Social Media Specialist Video Editor - 1277 - Cape Town, South Africa

About the client: Our client is a law firm specializing in family law matters. They focus on building brand authority and providing social proof to potential clients through high-quality digital content. The firm currently has 16 employees in the office and is looking to expand its virtual team to support growth and revenue-driving initiatives. About the role: We are seeking a creative, highly organized Social Media Specialist & Video Editor to lead our client's digital presence. This role is essential for a "big picture" founder who needs a proactive partner to manage content strategy, execute high-end video editing, and maintain a consistent social media calendar. The ideal candidate is not just "hands" for execution but a "brain" capable of suggesting ideas and using modern tools like AI to enhance the firm's authority. What you’ll be doing: Video Production: Editing long-form videos (10–30 minutes) for YouTube and the website with high production value (jump cuts, transitions, keyframing). Content Repurposing: Splicing long-form content into shorter reels, TikToks, and social posts to maximize reach. Social Media Management: Creating, getting approval for, and scheduling a monthly content calendar. Brand Authority: Ensuring all content reflects a professional, authoritative voice suitable for family law — prioritizing social proof over "viral" or "silly" trends. AI Integration: Experimenting with AI tools and avatars to improve onboarding and training processes. Organization: Manage and track ideas, notes, and inputs from the founder to ensure the timely execution of creative concepts. Who are we looking for? 2+ years of experience as a Video Editor and Social Media Specialist. Proven experience in video editing (Premiere Pro or similar) and social media management. Strong understanding of content strategy (how to turn one video into many assets). Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple creative projects independently. Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
