Role Overview

Cymbiotika is seeking a highly creative, culturally tapped-in Short-Form Content Specialist to help shape the next evolution of our social presence.

This role sits at the intersection of content creation, storytelling, and social culture. We're looking for someone who lives and breathes short-form video, understands what makes people stop scrolling, and knows how to translate trends into content that feels distinctly Cymbiotika.

You'll be responsible for conceptualizing, filming, editing, and producing engaging short-form content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and emerging social platforms.

The ideal candidate is equal parts creative thinker and hands on creator. Someone with an instinct for what's next, a strong visual point of view, and the ability to turn a simple idea into compelling content.

• Create a mix of trend driven, educational, entertaining, lifestyle, and brand storytelling content.
• Capture compelling behind-the-scenes content at brand shoots, activations, events, and everyday office moments.
• Collaborate with the broader creative and social teams to translate brand campaigns, product launches, and cultural moments into platform native video content.
• Repurpose and reimagine existing creative assets for different platforms while maintaining a fresh, native feel.

Creative Ideation & Social Trends

• Stay deeply connected to emerging trends, viral formats, creators, sounds, and cultural conversations.
• Proactively pitch fresh, relevant content concepts that align with Cymbiotika's brand identity and audience.
• Identify opportunities for the brand to participate in cultural conversations in ways that feel authentic, clever, and intentional.
• Bring new creative formats, storytelling techniques, and editing styles to the team.
• Balance fast-moving, reactive content with evergreen storytelling and larger brand initiatives.

Platform Strategy & Performance

• Understand the nuances of TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, including how content consumption and audience behavior differ across platforms.
• Collaborate with the social team to develop and execute a consistent short form content pipeline.
• Monitor content performance, identify successful formats, and apply insights to future creative concepts.
• Experiment with new hooks, editing techniques, storytelling formats, and creative approaches to improve engagement, reach, and audience growth.
• Help establish repeatable, recognizable content series that build community and brand affinity.

Brand Collaboration

• Work closely with the Director of Creative & Social and the broader marketing team to ensure content aligns with Cymbiotika's creative vision.
• Collaborate with internal team members, creators, and brand partners to produce engaging social-first content.
• Support major brand moments, product launches, retail initiatives, and partnerships through original short-form storytelling.
• Maintain Cymbiotika's premium visual identity while bringing a fresh, culturally relevant perspective to social content.

Additional Duties: Perform other related duties, responsibilities, and special projects as assigned based on business needs and organizational priorities.

Onsite Collaboration:This role requires regular onsite presence to support in-person collaboration, effective communication, cross-functional teamwork, and coordination with internal teams and external partners to achieve business objectives.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience creating short-form video content for a brand, agency, media company, or as an independent creator.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who doesn't just follow trends but understands why they work.
