As well as condensing long form content into a post, you must be clued up about meme culture, on the ball to keep The Warwick Tab on trends, and be confident in front of the camera for video interviews.

Experience with Canva and other editing software is needed for this role for creating posts. 

You’ll be making posts like these:

TikTok Editor

Similarly to the Social Media Editor, our TikTok Editor must be up to date with online trends and Warwick Uni culture. You must also be skilled in various editing software to create our TikTok content, which involves recreating viral trends for our audience, making any long-form content into an eye-catching video and being confident in front of and behind the camera when conducting interviews for our platforms.
