About the Role

We’re looking for a creative, motivated Content Creator & Video Editor to help produce engaging social media content for Gorilla Energy, primarily across TikTok and Instagram.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who understands social media culture, knows what makes content entertaining, and has the creative instincts to develop videos that people actually want to watch and share.

You’ll work closely with our marketing team to brainstorm content ideas, shoot and edit short-form videos, and help bring Gorilla Energy’s brand personality to life.

From creating product-focused videos and participating in social media trends to capturing content at events, gyms, and brand activations, you’ll play a role in shaping how Gorilla Energy connects with consumers.

We’re looking for someone who is comfortable picking up a camera or phone, experimenting with creative ideas, and producing content that feels authentic rather than overly polished or corporate.

This is a great opportunity for a college student, recent graduate, or emerging creative looking to build their portfolio and gain real-world experience with a growing consumer brand.

Content Creation & Video Editing

• Create, shoot, and edit engaging short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Stories, and other social platforms.
• Develop creative content concepts that showcase Gorilla Energy’s products, personality, and lifestyle.
• Produce high-energy videos featuring product, fitness, action sports, MMA, street culture, and other relevant interests.

• Help develop content featuring Gorilla Energy athletes, influencers, and brand ambassadors.
• Edit event footage into engaging social media videos, recaps, and promotional content.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to identify creative opportunities around sponsorships, partnerships, and brand activations.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong interest in content creation, video editing, social media, and digital marketing.
• Experience creating and editing short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or similar platforms.
• Proficiency with CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar video editing software.
• Strong understanding of social media trends, viral content, and what makes videos engaging.
• Creative instincts and the ability to develop original, attention-grabbing content ideas.
• Basic knowledge of filming, lighting, composition, and video production.
• Understanding of social media culture, particularly among Gen Z and young millennial audiences.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects.
• Comfortable working independently and taking initiative.
• Willingness to experiment, learn, and adapt quickly.
• Interest in sports, fitness, music, street culture, or lifestyle brands.

Students and recent graduates are encouraged to apply. A strong portfolio and creative ability are more important than years of professional experience.
