• Organise and manage video and image assets from Google Drive.
• Convert professional footage supplied by a photographer/videographer into ad-ready, platform-specific content.
• Optimise hooks, pacing, and engagement to increase reach and retention.
• Repurpose existing content creatively (splicing clips, combining footage, refreshing older videos).
• Collaborate with the client to ensure content aligns with platform-specific growth strategies.
• Confident use of CapCut for video editing.
• Support minor content scheduling or posting as required.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of social media platforms, algorithms, and engagement strategies.
• Confident repurposing content for multiple platforms.
• Experience creating content designed for organic reach and paid ads.
• Up-to-date with social media trends, hooks, and content optimisation techniques.
• CapCut proficiency is essential; experience with other editing tools an advantage.
• Excellent organisational skills and ability to work independently.
• Fully set up home office with reliable internet and power backup.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Bonus: experience with YouTube, self-filming setups, or content strategy.
