What you'll do
Create engaging UGC-style video content for social media, marketing campaigns, advertisements, and other digital channels.
Follow provided scripts and confidently bring different characters, scenarios, and concepts to life on camera.
Develop and adapt scripts when needed to make content feel natural, engaging, and appropriate for the platform.
Produce creative content beyond standard talking-head videos, using different locations, characters, props, camera angles, transitions, and storytelling techniques.
Use strong visual, verbal, and viral hooks to capture viewers' attention within the first few seconds.
Research social media trends, viral content formats, and emerging UGC styles and apply relevant ideas to new content.
Record high-quality video and audio using appropriate camera, lighting, and microphone equipment.
Collaborate with the marketing and creative teams to understand campaign objectives and translate them into effective UGC concepts.
Record multiple variations of content, hooks, scripts, and calls to action for testing.
Incorporate feedback and make revisions to content when required.
Maintain consistent quality and meet agreed content deadlines.
What we're looking for
Strong on-camera presence and confidence communicating naturally on video.
Ability to follow scripts while delivering lines naturally rather than sounding scripted.
Ability to interpret and portray different characters, personalities, and scenarios.
Strong understanding of UGC and short-form video content.
Experience creating content for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or similar platforms.
Understanding of visual hooks, viral hooks, storytelling, pacing, and viewer retention.
Creative mindset with the ability to turn simple concepts into engaging videos.
Strong camera and microphone quality suitable for professional content creation.
Ability to independently plan and record content.
