• Assist team with last‑minute tasks or small production needs

• Join weekly check‑ins with the Branded Content Team

• Stay up to date on TikTok best practices, trends, and performance drivers

• Track what’s resonating and adjust filming/editing approach accordingly

• Maintain smooth day-to-day creative workflows

What You Need

• 1+ years of experience in content

• Familiarity with TikTok trends, performance patterns, and storytelling styles

• Solid editing skills (CapCut or Premiere) with attention to detail

• Ability to script and concept content that feels natural, product-forward, and scroll-stopping
