Reporting to: Founder & Lead Strategist, Alcove Communications

Location: Remote (within GMT+8 ±3 hours)

Job type: Part-time / Freelance / Contract (25–35 hours a week) with potential to grow into a full-time role

• PHP 39,900–53,200/month
• MYR 2,500–3,500/month

Overview

Alcove is looking for a self-sufficient Marketing Specialist to deliver high-volume creative variables across multiple client accounts. From uploading final copy into pre-built design templates to sourcing stock imagery and generating visuals via AI, this is a hands-on production role. You’ll help bring brand stories to life—pixel by pixel, frame by frame.

The ideal candidate is equal parts methodical and creative, with a strong command of Adobe Creative Cloud, an instinct for adapting across brand identities, and a curiosity about AI’s role in modern marketing. You won’t be client-facing, but you’ll work directly with the founder, Azryl, and eventually run parts of the production pipeline independently.

This role isn’t for someone who needs micromanaging. It’s for someone who knows when to ask for help, isn’t afraid to flag a roadblock, and brings ideas to the table—even if they don’t always land. Work 3 days, 4 days—whatever suits you. As long as your weekly deliverables are met, you attend our weekly sync, and you’re reachable during business hours, your schedule is yours to own.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Transfer final copy into ready-made design templates (social posts, decks, reels, EDMs, etc.)
• Source and curate stock imagery based on client brand guidelines
• Create or generate visuals using AI tools like Midjourney, Firefly, DALL·E (or whatever gets the job done)
• Adapt designs across various brand identities with accuracy and creative flair
• Edit, crop, and repurpose assets for platform-specific formats
• Maintain tidy asset libraries, templates, and production files
• Proactively flag issues, offer better ways of doing things, and experiment with tools to improve output
• Meet with the founder once a week to align on deliverables, share wins, and troubleshoot roadblocks
• Contribute ideas—visual, strategic, or workflow-related—regardless of whether they’re implemented
• Work in a high-trust, low-ego environment where initiative is valued over perfection

What You Bring

• At least 3 to 5 years of experience in a marketing or design-related role
• Proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop
• Working knowledge of Adobe XD, Lightroom, and Premiere Pro
• Bonus: After Effects or motion graphics know-how
• An eye for clean, brand-aligned visual design
• Ability to switch styles and tones between different industries and clients
• Confidence using ChatGPT and Gemini; extra points if you’ve tried more obscure AI tools
• Strong communication and self-management skills
• Comfortable speaking up when something isn’t working—or when you’ve got an idea worth trying
• A portfolio or work samples that show both versatility and execution chops
• Include a sentence about alcoves in your email to be considered—yes, we’re serious.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Client calls or account management
• Punching a timecard
• Waiting for instructions on every little thing

Who You’ll Be Working With

You’ll report directly to the founder of Alcove Communications, a strategic marketing and content agency working with clients across architecture, engineering, IT, insurance, and legal. No meetings with clients—just focused, meaningful creative work in a fast-paced but low-drama environment.

Why This Role Exists

We’re scaling, and that means production has to match strategy. Your job is to help bring ideas to life faster, sharper, and more consistently—without compromising craft.

Contract Notes

This is a contract-based role. You’ll be responsible for your own taxes, local compliance, and any contributions required under your jurisdiction.
