Short-Form Content Creator

About Lab54

Lab54 is a content-led events and production company driven by the motto:

[ Anywhere But A Club. ]

We specialise in creating high-impact experiences in unexpected locations, capturing moments and turning them into viral content.

With a combined global audience of over 425,000 across platforms, Lab54 sits at the intersection of party culture and lifestyle, bridging the gap between real-life and online.

We collaborate closely with brands, record labels, and artists to craft culturally relevant moments to our community and beyond.

Role Overview

The Short-Form Content Creator is a fast-paced, hands-on role at the heart of Lab54's output. You'll film, edit and publish short-form content daily — capturing the energy of our events and turning it into scroll-stopping clips for TikTok, Instagram and beyond.

This is a maker's role: you live and breathe short-form, you know instinctively what makes a video land, and you can turn raw footage into something people can't scroll past — fast, and at volume.

Responsibilities

Content Creation

Film, edit and publish engaging short-form content daily across TikTok and Instagram
Produce a high volume of content at pace — typically several pieces a day, ramping up around live events and peak moments
Turn raw event footage (iPhone, GoPro, photos and more) into high-energy, on-brand clips with fast turnaround

Trends & Platform

Identify and move quickly on trends, viral sounds and platform updates
Keep Lab54 at the front of culture, not chasing it
Monitor performance and use what's working to shape what you make next

Collaboration & Brand

Work with the wider content team to execute campaigns and content ideas
Keep content on-brand, and follow the right approval process for branded client work
Engage with the community — comments, replies and interaction

Skills & Experience

Essential

Proven ability to film and edit short-form content end-to-end, yourself
Strong instinct for what performs on TikTok and Instagram
Comfortable working at pace and at volume without losing quality
Proficiency in short-form editing tools (CapCut, Premiere Pro or similar)
A genuine feel for music and digital culture

Demonstrable Attributes

Self-starter who can shoot, cut and ship without hand-holding
Comfortable in a fast-moving, resource-limited environment
Adaptable, proactive, and quick to react to the moment
A portfolio of self-shot, self-edited content that speaks for itself

KPIs / Success Measures

Consistency and volume of high-quality output
Engagement and reach on the content you make
Ability to deliver standout moments (viral hits)
Speed from capture to published content

What Makes This Role Different (vs Larger Companies)

In the trenches daily — you're making content, not managing others who do
Fast decision making — spot a trend at 2pm, have it live by 4pm
Real ownership — your work is the face of the brand online
Resource constraints — success comes from instinct and hustle, not big budgets or crews

Ideal Profile

Lives and breathes short-form content and platform culture
Can turn messy real-world footage into high-energy edits, fast
Thrives in a startup-style, high-tempo environment
Understands both what's culturally relevant and what actually performs
Can work independently and own their output end-to-end
