Content Creator (JB-based | Hybrid SG Travel | Public Sector & Institutional Content)
About Our Client
Our client is a Singapore-based communications and content agency specializing in institutional, education, and public sector communications.
Their work involves producing content for:
- Universities and education institutions
- Community and municipal initiatives
- Government-linked stakeholders
- Public engagement campaigns
Unlike lifestyle-focused agencies, the work is highly operational and event-driven. Many projects involve live coverage, on-ground interviewing, fast turnaround production, and structured stakeholder approval processes.
Because many community and public events take place outside regular office hours, the role requires genuine flexibility and comfort with evening/weekend work arrangements.
The team values:
- Strong creative instincts
- Reliability under pressure
- Independent execution
- Clear written English
- Operational adaptability
Role Overview
We are looking for a hands-on Content Creator who can independently manage the full production process:
Idea → Shoot → Edit → Publish
This role is ideal for candidates who:
- Enjoy being on the ground
- Prefer dynamic/event-based work
- Can think creatively under fast timelines
- Are comfortable speaking with strangers and stakeholders
- Can work independently without excessive supervision
This is NOT a desk-only content role.

Key Responsibilities
- Create content for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn
- Shoot and edit short-form videos using mobile devices and/or cameras

What We Prioritize During Screening
We prioritize:
- Strong portfolios over impressive resumes
- Creative judgment over formal credentials
- Clear communication over buzzwords
- Reliability and adaptability over polished interview answers
A strong personal TikTok/Instagram portfolio with thoughtful editing and storytelling may be valued more highly than weak commercial work.
Candidates should be able to clearly explain:
- Why they framed shots a certain way
- Why they edited scenes in specific sequences
- Why captions were written differently for different audiences
Surface-level creative explanations may be considered a weak signal.
