Social Media Manager

JOB TITLE: Social Media Manager + Video Editor (Martial Arts / Fitness Brand) — Part-Time, Remote

ABOUT US
URBN Martial Arts (UMA) is a growing martial arts academy based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. We teach BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, and Kyokushin Karate. We're a community-first gym with a strong local following and ambitions to grow. We're looking for someone who gets the culture, not just the content.

THE ROLE
This is a remote, part-time position (approx. 20 hours/week). We will film and send you raw footage from the gym. You will handle everything from there — editing, content calendar, captions, scheduling, and posting across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.

You are not just an editor. You will own the content calendar and guide us on what to shoot, when to post, and how to grow.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Edit raw footage into Reels, TikToks, and Facebook videos (fast-paced, music-driven, community feel)
- Manage and update the monthly content calendar — planned in advance, not last minute
- Write captions that are direct, human, and authentic to the martial arts world (no corporate language)
- Schedule and publish content across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook
- Manage comments and DMs as the first point of contact
- Brief us weekly on what footage to shoot based on the upcoming calendar
- Track basic performance metrics and flag what's working

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
- Proven experience editing short-form video (Reels/TikToks) — portfolio required
- Strong working knowledge of CapCut and/or Adobe Premiere Rush
- Canva for graphics and story templates
- Experience managing a content calendar (Notion preferred)
- Excellent written English — captions need to sound real, not AI-generated
- Reliable, proactive, and communicative — we need someone who chases us, not the other way around
- Availability to respond within 24 hours during the working week
- Bonus: knowledge of or genuine interest in martial arts, BJJ, Muay Thai, or combat sports

WHAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO
- Film anything (we handle all raw footage)
- Be available UAE timezone full-time (flexible, but some overlap helpful)
- Have agency experience — we want someone dedicated to us, not juggling 10 clients

TO APPLY
Please send:
1. A short intro (3–5 sentences) — who you are and why this role fits you
2. At least 2–3 examples of short-form video content you have edited (Reels, TikToks, or similar)
3. Your rate in USD per month for part-time (approx. 20 hrs/week)

Applications without a portfolio will not be considered. We are looking to move quickly and will start with a paid test project before a full offer.
