Part-Time Social Media Content Creator & Video Editor

We are an established U.S.-based local service business looking for a creative, dependable Social Media Content Creator & Video Editor to join our team long-term.

Hours: Approximately 20 hours per week
Starting Pay: $6 USD per hour
Schedule: Part-time, with some flexibility
Long-Term Position: Yes

Additional performance-based bonuses may be available for the right person.

About the Role

We will provide you with raw photos, video clips, business information, and access to content/AI tools.

Your responsibility will be to turn those materials into engaging social media content for:

Instagram
TikTok

Facebook

We are looking for someone who can do more than simply place photos into Canva templates.

You should understand how to create content that makes people stop scrolling, watch, engage, share, save, and eventually become interested in the business.

Responsibilities

You will help with:

Editing short-form Reels and TikTok videos
Creating strong hooks for the first few seconds of videos
Turning raw photos and videos into polished social content
Creating photo posts and carousels
Creating Instagram and Facebook Stories
Writing natural captions and calls-to-action
Repurposing content appropriately across platforms
Scheduling and organizing posts
Maintaining a weekly content calendar
Researching current social media trends
Suggesting new content ideas
Reviewing basic analytics and identifying what content performs best
Helping improve reach, engagement, followers, and customer inquiries
Expected Weekly Output

For approximately 20 hours of work per week, we are generally looking for someone capable of producing approximately:

7–10 quality short-form videos/Reels
5–7 photo posts, graphics, or carousels
14–21 Story frames
Captions and calls-to-action
Scheduling and cross-posting
Basic content research and analytics review

These are general targets, not a requirement to create low-quality content just to reach a number.

Quality is more important than quantity.

Good content may also be repurposed across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok instead of creating everything from scratch for every platform.

What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate:

Has experience creating short-form social media videos
Has strong visual judgment
Understands TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook content
Can identify good moments from raw footage
Understands hooks, pacing, text placement, music, and calls-to-action
Can create content without needing constant supervision
Is creative and willing to suggest new ideas
Has good written English
Pays close attention to instructions
Is organized and dependable
Can meet deadlines consistently
Is comfortable using AI tools as part of the creative process

Experience with tools such as CapCut, Canva, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, ChatGPT, AI video tools, or similar software is a plus.

You do not need to know every tool listed above.

We care more about the quality of your work and your ability to learn.

Important

We are specifically looking for someone who thinks like a content creator, not only a video editor.

For example, if we give you 30 raw video clips, we do not want you to simply combine all 30 clips.

We want you to identify:

Which clips are strongest
What the story should be
What the opening hook should be
What will keep someone watching
What should be removed
What call-to-action makes sense

Please give an honest answer.

Hiring Process

Candidates with strong applications and portfolios will be invited to complete a short paid creative test.

The test will allow us to compare candidates based on actual work rather than only interviews.

Please only submit work that you personally created.

We look forward to seeing your work.
