Creative Executive (Thailand)
About the role:
We are looking for a Creative Executive to join our team at The Smart Local (Thailand). We are a bilingual channel with an international footprint, and we need a "maker"—someone who loves the process of creating content from a blank page to the final upload.
You won’t just be sitting at a desk writing scripts; you will be out in the field, managing shoots, editing short-form video, and supporting the team to ensure every piece of content hits our high aesthetic standards. If you are a video-first creative with an eye for design and a nose for trends, we want to hear from you.
What you will do:
- End-to-End Production: Full ownership of content projects from ideation and scripting through shoot coordination, filming, and final video editing — serving as both director and editor of each project.
- Short-Form Video Expertise: Creation of engaging, fast-paced vertical videos designed to capture attention instantly, with strong ability to translate trending concepts into TSL-style content.
- Collaborative & Cross-Functional: A flexible team player who supports fellow team members on shoots, assists with logistics, and collaborates closely with internal and external stakeholders to achieve client objectives.
- Trend Strategy: Deep awareness of social media trends, including emerging audio, editing styles, and popular formats, with the ability to apply them effectively to lifestyle content.
- Quality Assurance: Consistent delivery of high-quality content that meets company standards, with careful attention to pacing, storytelling, and visual presentation prior to publishing.
- On-camera Ability (Secondary): Individuals who are comfortable on camera and open to occasional on-screen participation are encouraged.
The successful candidate should have:
- Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in content creation, with a heavy focus on video editing and production.
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, Photoshop or other other editing tools)
- Basic graphic design skills (for thumbnails, social cards, or overlays) are a huge plus.
- Experience in Lifestyle, Travel, or Food content is highly preferred.
- Native or fluent Thai language
- Basic to conversational proficiency in English
- Understand the fast-paced nature of digital media.
- Organised, deadline-focused and can handle feedback without losing your creative spark.
To Apply (A portfolio required):
- Please attach a portfolio or links to your work demonstrating the following:
- Short-Form Video (Priority): TikToks or Reels you have edited/produced.
- Visuals: Examples of graphic design, photography, or aesthetic layouts.
- Copywriting: Examples of captions, scripts, or storyboards you have written.
