Short-Form Content Partner — Ideas + Editing for a Founder's Personal Brand

I run an AI marketing agency and I'm building my personal brand on Instagram. I'm looking for a creative right-hand — someone who brings the ideas AND edits them into scroll-stopping Reels. Not just a pair of hands. A partner who owns my short-form content with me. I film the raw footage — talking to camera, screen recordings, demos of the AI systems we build. But I want someone thinking ahead of me: pitching concepts, spotting trends, writing hooks, and turning it all into content that makes business owners stop and go "how do I get that?" The audience is service-based business owners — real estate agents, gym owners, tradies, clinics — so the content needs energy and edge, but stays clear and credible. What you'll do Bring me ideas — pitch reel concepts, angles and hooks weekly (I don't want to start every video from a blank page) Spot trends & formats early and adapt them to my brand and niche Write hooks & short scripts / shot lists so my filming is fast and on-point Edit 3–4 Reels/week from my footage — sharp hooks, tight pacing, captions/kinetic typography, b-roll, sound design, transitions Build simple motion graphics to visualise AI features (chat bubbles, notifications, "AI qualifying a lead," etc.) Weave in AI-generated visuals where it lifts the content Keep a consistent brand look across everything and deliver ready-to-post 9:16 exports on time Help shape a light content plan so we're not winging it week to week You're a fit if you: Are a genuine ideas person — you live on IG/TikTok and instinctively know what will pop Live and breathe short-form and understand retention editing (pacing, pattern interrupts, watch-through) Have a real eye for what's "cool" and current — not templated Are fluent in AI creative tools and love experimenting Are proactive — you bring me things, I don't have to spell out every step Communicate clearly, take direction, and hit deadlines without chasing Portfolio required (short-form edits — founder/personal-brand or AI content especially welcome) Tools: CapCut / Premiere / After Effects / DaVinci AI tools — Runway, Higgsfield, Kling, Sora, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, etc. Bonus: AI avatars / voiceovers, thumbnail/cover design Nice to have Experience running short-form for a founder or personal brand Understanding of the local service-business / real estate space A track record of videos you've conceived and edited going well The details: Type: Ongoing freelance contract — starts with a paid test (one concept + edit), grows into a real ongoing partnership as we click Volume: 3–4 reels/week to start Where: 100% remote — output and creativity over hours
