• Adapt content formats across platforms (Reels, Stories, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
• Stay on top of platform trends, audio, challenges, and viral formats
• Help source or work with community voices or micro-creators as needed
• Maintain the brand voice while bringing your own flavor to it

What We’re Looking For

• A strong portfolio or examples of short-form video content (bonus if you’ve created content for diaspora or cultural brands)
• Confidence being on camera and telling stories that connect emotionally
• Experience using tools like CapCut, InShot, Adobe Creative Suite and AI tools
• A feel for how to turn big ideas into bite-sized, social-first content
• Strong grasp of internet culture, meme language, and platform nuance
• Comfortable working independently and meeting deadlines

Nice to Have

• Fluency or familiarity with diaspora communities across Africa, the Caribbean, or Latin America
• Experience working in fintech, remittances, or community-based brands
• Bonus if you speak another language (French, Spanish, etc.)

Why You’ll Love This Role

• You’ll help shape the voice of a bold brand that’s here for more than just transactions
• Your work will spotlight real people, real stories, and real impact
• You’ll have creative freedom to try new things and own your ideas
• We’re a fun, global team that moves fast, cares deeply, and celebrates loudly
