Senior Social Media Content Strategist & Video Editor

Senior Social Media Content Strategist & Video Editor

Full-Time | Remote | Long-Term Position

Compensation: $1,000–$1,500 USD/month + Performance Bonuses

THIS IS NOT A BASIC SOCIAL MEDIA VA POSITION.

PB Agency is looking for an exceptional Social Media Content Strategist & Video Editor who understands what makes people STOP scrolling, WATCH content, SHARE it, and eventually BUY.

We are a fast-growing U.S.-based marketing agency working with entrepreneurs, educators, experts, and personal brands.

We do not need someone who simply waits for us to tell them what to post.

We need someone who can look at a brand and say:

“Here are 10 content ideas we should create this week—and here's why I believe they'll work.”

If you constantly study Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, creators, trends, hooks, editing styles, storytelling, and viral content, we want to hear from you.

YOUR ROLE

You will help PB Agency and our clients develop and execute high-performing organic social media content.

You will be responsible for the entire content process:

IDEA → STRATEGY → EDIT → POST → ANALYZE → IMPROVE

Your Responsibilities

• Develop new content ideas every week
• Research emerging social media trends
• Study competitors and successful creators
• Identify viral content formats we can adapt for our brands
• Create strong hooks and opening sequences
• Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook
• Repurpose long-form videos, podcasts, Zoom calls and trainings into short-form content
• Edit long-form YouTube content when necessary
• Add captions, B-roll, graphics, zooms, pattern interrupts and other retention elements
• Create social graphics and carousels
• Write captions and post copy
• Schedule and publish content
• Maintain content calendars
• Organize raw and completed content
• Monitor content performance
• Review views, retention, engagement, shares, saves and other performance metrics
• Identify what's working and recommend what we should create next

Most importantly:

You are expected to BRING IDEAS to the company—not just execute ours.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You should have at least 2–3 years of professional social media/content experience.

You should understand:

• Instagram Reels
• TikTok
• YouTube Shorts
• YouTube long-form
• Facebook
• Personal-brand content
• Educational content
• Direct-response content
• Storytelling
• Hooks
• Viewer retention
• Pattern interrupts
• Content repurposing
• Social media algorithms
• Trend identification

You should be highly proficient with tools such as:

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• CapCut
• Final Cut Pro
• After Effects
• Canva
• Photoshop
• AI content tools

You don't need to know every program listed above.

We care about your OUTPUT more than the software you use.

YOU MAY BE A GREAT FIT IF...

You watch a Reel and immediately think about why the first 3 seconds worked.

You notice editing styles before most people notice they're becoming trends.

You can take a 45-minute podcast and identify the 10 moments most likely to perform as short-form content.

You can study successful creators and reverse-engineer why their content works.

You understand that great editing isn't about adding random effects—it's about maintaining attention.

You are comfortable receiving feedback and making changes quickly.

You don't need someone constantly telling you what to do.

And you're obsessed with becoming exceptional at social media.

THIS POSITION IS NOT FOR YOU IF...

You only know how to schedule posts.

You need someone to provide every content idea.

You consider yourself primarily a virtual assistant.

You have never professionally edited videos.

You don't actively consume and study social media.

You cannot explain why one piece of content performed better than another.

You are managing 10 freelance clients and looking for another one.

We're looking for someone who wants to become a long-term member of PB Agency.

COMPENSATION

Starting Compensation: $1,000–$1,500 USD/month

Final compensation depends on experience, portfolio, editing ability, strategic thinking and demonstrated results.

There will also be opportunities for:

• Performance bonuses
• Compensation increases
• Increased responsibility
• Leadership opportunities

An exceptional person could eventually grow into a Head of Content / Creative Director position within PB Agency.
