About Us

MC Korean Skincare is a disruptive beauty brand at the intersection of science and aesthetics. Having established a strong foothold on TikTok Shop and Amazon, we are now scaling our creative department. We aren't just looking for someone to "cut clips"—we need a Senior Creative Strategist who can architect our visual identity and drive multi-million dollar growth through high-performance video content.

What You’ll Do (The Strategic Impact)

• Creative Direction: Lead the visual storytelling for our brand. You will translate marketing goals into high-converting video frameworks (Hook-Body-CTA) that resonate with the US and global Chinese markets.
• High-Stakes Editing: Produce "hero" content for TikTok Shop Ads and Amazon Premium A+ content, focusing on advanced color grading (achieving that specific K-Beauty "Glass Skin" look) and sound design.
• Performance Optimization: Analyze retention graphs and ROAS data to iterate on creative assets. You don’t just wait for feedback; you proactively suggest "B-versions" based on what the data tells you.
• Bilingual Brand Voice: Oversee and refine English/Mandarin messaging to ensure cultural nuances are captured in subtitles and copy, maintaining a premium brand voice.
• Workflow Management: Establish efficient SOPs for content production, from raw footage organization to final delivery, ensuring the team meets aggressive launch deadlines.
• Trend Forecasting: Be the first to identify emerging TikTok/Social trends and "bridge" them to the K-beauty niche before they go viral.

Requirements (Senior Level)

• Experience: 2+ years of professional video editing experience, ideally in Beauty, Fashion, or DTC E-commerce. A proven track record of "viral" or high-ROAS content is essential.
• Advanced Technical Skills: Mastery of Adobe Premiere Pro & After Effects. While CapCut is great for trends, we expect "Senior" level polish in motion graphics, color correction, and sound mixing.
• Strategic Portfolio: Your portfolio must demonstrate more than just "clips"—we want to see case studies (e.g., "This video led to a 20% increase in CTR").
• Leadership Mindset: Ability to mentor junior creators/interns and take full ownership of the creative pipeline.

Nice to Have

• Studio Direction: Experience directing creators or UGC influencers on lighting and framing.
• Growth Marketing: Familiarity with TikTok Shop Ads Manager or Amazon Attribution.
• Beauty Obsession: Deep knowledge of the 10-step routine, active ingredients (Retinol, Cica, etc.), and the current K-Beauty landscape.
• Bilingual Skills: Fluency in Mandarin (Reading/Writing for subtitles and localized content strategy).

What’s In It For You

• Strategic Authority: You will have a seat at the table in marketing meetings and a direct say in our creative direction.
• Profit-Linked Growth: Potential for performance-based bonuses tied to campaign success.
• Full Tech Stack: Access to professional lighting, camera gear, and the latest AI creative tools.
• Free Skincare: A perpetual supply of our science-backed products.

How to Apply

We are prioritizing candidates who think like marketers and edit like artists. Please provide:

• Resume highlighting your E-commerce achievements.
• Senior Portfolio: 3–5 examples of your best work, including a brief note on the results each video achieved.
• Strategic Insight: A short paragraph on one K-beauty trend you think is currently undervalued on TikTok Shop.
