Social Media Content Manager and Creative Editor

A US-based skincare services brand is looking for a part-time social media content manager and creative editor to grow its organic social presence and turn viewers into booked appointments.

About the role

Social media is one of the brand’s main drivers of bookings, memberships, and product sales, and it publishes a high volume of content. You will take raw footage all the way to finished assets for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, editing short-form video and designing carousels and graphics built to drive bookings. You will use generative AI to speed up ideation, scripting, and asset prep, but every piece must look and sound polished, with clean typography, natural pacing, clear audio, and a refined beauty look.

Required Qualifications

3+ years of hands-on experience in social media content creation and short-form video editing for consumer brands
An active portfolio, creative reel, or brand accounts showing strong short-form video and graphic design work
Proficiency in at least one professional video editor: Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or DaVinci Resolve
Proficiency in Canva or Figma for graphic layouts
Daily, practical use of generative AI tools to speed up editing, ideation, and asset preparation
A strong eye for beauty aesthetics, brand color, typography, sound design, and mobile-first storytelling
Fluent written English for hooks, on-screen text, and captions

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with beauty, skincare, wellness, direct-to-consumer, or multi-location retail brands
Experience with AI tools such as Runway, Midjourney, ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, or Descript
Experience producing content tied to measurable results such as bookings, sign-ups, or product sales
Experience working from a creative brief and delivering finished assets with little back-and-forth

Responsibilities

Edit raw treatment footage, client results, b-roll, and trending formats into Reels, TikToks, and Shorts
Build every edit to hold attention in the opening seconds and end with a clear call to book
Repurpose single video concepts and photo shoots into educational carousels, quote graphics, interactive stories, and behind-the-scenes sequences
Use AI video, audio, and design tools to speed up turnaround, clean up audio, brainstorm hooks, and test creative angles
Refine every AI-assisted output until it meets the brand’s visual and audio standards
Write hooks, on-screen text, and captions that drive appointment clicks, membership sign-ups, and skincare inquiries
Maintain an organized content calendar and manage raw and finished assets in cloud storage
Track trends across skincare, beauty, and consumer retail as they emerge

Working arrangement

Part-time, fully remote independent contractor engagement (W-8BEN) at 20 hours per week, open to candidates based in South Africa. Hours are flexible, with daily overlap with US business hours. A portfolio or work samples are required to apply.

Who thrives in this role

Proud of their craft and unwilling to ship anything that looks rushed
Works quickly without letting quality slip
Catches a trend early and adapts it to fit the brand
Thinks about what makes a viewer book, not only what earn
