The Role
Create, self-shoot, and edit high-volume short-form content for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Produce UGC-style and direct-response advertisements, repurpose live commerce, event, podcast, and keynote footage, and deliver polished videos with captions, sound, color correction, and motion graphics. Maintain content calendars, follow platform trends, and contribute creative ideas while working independently in a fast-paced environment.

- Repurpose long-form footage (keynotes, lives, podcasts) into a steady stream of short-form clips
- Keep a consistent posting cadence against a content calendar
- Stay ahead of platform formats and trends and bring ideas to the table, not just execute briefs
