Music Social Media Manager and Short Form Video Editor

**Overview** We are seeking a highly capable Music Social Media Manager and Short\-Form Video Editor to help manage and grow the digital presence of an independent Christian hip\-hop artist. This is not an entry\-level posting position and it is not a basic virtual assistant role. We are looking for someone who understands how modern artists grow online and can combine strong creative instincts with organization, analytics, content strategy, editing, and day\-to\-day social media management.

You should be equally comfortable editing a high\-retention Reel, reviewing analytics, building a content calendar, organizing hundreds of content assets, researching trends, and identifying exactly what the artist should film next.

The right person should be able to take a large existing library of performances, music videos, studio footage, interviews, lifestyle content, gaming content, behind\-the\-scenes footage, long\-form videos, and unreleased material and consistently transform it into strategic social media content. We are specifically looking for someone who can bring structure, systems, creative direction, and measurable improvement to the artist's content operation.
