About the job Short-Form Video Creator (Performance Contract) - Remote

Engagement: 1099 contractor. Performance-based. Location: Remote.

A note from the founder

Most professional services firms are still treating TikTok, Reels, and Shorts as a place where their interns post stock-footage memes.

That is not a brand. That is filler.

The firms that win the next decade on social are the ones that put real voices in front of real cameras and ship at cadence. We are looking for original video creators who can build TWF's short-form presence on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

This is a performance role with a clear climb. Lower starter rates. Real upside on view milestones.

What you would do

• Concept, shoot (often using TWF-supplied raw or self-recorded), edit, caption, publish
• Originals - not clips. You build the narrative from scratch.
• Themes: workforce strategy, hospitality industry commentary, behavioral health workforce, founder reflection, MBE business building
• Coordinate publishing schedule with Social Media Manager
• Track view performance and iterate

• Self-directed, weekly cadence reliability

Bonus: Background in B2B services, professional content, healthcare, hospitality, or government services.
