Organic Content Creator & Social Growth Strategist
Worldwide
We're looking for an exceptional creator to help us make VOLTA impossible to ignore on social media. VOLTA is a new technology product in the hookah industry, and one of our biggest priorities right now is growing organic awareness through content. We're not looking for a traditional social media manager. We're looking for someone who understands short-form content deeply - someone who can research what is working online, turn trends and ideas into original content for VOLTA, create videos themselves, help our founders create better content, and continuously learn from performance. You would become an important creative partner to the ShishaX team and potentially one of the faces of the brand. What you'll do * Research TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and emerging social trends * Identify formats, hooks and ideas that can be adapted for VOLTA * Develop our organic social content strategy * Come up with original short-form video concepts * Write scripts, hooks and talking points * Film content yourself and appear on camera where relevant * Edit short-form videos from concept to final version * Create content using existing ShishaX/VOLTA footage * Give our founders specific ideas and scripts for videos they should record * Test different hooks, formats and creative directions * Track content performance and understand why videos perform or don't * Use performance data to continuously improve the strategy * Help us build awareness for VOLTA within the global hookah community Who we're looking for You understand social media because you actually use it. You know what makes someone stop scrolling. You can recognize a strong hook from a weak one. You are comfortable in front of a camera and communicate naturally in English. You can film and edit high-quality short-form content without needing a large production team. You understand TikTok/Reels/Shorts culture and know how to research trends without simply copying them. You are curious, creative, proactive and comfortable experimenting. You understand that organic content requires constant testing, learning and iteration. Experience with CapCut, Premiere Pro or similar editing software is important. We are extremely AI-friendly. If AI tools help you research faster, generate ideas, improve editing, test concepts or optimize your workflow, we want you to use them. Knowledge of hookah/shisha is a plus, but not required. Curiosity and willingness to learn the category deeply are more important. When applying, please send us: * Examples of short-form videos you've created * Your own TikTok/Instagram/YouTube accounts if relevant * Your 3–5 strongest pieces of content * Any examples of videos that achieved strong organic reach * What exactly you were responsible for on those videos * Your hourly or monthly rate * Your availability Please also answer: What's one brand you think is doing organic social content extremely well right now, and why? Selected candidates will have a short interview followed by a small creative task. This is initially a part-time position with the opportunity to grow into a much larger role. We're not looking for someone to simply execute a content calendar. We're looking for someone who wants to help us figure out how to make VOLTA a brand people constantly see, talk about and remember.
