Content Production & Growth Department: Marketing / Content
Reporting To: Content Strategist
Contract: 3 Months
Role Overview
We are looking for a Content Creator who can own content end-to-end. From coming up with the idea to writing the script, creating/editing the content, and understanding how it performs. You will be expected to actively create content that people want to watch, share, save and talk about while building a strong community around the brand. The ideal candidate is someone who understands what makes content work on Instagram, and is naturally curious about trends and internet culture, and can turn a simple idea into engaging, platform-native content.
Key Responsibilities
1. Content Ideation & Creation
- Come up with fresh, original content ideas for Instagram and YouTube (short form).
- Identify trends, formats, conversations and cultural moments that the brand can participate in.
- Develop content concepts based on audience interests, brand objectives and performance insights.
- Turn ideas into hooks, scripts, shot lists and finished content.
- Create content independently using available resources.
- Experiment with different formats, hooks, storytelling styles and content structures to identify what works.
2. Scriptwriting & Storytelling
- Write short-form scripts that are conversational, engaging and native to the platform.
- Develop strong hooks that capture attention within the first few seconds.
- Adapt the same idea into different formats for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and other channels.
- Write content that feels natural and human, not like an advertisement or generic brand content.
3. Editing & Content Production
- Edit short-form videos independently using tools such as CapCut, Inshot, VN, Edits, Canva or similar.
- Add appropriate text, transitions, music, sound effects and pacing to make content engaging.
- Take ownership of the final output instead of relying entirely on designers or video editors.
4. Community Building
- Create content that encourages conversations, shares, saves and participation.
- Understand what the audience responds to and use those insights to shape future content.
- Actively monitor comments, DMs and audience conversations to identify content opportunities.
- Help build a community around the brand rather than simply growing follower count.
6. Performance & Optimisation
- Track content performance and understand why certain content works and why certain content doesn't.
- Monitor metrics such as reach, watch time, retention, shares, saves, engagement and follower growth.
- Identify winning hooks, formats, topics and storytelling styles.
- Continuously test and improve content based on performance.
- Contribute content ideas and variations for paid media based on learnings from organic content.
What Success Looks Like You will be evaluated on:
- Quality and consistency of content produced
- Ability to execute high-performing content pieces independently
- Growth in reach, engagement and relevant audience
- Improvement in watch time and content retention
- Growth in shares, saves and meaningful interactions
- Ability to identify and replicate winning content formats
- Contribution to brand awareness, community and business goals
- Speed and consistency of execution.
Required Skills
- Strong understanding of Instagram content
- Excellent writing and storytelling skills
- Strong understanding of hooks, retention and short-form video
- Ability to identify and adapt trends quickly
- Good understanding of what makes content shareable and engaging
- Strong video editing skills
- Ability to read basic content analytics and draw actionable insights
- Strong communication skills
Who We're Looking For We are looking for someone who:
- Thinks like a creator, not a social media manager
- Can write the script, create the content and edit it
- Is constantly consuming and analysing content
- Understands internet culture and emerging trends
- Has strong opinions about what makes content good
- Is comfortable experimenting and failing fast
- Is proactive and doesn't wait for a brief for every piece of content
