Role description

This is a Creator-in-Residence role at an early-stage startup (our client) based in Bengaluru. You will be the one-person content engine, responsible for ideating, shooting, editing, and publishing content across Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and YouTube Shorts. You will be the face of the brand on camera, own the end-to-end content pipeline, and work directly with the founder to build a distinctive and growing online presence. This role is ideal for someone who lives on short-form content, has strong on-camera confidence, and can edit what they shoot without needing a separate team.

Roles and responsibilities

• Be the face of the brand and appear in reels, shorts, talking-head videos, and live sessions across platforms.
• Shoot and edit short-form video content end to end, including scripts, hooks, captions, sound, transitions, and final publish.
• Own the day-to-day content operations across Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and YouTube Shorts.
• Ideate, plan, and execute a content calendar aligned with brand goals and platform trends.
• Stay on top of trending audio, formats, and memes and apply them quickly to keep content timely.
• Collaborate with the founder on campaign ideas, product launches, and content experiments.
• Track performance metrics including views, watch time, reach, and engagement, and iterate content based on data.
• Build and maintain a consistent visual style, brand voice, and content identity across all platforms.

Requirements

• Comfortable and confident on camera and able to represent a brand authentically and consistently.
• Proficient in video editing tools such as CapCut, Premiere Pro, or similar. Mobile-first editing is fine.
• Strong understanding of short-form content including hooks, pacing, captions, retention, and platform formats.
• Proven experience growing at least one social media platform such as Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, or Twitter/X.
• Fluent in English and Hindi and able to switch between both naturally based on content context.
• Self-starter who can manage deadlines, work with minimal hand-holding, and thrive in a fast-moving startup environment.
• A portfolio of published content you have personally shot and edited. Personal pages, creator accounts, or college clubs all count.
• Bonus: experience with AI video tools such as Kling, Runway, ElevenLabs, or Creatify.

Benefits

• Direct mentorship from the founder and real ownership over the brand's online presence from day one.
• Opportunity to grow into Social Media Head and lead the function as the brand scales.
• Build your own creator portfolio and personal brand while growing the company's audience.
• Hands-on experience across the full content stack including strategy, production, editing, publishing, and analytics.
• Creative freedom to experiment with formats, ideas, and platforms without bureaucracy.
