We are looking for someone to work full time as a Social Media Content Manager/Video Editor with at least 2-3 years experience managing socials for brands and/or creators. Must also have.....
1. A strong foundation starts with visual storytelling — knowing how to frame a narrative, build tension or interest across a short-form clip, and hook an audience in the first two seconds.
2. Photography and videography basics — composition rules (rule of thirds, leading lines), lighting fundamentals (natural vs. artificial, three-point lighting), and camera settings if shooting on a DSLR or mirrorless. Even shooting on a phone benefits from understanding these principles.
3. Copywriting — writing captions that complement visuals, not just describe them. This includes understanding platform-specific voice (TikTok is conversational, LinkedIn is more measured) and basic SEO for hashtags and keywords.
4. Graphic design — creating thumbnails, story graphics, and overlays. Tools like Canva cover most needs, but knowing Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop opens more doors.
5. Brand consistency — maintaining a recognizable visual identity across posts: consistent color palettes, fonts, and tone.
6. Trend awareness — knowing how to identify a trend early, adapt it to your niche, and execute before it peaks.
7. Video Editing skills that include
a. Cuts and pacing — the ability to trim fat from footage, time cuts to music or speech rhythm, and control the emotional pace of a video. Good editing is mostly invisible; bad editing loses viewers instantly.
b. Color grading — applying LUTs or manual color correction to give footage a consistent, polished look. Even basic warmth/contrast adjustments make a big difference.
c. Audio editing — cleaning up background noise, syncing audio, mixing music levels so voiceover is always audible, and using royalty-free music sources (Epidemic Sound, Artlist).
d. Text and captions — adding animated subtitles (CapCut auto-captions are common), lower thirds, and kinetic text. e. Captions are no longer optional — most short-form video is watched without sound.
e. Motion and transitions — knowing when a transition adds energy versus when a simple cut is cleaner. Jump cuts, whip pans, and match cuts each serve specific purposes.
f. Platform-specific export — understanding aspect ratios (9:16 for Reels/TikTok, 1:1 for feed, 16:9 for YouTube), resolution requirements, and file sizes for each platform.
