Short-Form Content Creator + Social Media Growth Strategist

Short-Form Content Creator + Social Media Growth Strategist

IMPORTANT: This application requires 20 OnlineJobs.ph points.
We intentionally set the application cost at 20 points because we are looking for candidates who have read the entire posting and genuinely believe they are a strong fit. Please do not spend your points if you cannot provide the portfolio and performance examples requested below.

NO AGENCIES.
We are hiring one individual directly. Please do not apply on behalf of an agency, outsourcing company, team, or another person. We want to communicate and work directly with the person who will actually be creating the content.

Instagram + TikTok | Vintage Furniture + Interiors

We are a vintage and contemporary furniture company based in Los Angeles looking for a seriously creative social media person in the Philippines who understands internet culture, design, interiors, fashion, music, humor, and what makes people stop scrolling.

This is not a basic Social Media Manager job.

We are not looking for someone whose main skill is scheduling posts, making Canva graphics, or writing generic captions.

We want someone who can look at raw footage of a strange vintage chair, an incredible sofa, a styled room, a customer in the store, a delivery, or something happening behind the scenes and immediately think:

“I know how to turn this into content.”

You should understand TikTok and Instagram Reels deeply — hooks, pacing, editing, storytelling, trends, music, text overlays, retention, shares, saves, comments, and why certain videos take off while others disappear.

Our style is vintage, eclectic, editorial, slightly weird, design-forward, colorful, and culturally aware.

Think less “furniture store social media” and more fashion/design/media brand that happens to sell furniture.

What You’ll Do

You’ll take raw videos and photos from our team and turn them into strong short-form content for TikTok and Instagram Reels.

You’ll also:

* Create original TikTok and Instagram Reel concepts
* Develop strong hooks that stop the scroll immediately
* Edit short-form video
* Write text overlays, captions, and CTAs
* Choose music and audio when appropriate
* Create recurring content series
* Tell our team what footage you need us to shoot
* Adapt content differently for TikTok versus Instagram when needed
* Follow trends without making the brand feel like it is desperately chasing trends
* Understand TikTok-native humor, storytelling, editing, and pacing
* Review performance and identify what should be repeated, changed, or dropped
* Track views, watch time, shares, saves, comments, follows, profile visits, and website traffic
* Identify organic posts that are strong enough to put advertising money behind
* Study furniture, interiors, fashion, vintage, art, architecture, and lifestyle accounts for opportunities
* Test new ideas constantly

Eventually, we want you coming to us saying:

“Here are the three things I think we should shoot this week.”

Not waiting for us to tell you exactly what to post.

What We Are NOT Looking For

We are not hiring someone simply to:

* schedule posts
* make graphics
* repost content
* follow a content calendar someone else creates
* write generic captions
* copy whatever is trending

We want a creative thinker who understands why content works.

You MUST Have

A portfolio of short-form content you personally helped create.

More importantly, we want proof of performance.

Show us examples where your content performed significantly better than the account normally performs.

For example:

An account normally gets 2,000–5,000 views and a video you created reached 75,000 or 200,000.

That interests us much more than someone saying they worked on an account with 2 million followers.

We want to know exactly what YOU did.

Did you create the concept?

The hook?

The edit?

The text?

The music?

The caption?

The posting strategy?

The creative direction?

Tell us.

The Person We’re Looking For

You probably spend a lot of time on TikTok and Instagram.

That’s a good thing.

You notice things online before everyone else starts copying them.

You understand why something feels cool versus why something feels like an advertisement.

You can be funny without trying too hard.

You understand aesthetics, but you also understand that pretty does not automatically mean viral.

Sometimes the strangest object in the store will make better content than the most expensive piece.

You have opinions.

You have taste.

You experiment.

And you pay attention to numbers.

Experience with any of these is a plus:

Vintage furniture
Interior design
Fashion
Art
Architecture
Music
Lifestyle brands
TikTok growth
Instagram growth
UGC
Editorial content
Short-form storytelling
E-commerce

Hours + Pay

Approximately 20 hours per week to start

$7–$9 USD per hour depending on experience and portfolio

We will begin with a 2-week paid trial.

If it is a great fit, this can become a permanent role with additional hours and potential performance bonuses.

HOW TO APPLY

Please do not send us a generic application.

Start your application with:

I KNOW WHY PEOPLE STOP SCROLLING

Then send us:

1. Links to 3 TikToks or Instagram Reels you personally worked on
2. Screenshots of analytics whenever possible
3. What the account normally averaged versus what your content achieved
4. Exactly what you personally did on each piece of content
5. Links to TikTok or Instagram accounts you have helped grow

Then answer these two questions:

1. What do you think most furniture and interior-design brands are doing wrong on social media right now?

2. If we gave you the exact same raw Sunbeam video, what would you do differently with it on TikTok versus Instagram Reels?

Please do not answer with AI-generated generic advice. We want to hear how you actually think.

Paid Creative Test

Final candidates will receive the same raw Sunbeam footage and complete a small paid creative test.

You’ll create one piece of short-form content including:

* Hook
* Edit
* On-screen text
* Music/audio
* Caption
* CTA

Then briefly tell us why you made those choices and what you would test next if the video underperformed.
