Content Creator

We are looking for a Contract Content Creator to produce social-first video content for a part-time assignment based in New York City, New York. This role is ideal for someone who can take ideas from early concept through final edit while creating platform-native work for channels such as TikTok and Instagram Reels. The right person will balance creativity and execution, capturing new footage, reshaping existing assets, and delivering multiple engaging versions that support brand goals.

Responsibilities:

• Develop original short-form content ideas designed for social platforms and aligned with campaign objectives.
• Film content at client offices and other approved locations, ensuring each shoot generates a wide range of usable material.
• Guide on-camera talent during production and step in front of the camera when a concept calls for a creator-led presence.
• Edit videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and similar channels using CapCut or comparable tools, shaping pacing, hooks, and storytelling for audience engagement.
• Transform single shoots and archival footage into cutdowns, alternate openings, behind-the-scenes clips, and other fresh content variations.
• Apply AI-supported creative tools to expand footage options, bridge production gaps, and develop additional visual elements when needed.
• Partner with creative directors, designers, copywriters, social teams, clients, and creators to refine content and incorporate feedback efficiently.
• Manage scheduling, travel coordination, media organization, revisions, and final delivery within the allotted project hours.
• Proven experience creating branded short-form video content for social media environments.
• Advanced video shooting and editing ability, including expert use of CapCut or a similar editing platform.
• Proficiency with Adobe Photoshop and comfort incorporating AI-based tools into the content creation process.
• Strong understanding of social storytelling, including hooks, trends, pacing, and audience behavior across TikTok and Instagram Reels.
• Ability to independently lead work from concept development through filming, editing, and final asset delivery.
• Confidence directing talent, collaborating with clients, and appearing on camera when appropriate for the content.
• Solid organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple shoots, assets, edits, and feedback rounds within a part-time contract schedule.
• Basic photography knowledge; experience with motion graphics, After Effects, production equipment requiring strong attention to detail, or AI video platforms is a plus.
