Hiring: Content Creators (TikTok/Reels/YShorts) in Uganda

About the Role

At WE GROW BITS – SMC LTD we help brands get attention, engagement, and sales. We work with businesses across industries to grow their visibility online. We’re always bringing on content creators who understand short-form video, get internet culture and know how to make people stop scrolling.

Each content creator (if hired) will be placed under one or more brands we manage, creating original content that matches the brand’s tone, aesthetic, and goals.

Note: This is not an influencer role. You’ll be creating content that will be posted on the brand’s social media pages, not your own. Your job is to make content that performs not to build your personal audience.

Who We’re Looking For:

We’re looking for several skilled Content Creators who eat trends for breakfast and know how to craft a hook that hits in under 3 seconds. You should be the kind of person who can turn a random product, story, or behind-the-scenes moment into something binge-worthy consistently.

If selected, you’ll be placed under one or more of the brands we manage, working directly on their TikTok and Instagram content. Whether it’s a fashion brand, a tech store, or a lifestyle label, your job is to create content that feels native, trend-aware, and built to stop the scroll.

Your Role

• Create TikToks and Reels that follow the viral video framework (Hook → Value → Payoff)
• Script, shoot, and edit 15–90 second videos using tools like CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or any editor you prefer
• Show up confidently on camera when needed — some brands will want a face, others won’t
• Follow brand tone, style, and storytelling while making content engaging and fresh
• Stay on top of viral trends, audios, and formats — and know how to remix them
• Work closely with our team and the assigned brand(s) to test, improve, and scale what works
• Optimize content for watch time, relatability, shareability, and repeatability

You should be:

• A master of hooks – you know how to stop the scroll in 5 seconds or less
• Familiar with or have studied the Viral Video Framework (Hook → Value → Payoff)
• Comfortable and confident appearing on camera when needed
• Skilled at storytelling and scripting short-form videos
• Fluent in editing tools like CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, etc.
• Obsessively curious about what makes people watch, engage, and share

Bonus Points

• You’ve made videos that hit 10K+ views organically
• You’ve built or helped manage a TikTok or IG Reels page
• You’re plugged into Ugandan culture and what’s trending locally
• You’ve taken content courses like One Peak, and actually applied what you learned

What you get:

• Consistent content work under one or more growing brands
• A collaborative environment that values experimentation and originality
• Brand guidelines and creative clarity to support your content
• Monthly contract with competitive pay (rate discussed based on experience)

How to Apply

Send us:

• A 30–60 second TikTok/Reel/YShort of yourself using the viral video framework (Hook → Value → Payoff) — about a viral video you liked or anything you care about. Show us you understand what makes people stop scrolling

• 2–3 links to Reels, TikToks, or Shorts you’ve created that follow the viral format (optional, but appreciated)

• Your Instagram or TikTok handle

• A short message answering: What do you think makes a video go viral on TikTok, Reels, or Shorts — from a creator’s perspective?
