About the Role

The candidate will be responsible for planning, shooting, editing and producing high-quality, engaging and conversion-focused video content for Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram), Reels, Stories and other digital marketing platforms.

Key Responsibilities

- Convert long-form footage into multiple short-form advertising creatives.
- Work closely with the Digital Marketing team to understand campaign objectives and target audiences.
- Create creatives for different stages of the marketing funnel — awareness, engagement, lead generation and retargeting.
- Adapt videos into different formats including 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5.
- Ensure videos meet Meta advertising specifications and maintain professional visual quality.
- Incorporate brand guidelines, disclaimers, offers, CTAs and required compliance messaging.
- Analyse creative performance and use campaign insights to improve future videos.
- Maintain an organized library of raw footage, project files, music, graphics and final creatives.
- Stay updated with current Instagram, Facebook, Reels and short-form video trends.
- Work on multiple campaigns and creatives simultaneously while meeting deadlines.
Video Shooting & Production

- Participate in pre-production planning, including concepts, scripts, shot lists and creative requirements.
- Ensure appropriate framing, lighting, camera angles and composition during shoots.
- Guide the cameraman on shots required for different advertising concepts.
- Review raw footage and identify the best clips for editing.
- Produce both planned advertising content and quick-turnaround social media content.
- Assist in developing new video concepts based on current advertising trends and campaign performance.
Required Skills
- Strong knowledge of Adobe Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve.
