Job Description

Our creative agency is servicing a leading automotive brand and the role we're hiring is a Content Creator / Social Media Executive based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor to produce trend-led, short-form social videos, manage the content pipeline, brief designers and editors, coordinate deliverables, and cover brand events to grow brand awareness across TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook and YouTube Shorts.

Job Requirements

Responsibilities:

• Ideate, shoot and edit short-form, social-native videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook and YouTube Shorts.
• Turn content around fast: shoot and edit within the same day when the moment calls for it.
• Cover brand events, launches, test drives and roadshows in real time through Stories and on-the-ground content.
• Stay on top of trends, sounds and formats daily, and know which ones fit the brand and which to skip.
• Track what’s working (views, retention, watch time, follower growth) and use it to sharpen the next round of content.
• Plan and manage the content calendar on non-shoot days.
• Write clear, concise briefs for designers and video editors, then review drafts and give actionable feedback.
• Coordinate timelines across the team so deliverables land on time and on brief.
• Work closely with the account team to keep content aligned with client objectives and approvals.

What we're looking for:

• You create trends: You live, breathe, eat social trends and are always up-to-date to what's trending (not just in terms of edits but in mainstream news, topics, issues, etc.)
• Insight-driven: able to explain why a video is trending and justify whether to follow it; comfortable using data to back calls.
• Ownership-minded: independent, keeps team updated without being asked.
• Fast, not sloppy: can deliver same-day without the work looking rushed.
• Composed under pressure: handles live events, last-minute changes and tight deadlines.
• A clear communicator: briefs are so clear designers and editors rarely need to come back with questions.

Required qualifications:

• 3 to 5 years of experience in social media content creation.
• Marketing or creative agency experience.
• A portfolio of short-form videos personally shot and edited, with results to show for it.
• Proven ability to shoot and edit within the same day.
• Proficiency in mobile and desktop editing tools (e.g. CapCut, Premiere Pro or similar).
• Experience briefing and coordinating with designers, editors or other creatives.
• Availability to cover brand events, including some weekends and public holidays (replacement leave provided).

Nice to have:

• Experience creating content for automotive or EV brands.
• Comfort appearing on camera.
• Fluency in English and Bahasa Malaysia; Mandarin is a plus.
• Basic design skills (Canva, Photoshop or similar).
• A valid driving licence and own transport.
