Content Director

Content Director – Social Media & Personal Branding

PickleMonk Media | Chennai | Full-time

We're looking for a Content Director who can think, write and direct short-form videos — and has a proven track record of creating 1M+ organic-view content.

You'll create social videos for brands, founders, doctors, CEOs, experts, owners and models.

This is not a typical social media manager or content writer role.

You will take a video from:

IDEA → HOOK → SCRIPT → DIRECTION → FINAL REEL

What you'll do

• Conceptualise high-performing Reels and Shorts for brands
• Write hooks, scripts, dialogues and talking points
• Direct people on camera — founders, doctors, experts, owners, models and presenters
• Create personal-branding and brand social-media content
• Identify trends, formats and storytelling angles worth adapting
• Direct shoots and guide on-camera performance
• Work with videographers and editors to bring concepts to life
• Analyse content performance and improve future ideas
• Build repeatable content formats that can scale across clients

You MUST have

• Proven experience creating 1M+ organic-view content
• Experience creating content for brands/clients
• Strong scripting and storytelling skills
• Strong understanding of hooks, retention and shareability
• Experience with Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts
• Ability to direct non-actors and get natural performances on camera
• Ability to turn ideas or complex subjects into engaging short-form videos
• A portfolio with actual performance numbers

PROOF MATTERS

When you apply, send us 3–5 videos you've worked on.

For each video, mention:

• Link
• Views
• Brand/client
• Your exact role — Writer / Director / Both
• What you did
• Why you think it worked

We are not hiring based on follower count, certificates or generic social media experience.

Show us what you've made — and show us the numbers.

Compensation

25,000 – 35,000/month

Higher compensation can be considered for candidates with an exceptional, verifiable track record.
