Junior Viral Content Researcher

(TikTok / Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts)

We're looking for someone who lives on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

You don't need a marketing degree. You don't need agency experience. You don't need years of experience.

What matters is whether you understand internet culture, spot trends early, and can identify why certain content spreads while other content gets ignored.

This role is perfect for someone who spends hours exploring content, saving videos, discovering creators, and constantly asking:

"Why did this get 10 million views?"

What You'll Do

• Discover viral content formats, trends, and creative concepts every day
• Research TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Reddit, X, and other creator platforms
• Collect and organize examples of high-performing content
• Analyze why specific videos perform well
• Suggest new content ideas and creative experiments
• Help identify creators and influencers for potential collaborations
• Track emerging AI, creator, and internet culture trends
• Support the team with content research and creative inspiration
• Help build a library of viral formats that can be adapted for our brand

• Formal education
• Agency experience
• Corporate experience
• Years of experience

• You spend a lot of time on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
• You notice trends before your friends do
• You can explain why content becomes viral
• You have strong internet culture awareness
• You love memes, creators, and online communities

• You're excited about AI and new technologies
• You can generate lots of ideas quickly

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience editing videos
• Experience creating memes or social content
• Experience managing social media accounts
• Experience using AI tools
• Experience working with creators or influencers

• Work directly with the founders
