Video Content Creator (Organic Social) - RiseGuide
RiseGuide is an expert-powered self-improvement app for those who want to become the best version of themselves.
We are building a microlearning product based on the insights and principles of outstanding role models. Our users develop charisma using the examples of Michelle Obama and Steve Jobs, upgrade cognitive skills through the frameworks of Jim Kwik and Barbara Oakley, and acquire good habits following the rules of Kobe Bryant and Mel Robbins.
Facts, not hype, about RiseGuide:
- Grown 5x in the last year and continuing to scale actively;
- 15 minutes – the average time our users spend in the app, with ratings of 4.6 on the App Store and 4.4 on Trustpilot;
- 90+ people in the team – alumni of the world's leading management programs and top product companies;
- Top-2 in revenue among all SKELAR businesses, even though we are only 2 years old;
- Two offices (Warsaw and Kyiv) + a team working from all over the world.
Our goal is to redefine self-improvement and create a “smart scrolling” experience. Imagine that all the most outstanding specialists, leaders, and researchers gathered in one place that you can carry in your pocket.
We are launching the Social Media direction and building RiseGuide's own channels — YouTube, TikTok, Instagram. Our format is video essays and narrative breakdowns: stories about people, ideas, and principles that hold attention from the first second to the last.
Important right away: this is organic, owned brand channels. These are not performance creatives, not UA videos for ad accounts, and not product promos. If your thrill is finding a strong story and editing it so that a person watches until the end, we are on the same page.
We are looking for a person who takes an idea and brings it to a published video: structure → script logic → footage selection → editing → sound → graphics.
Your future challenges:
- Develop and edit video essays and narrative Shorts/Reels (60 seconds – 3 minutes) for RiseGuide's own channels;
- Work with story structure: together with the Social Media team, bring a raw idea to script logic — where is the hook, where is the tension, where is the insight;
- Select footage, archival materials, b-roll, and stock for a specific scene, rather than just "to have something";
- Work with sound and music as a dramaturgical tool: pacing, pauses, sound design;
- Create graphics and captions that reinforce the thought, rather than just decorating the frame;
- Form a recognizable visual and editing language for RiseGuide in Social Media;
- Look at the retention curve of your videos, understand where the viewer drops off, and fix it in the next one.
What is required for this:
- Experience in editing narrative video for organic channels — video essays, breakdowns, documentary formats, long Shorts. Not advertising creatives;
- Proficient use of editing software — Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve;
- After Effects — a basic tool in this role. Captions, kinetic typography, graphic inserts, simple animations — you must be able to do this independently, without a separate motion designer;
- A sense of narrative: how to hold attention for 60–180 seconds without clickbait, how to build a story arc, how pacing, editing rhythm, and pauses work;
- Understanding of organic metrics: retention curve, average view duration, saves, shares, follows — and how an editing decision affects them;
- Experience using AI tools to speed up routine (transcription, roll match, sound isolation, footage generation);
- English Upper-Intermediate+ — we create content in English;
- Ability to take responsibility for the result, make independent decisions, and argue your position;
- Strong communication skills, openness to feedback, and the ability to work in a cross-functional team.
It will be a plus:
- Your own channel or experience managing someone else's channel with organic growth;
- Adobe Photoshop / Illustrator / Figma for adapting graphic assets;
- Experience in self-improvement, edutainment, business, or pop-culture content niches.
At RiseGuide, we believe that every star has its own trajectory. That is why we have created an environment where this trajectory only goes up, both for our users and for the team.
