Job description

The role

We're looking for a Social Media & Video Editor to shape how Kongi shows up on social.

This is a hands-on, creative role for someone who thinks like a creator and knows what makes a video feel native to each platform. You'll be Kongi's in-house creator and editor, coming up with, shooting, editing and posting short-form video on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and whatever comes next.

You'll also lead how Kongi talks with its community: spotting the trends, creators, brands and moments where Kongi belongs in the conversation.

What you'll do

Make social-first content

• Come up with, shoot, edit and post short-form video for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and new platforms.


• Take ideas from first thought to posted, on your own.


• Make fast-turn videos about shopping, finds, deals, style, creators and internet culture.


• Build recurring series that feel like Kongi and can grow over time.


• Turn launches and brand moments into videos that fit right into the feed.


• Try new formats, edits and platform features to keep our channels fresh.

Shape our short-form strategy

• Set Kongi's TikTok and short-form video strategy with the founding team.


• Stay close to creators, trends, sounds, formats and conversations as they happen.


• Read the numbers to see what's working, and use it in what you make next.


• Find ways to grow reach, engagement and followers through organic social.

Build our community

• Make Kongi part of the conversation, not just an account that posts.


• Lead community engagement on our channels, including commenting and joining relevant conversations.


• Find shoppers, brands, finds and stories that can become content.


• Bring what the community is saying back to the team.

What we're looking for

• Experience making social-first content for a brand, publisher, agency, creator or your own channels.


• Strong short-form video skills: you can come up with, shoot and edit a video on your own.


• A portfolio that shows you understand TikTok, Reels, Shorts and how stories work on each.


• Great instincts for what makes a video entertaining, shareable and part of the culture.


• A strong feel for US youth culture, shopping, style, creators and the internet.


• Sharp writing that changes tone for each platform and moment.


• You like moving fast and can jump on a trend within hours.

What success looks like

• A steady flow of social-native video made in-house.


• Growing organic reach, engagement and followers on our main platforms.


• 2-3 recurring series people start to connect with Kongi.


• Joining trends and conversations in hours, not days.

About you

You've probably already sent the video before it hits the group chat. You know a great post doesn't need a big production, just the right idea, the right edit and the speed to get it out. You love a good find, and you're just as interested in the people and conversations around it.
