourne

Mentorship and day-to-day collaboration with UKO's marketing team
