Why This Role Exists

Pesty Marketing is a fast-growing marketing company that helps home service businesses generate consistent leads through digital marketing.

This role exists to ensure our content output remains **consistent, high quality, and optimized for viewer retention** as the company grows.

We are looking for someone who wants a **stable, long-term position** inside a fast-growing company.

# Core Competencies (Non-Negotiable)

## 1. Excellent Communication

Communication must be proactive and reliable.

* Providing updates on when deliverables will be ready
* Letting the team know ahead of time if you will be unavailable

All work must be quality checked before submission.

This includes verifying:

* No caption typos or grammar mistakes
* Clean cuts and proper timing

* Proper formatting for each platform

The goal is to deliver work that is ready to publish, not work that requires multiple rounds of corrections.

---

## 3. Audience-First Editing Mindset

Every edit must be approached from the perspective of the viewer.

You must constantly ask:

“Why would someone keep watching this instead of swiping away?”

This includes:

* Strong opening hooks
* Fast pacing
* Pattern interrupts
* Visual elements that maintain engagement

The goal is to maximize viewer retention.
