Job description

Role overview

Create high-volume, performance-focused short-form video for TikTok and Douyin while working from China. The role centers on authentic, mobile-first content rather than polished studio production: you will develop ideas, film independently, adapt formats to platform behavior, and collaborate with an English-speaking marketing team to improve engagement and retention.

Responsibilities

• Produce native short-form videos designed for TikTok and Douyin, primarily using a phone-based setup.


• Build compelling hooks in the opening one to three seconds and test multiple creative angles quickly.


• Create talking-head, POV, product demonstration, problem-solution, trend, remix, testimonial, and review formats.


• Adapt concepts, pacing, presentation, and storytelling to current Douyin audience behavior and trends.


• Coordinate clearly with global stakeholders in both Chinese and English on creative direction and execution.


• Monitor and report performance indicators such as views, engagement, and watch time, using results to guide iteration.

Requirements

• Based in China, with the role potentially structured as remote or hybrid depending on location.


• Fluent in written and spoken Chinese and English.


• Demonstrated experience creating short-form content for TikTok, Douyin, or both.


• Portfolio required, including live examples of published work and evidence of meaningful engagement.


• Strong understanding of platform-native storytelling, trend participation, hook development, and audience retention.


• Able to film independently, execute at speed, and perform basic editing with CapCut, native platform tools, or similar software.

Nice to have

• Experience creating content for e-commerce or direct-to-consumer brands.


• Familiarity with TikTok Shop or Douyin e-commerce.


• Experience adapting creative for international audiences and understanding the difference between organic and paid performance content.

Benefits and work setup

The source describes a China-based position that may be remote or hybrid depending on city. Success is measured by consistent delivery of effective videos, strong engagement relative to audience size, smooth bilingual collaboration, and rapid creative improvement.
