● Use tools such as Opus Clip to identify and create short-form content from longer videos.
● Carry out basic video editing and formatting, ideally using Camtasia or similar editing software.
● Assist with creating and refining social media content and captions.
● Use ChatGPT, Claude, or similar AI tools to help optimize scripts, captions, titles, descriptions, and other content.

What We're Looking For
- The ideal candidate will have previous experience working with social media content, video
editing, or content management, preferably for a business or professional brand.
You should be:
● Highly proficient in written and spoken English, with excellent communication skills.
● Experienced with YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
● Comfortable working with video content and short-form video.
● Familiar with video editing software such as Camtasia, or able to quickly learn similar platforms.
● Experienced with Opus Clip or similar AI-powered video clipping tools.

● Familiar with social media posting, scheduling, captions, and content optimization.
● Creative and able to understand what makes content engaging.
● Organized and able to manage a repeatable content workflow.

● Comfortable working independently while taking direction and feedback from the
business owner.
Ideal Experience
- Experience working with YouTube content for a business, professional, financial, or
personal brand would be highly advantageous.
We are particularly interested in candidates who have previously helped another business
owner or professional manage their content workflow from long-form video → short-form
clips → captions/optimization → scheduling → publishing.
Experience with additional social media management or content scheduling platforms would
also be a plus.
