Video Content Creator

Superside is looking for a Cape Town based Video Content Creator who is a content creator at heart, comfortable in front of camera, constantly watching ads, and genuinely excited by the challenge of making paid social videos that people want to stop and watch. This is NOT a traditional video editor role – we need a hands-on creator who can help find the idea, shape the hook, appear on camera, storyboard the concept, support the shoot, and edit the final piece into something that feels sharp and native to the feed.
