Social Media Content Creator + Strategist + Implementor Wanted

I'm looking for a genuine social media specialist — not just someone who edits video, but someone who understands how to grow an audience across Instagram and YouTube (and to a lesser extent Facebook, TikTok), and who'll bring me ideas as well as executing requests. I run an Ayurveda and natural health education business. I'll supply raw video footage roughly 1-3 times a week, and I need someone who can turn it into polished, professional, scroll-stopping content — and tell me what's working, what isn't, and what we should try next. What you'll be doing • Editing raw video into short-form and long-form content for IG, FB, TikTok and YouTube • Using AI tools to animate and enhance videos so they look genuinely professional (not templated or gimmicky) • Writing titles, thumbnails, hashtags and descriptions optimised for reach and watch time on each platform • Proactively suggesting content ideas, formats and posting strategy based on what's performing — you're advising me, not just waiting for instructions • Turning around raw footage quickly — if I send something in the morning, I need a finished post within 24 hours • Producing roughly 1-3 posts per week, across multiple platforms • Sending a simple monthly report on views, follower growth and engagement, so we both know what's working • Keeping content consistent with our brand tone: warm, grounded, credible — no hype, no clickbait exaggeration • Jumping on a quick call (Zoom or phone) roughly every couple of weeks to check in and talk strategy Time zone requirement I'm based in Melbourne & Sydney, Australia. If you're located in India, the Philippines, or a similar time zone 3–5 hours behind Melbourne, you'll need to typically start your work day early (early morning or morning your time) so there's enough overlap for 1,2 or 3 correspondence points each day so we can turnaround videos from raw footage. Who I'm looking for • Strong video editing skills (CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar) • Confident using AI tools for video animation/enhancement (e.g. Runway, ElevenLabs, or equivalent) to lift production quality • Deep understanding of what drives growth on IG, YouTube specifically(TikTok/FB secondary) — not a one-size-fits-all approach • Comfortable with common communication/project tools (Email, WhatsApp) • Available and responsive during Melbourne morning-to-afternoon hours • Reliable long-term — I'm looking for an ongoing working relationship, not a short-term gig • Able to keep unreleased raw footage confidential until it's posted publicly • Has a plan for continuity if you're sick or on leave (a backup editor/person who can take over) Trial task The top 5 applicants will be paid to complete a short trial: editing one 60–90 second video from raw footage I'll supply & providing suggested Title, Description, hashtags etc, so I can see your actual work before we go further. TO APPLY, please include: 1. DILIGENT SOCIAL MEDIA POSTER in capital letters at the very top of your reply, so I know you've read this properly 2. Your experience — particularly any brands or accounts you've helped grow from a small audience to a large one (numbers/examples welcome) 3. A few samples of your recent work - SM videos produced 4. Your typical work hours, and confirmation you can deliver up to 3 posts per week across multiple platforms 5. A brief outline of content ideas/themes you'd suggest for the first 2–4 weeks, based on this brief 6. Your rate: i) hourly rate, or ii) costing per 90-second IG video and per 5–10 minute video (e.g. for YouTube) Looking forward to hearing from you.
