TikTok Content Creator

Responsibilities

Edit short-form social content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)

• Produce UGC-style and direct-response adverts for paid social, built to convert, not just to look good
• Turn footage from live commerce sessions, studio shoots and events into polished, platform-ready videos.
• Handle the editing process from footage selection and assembly through to sound, colour correction, captions, light motion graphics and final delivery.
• 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

Requirements

• Strong editing skills (Premiere Pro, DaVinci, CapCut or similar; After Effects a plus)
• Self-starter who can use the initiative to edit without hand holding
