Social Media Manager / Video Ed

We run a land clearing and forestry mulching company in Indiana, USA. Our work is extremely visual — big machines turning overgrown, jungle-thick properties into clean, usable land. Before/after transformations, heavy equipment in action, drone-worthy job sites. Our clients range from homeowners to the Indianapolis Colts.

We want to look like the biggest, most professional operator in our state. Your job is to make that happen through consistent, high-quality content.

The Role (Full-Time, 40 hrs/week)
You will own our social media presence end-to-end:

• Edit short-form videos (Reels / YouTube Shorts / Facebook video) from raw phone footage our crew shoots on job sites
• Create before/after photo posts following our established brand guidelines (we have a complete brand system: colors, fonts, watermark, templates)
• Post daily across Facebook , Instagram, Google Business Profile, and YouTube Shorts
• Send our crew simple shot lists so the footage you receive keeps getting better
• Track what performs and double down on it — you drive the content strategy, not just execute it
• Write clean, simple captions (we value plain-spoken over clever)
• Manage engagement: reply to comments and DMs, respond to Google reviews, and interact with local/industry accounts to grow our reach
• Build a content backlog and study what top contractor/equipment brands are doing so we stay ahead

This role will grow. As you master the core content work, you’ll help expand our content operation — new formats, new channels, bigger campaigns. We promote from within our own ambitions.

At first, the owner approves each post before it goes live. As you prove your judgment, you’ll get full autonomy. Our goal is to be hands-off.
Hours: Work whenever you want. We care about output, not your schedule. No US-hours requirement.

You’re a great fit if:

• You have 2+ years editing short-form video and can show results — views, follower growth, or engagement you personally drove
• You understand WHY content performs, not just how to edit it. You have opinions about hooks, pacing, and what makes someone stop scrolling
• You use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, CapCut AI features, etc.) to work faster — we’re an AI-forward company and will give you access to our tools
• You’re self-directed. You propose ideas; you don’t wait for instructions
• You want ONE stable full-time client, not freelance juggling

Tools we use: CapCut or Premiere (your choice), Meta Business Suite, Claude AI (we have custom automation you’ll be trained on), Google Business Profile
Pay: $650–800/month depending on experience, paid twice monthly. 13th month pay. Raises tied to performance — if our brand grows, your pay grows.

How to Apply
Start your application with the word TIMBER so I know you read this. Then include:
1. Links to 3 videos you edited yourself (short-form preferred). For each, one sentence on what YOUR contribution was and how it performed
2. One specific content idea for a land clearing company — what’s the hook, what’s the format, why will it work?
3. Your monthly salary expectation
4. What AI tools you currently use in your workflow, if any

Applications that skip these steps will not be read. Shortlisted candidates will complete a short paid test project ($20–30) before hiring.
