• Experience filming and editing short-form video content on mobile.
• Proficiency with mobile editing apps (e.g., CapCut, InShot, Adobe Rush) and basic desktop editing (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro).
• Strong understanding of social media platforms (especially Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Facebook Reels) and trending formats.
• Ability to work quickly and efficiently under tight deadlines.
• Comfortable being both behind the camera and occasionally in front of it if needed.
• Prior knowledge of FFA or agriculture is a plus but not required.
