Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Concept, shoot, and edit short-form video content for TikTok, Instagram (Feed, Reels, Stories), and emerging platforms and formats — always phone-first, always platform-native
  • Appear on camera as a subject or host when content calls for it — confidently and authentically representing the PopSockets brand
  • Partner with our social team or Founder to align content with campaign briefs, product launches, and brand moments — and bring your own creative ideas to every collaboration
  • Contribute to testing new content formats across platforms, including short-form video formats, interactive content, and whatever comes next — with a genuine curiosity for what performs and why
  • Manage your own production timeline and deliver assets on deadline
  • Stay plugged into social trends and proactively bring fresh ideas to the table

Requirements

  • Proven experience creating content across TikTok and Instagram — a portfolio or active channels are a must
  • Strong video production and editing skills (we love to see what you can do with CapCut, Premiere, Final Cut, or whatever's in your toolkit)
  • Comfortable and confident on camera — you don’t need to be a performer, but you should feel natural in front of a lens
  • A sharp eye for aesthetics and storytelling — you know what looks good and what performs
  • Chameleon content qualities: you can adapt your style to speak to different consumer types — sometimes pragmatic and tech-forward, sometimes style-led and trend-aware
  • Ability to work independently, take creative direction from a brief, and turn feedback around quickly
  • Strong communication and self-management skills — you’re reliable, responsive, and easy to collaborate with remotely

Preferred

  • Experience with lifestyle, product, or accessory content; familiarity with PopSockets as a brand
  • Your own filming equipment (camera/phone, lighting, stabilizer, etc.)
  • A following or engaged audience of your own — not required, but always interesting
  • Familiarity with social analytics and what makes content perform
