Overview
We are seeking a creative and organized Social Media Manager and Short-Form Video Editor to help manage and grow a digital presence across multiple platforms.
This role combines hands-on social media management with video editing and content strategy. You’ll work with an existing library of raw content and transform it into engaging short-form videos. The ideal candidate understands current internet culture, short-form content trends, and audience behavior. You should be equally comfortable editing a high-retention video, reviewing analytics, building a content calendar, and identifying what content should be created next.
You will take ownership of the social media operation and bring structure, creative direction, and measurable improvement to the content strategy. This is not a posting-only role—you’ll be expected to think strategically and proactively.
