Role Overview

If you enjoy turning ideas into high-performing content, understand what actually drives retention on YouTube and Instagram, and want real ownership over how a fast-growing brand shows up online—our Social Media Editor role is for you.

We are a large and rapidly scaling finance brand with over 500,000+ YouTube subscribers, known for strategic, high-value content and strong audience trust.

As our Social Media Editor, you will own the execution of both long-form and short-form video content across YouTube and Instagram. Your work will directly impact audience growth, retention, brand authority, and revenue. Success in this role is measured by output consistency, speed, content performance metrics, workflow efficiency, and the overall strength of our visual brand.
