Video Content Creator

Part-time – Elgin Furniture – Cleveland, Ohio

This is a part-time, on-site position offering 10–15 hours per week at $18 per hour. Work is performed in our showroom with scheduling flexibility around your class schedule. This role is open to college students — no prior agency or professional experience required, but hands-on CapCut experience is a must.

About the Role

We’re a local furniture store in Cleveland and we’re looking for a talented, creative college student who knows how to tell a story through video. You’ll come into our showroom, help us shoot footage of our furniture and room setups, and edit it into polished, eye-catching videos for our Facebook and Instagram pages. If you live on CapCut, have a great eye for what looks good on social media, and want to build a real portfolio shooting professional content, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Come on-site to our Cleveland showroom to shoot video content of furniture, room setups, and store highlights
• Plan and capture footage that translates well to Facebook and Instagram Reels and short-form video
• Edit all footage using CapCut to produce polished, engaging, ready-to-post videos
• Apply on-trend editing techniques — transitions, text overlays, music, pacing — to make content stand out in a feed
• Deliver finished videos in formats optimized for Facebook and Instagram
• Collaborate with us on creative direction to make sure videos reflect the Elgin Furniture brand
• Train us on what you’re doing — we want to learn alongside you and understand the basics ourselves

What We’re Looking For

• Hands-on experience with CapCut — this is the primary editing tool for this role
• A strong eye for visual storytelling, composition, and what performs well on social media
• Comfortable shooting video on a smartphone in a real retail environment
• Familiarity with Facebook and Instagram Reels and what makes short-form video content engaging
• Currently enrolled in college, ideally studying Film, Media, Marketing, Communications, or a related field
• Self-motivated and able to work independently once given direction
• A portfolio or examples of CapCut-edited videos you’ve created — personal content is fine

What’s In It For You

You’ll build a real portfolio of professional video content shot in an actual retail environment — the kind of work that gets noticed by future employers. You’ll have creative freedom to bring your editing style to the project, a flexible schedule built around your classes, and a supportive team that genuinely appreciates what you create.

How to Apply

Send us an email with a brief intro about yourself, your résumé or LinkedIn, and links to CapCut videos you’ve edited (your own social pages or a portfolio are both great). We want to see your editing style before anything else.
