High-Level Social Media Manager & Video Editor for Christian Hip-Hop Artist

JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a highly skilled, proactive Social Media Manager and Short-Form Video Editor based in the Philippines to help manage and grow the online presence of an independent Christian hip-hop artist.

This is not a basic social media scheduling position.

We are not looking for someone who simply waits for content, adds subtitles, posts it, and checks a task off a list. We need someone who understands music culture, internet culture, storytelling, short-form video, audience development, artist branding, and what it takes to consistently grow an artist online.

The right person will be able to take hundreds of existing videos as well as new videos and turn them into a consistent stream of engaging content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

You should understand how to identify viral ---------- nts, create strong hooks, improve retention, follow current trends, and build a content strategy that feels natural to the artist instead of looking like generic marketing.

This position will begin part-time, but our goal is to find someone who can grow into a full-time, long-ter ---------- mber of the team.

WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

Your primary responsibilities will include:

Managing the artist’s social media content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube
Editing short-form videos for Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts
Posting content consistently, with the goal of publishing 3-5 days a week
Repurposing music videos, performances, interviews, podcasts, studio footage, lifestyle footage, behind-the-scenes videos, and other existing content
Finding strong ---------- nts inside longer videos and turning them into short-form content
Creating attention-grabbing text hooks, visual hooks, captions, subtitles, sound effects, transitions, and calls to action
Creating different versions of content when necessary for each platform
Writing captions that match the artist’s personality, voice, faith, humor, and audience
Researching current music, entertainment, ---------- , editing, and social media trends
Staying familiar with what is happening in Christian rap, Christian hip-hop, and mainstream hip-hop
Helping develop weekly and monthly content calendars
Building content plans around new singles, music videos, announcements, performances, and releases
Giving the artist clear instructions on what new content needs to be filmed
Organizing a large library of existing videos and content assets
Responding to comments and helping build an active community
Reviewing content performance and identifying what should be repeated, improved, or discontinued
Bringing new ideas to the team without waiting to be told exactly what to do
Helping keep social media deadlines, deliverables, and day-to-day operations organized
THE PERSON WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for someone who:

Has strong short-form video editing experience
Has experience managing social media accounts, not only editing videos
Understands Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts
Understands hooks, watch time, retention, pacing, storytelling, and audience psychology
Is current with social media trends and internet culture
Understands American humor, slang, music culture, and online audiences
Has strong written and spoken English
Can recognize the difference between a trend that fits the artist and one that feels forced
Can balance music promotion with faith, personality, humor, lifestyle, gaming, storytelling, and behind-the-scenes content
Can turn one piece of content into multiple strong posts
Can work without constant supervision
Communicates consistently and meets deadlines
Is willing to speak up when something needs to change
Takes ownership instead of waiting for instructions
Wants to build with an artist for multiple years
Is interested in eventually growing into a full-time position

Previous experience working with recording artists, musicians, creators, entertainment brands, record labels, or music marketing companies is strongly preferred.

Direct experience in Christian rap is not required, but you must be willing to deeply study the market, culture, leading artists, current trends, and target audience.

CONTENT STYLE AND REFERENCE ARTISTS

We are looking for someone who understands the consistency, personality, quality, and culture-driven content used by successful Christian and mainstream hip-hop artists.

We are not asking you to copy these artists.

We want someone who can study how they use short-form videos, music clips, humor, lifestyle content, storytelling, release promotion, personal branding, fan interaction, and repetition to remain visible.

The goal is to recognize what works, understand why it works, and develop an original strategy that fits an independent Christian hip-hop artist.

Introduce yourself and briefly explain your professional background.

Screen-share their social media accounts and explain:
What they are doing well
Which content formats they repeat

Present at least five original content ideas you would use for an independent Christian hip-hop artist.
Explain how you would repurpose one long-form video into multiple pieces of short-form content.
Explain what your first 30 days in this position would look like.
