Our office hours are weekdays 10am–6pm AEST, during which hours we collaborate on Discord.

The role will consist of two or more full days video editing and scheduling of posts, with an hour or two on other days to check in for replies/engagement. That said, we’re flexible and open to other work arrangements.
