About the Role & Team  

We are looking for a creative, agile, and trend-obsessed Social Media Content Creator based in Portugal to bring our global brand to life across local digital channels. 

This role is 100% focused on end-to-end content production—from ideation and scripting to capturing, editing, and optimizing native content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit. If you live and breathe short-form video, know what makes content go viral in Portugal, and can turn brand stories into engaging mobile-first content, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • End-to-End Content Production: Concept, shoot, and edit high-quality, native short-form videos (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts) and visual assets tailored specifically to the Portuguese audience.
  • Agile & Reactive Content Creation: Stay ahead of local social media trends, viral audio, formats, and memes in Portugal to rapidly produce timely, reactive brand content.
  • Brand Localization & Visual Storytelling: Adapt global creative guidelines into authentic, culturally relevant local content while maintaining brand consistency and tone of voice.
  • Platform-Native Optimization: Tailor content assets specifically for each platform’s unique formats, features, and specs (e.g., TikTok trends, Instagram carousel design, YouTube Shorts pacing, Reddit-friendly visuals/copy).
  • Creative Collaboration: Partner closely with the Madrid Regional Hub and local strategists to translate campaign briefs into monthly content calendars and campaign executions.
  • Asset & Footage Management: Organize and manage raw media, brand templates, visual assets, and content libraries for seamless distribution across platforms.

Role Requirements  

  • Proven experience as a Social Media Manager, Community Manager, Video Editor, or Content Creator for brands or influencers; 
  • Deep, native understanding of TikTok, Instagram (Reels), YouTube (Shorts), Facebook, and Reddit; 
  • Social Storytelling skills with the ability to script, film, and edit short-form vertical videos built around retention, strong hooks, and trend integration  
  • Proficiency in video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or mobile-first tools like CapCut  
  • Adaptability and speed, with comfort in fast-moving content cycles, quick iterations, and testing new ideas on the fly to drive relevance  
  • Native-level Portuguese speaker with strong written and spoken skills, alongside professional fluency in English or Spanish 

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office an average of four days a week.
