The Realest sits at the intersection of sports, music, and entertainment—building the authentication standard and infrastructure that helps the world’s largest rights-holders protect, own, and monetize physical IP in a rapidly expanding global collectibles market. We don’t just sell products. We build trust and systems that turn iconic moments into collectibles fans can actually believe in.

We operate on-site at the biggest events in the world, working directly with iconic teams, leagues, artists, and organizations. From record-setting, museum-grade artifacts to scalable manufactured drops, we bring together storytelling, culture, and operational excellence to capture moments that matter—often at the source.

This is an hourly part-time, contract role based in Los Angeles — 3 days a week in our office — with real potential to grow into a full-time position as the team scales.

If you live for moments that matter and want to help set the standard for trust in collectibles, we’d love to meet you.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Short-Form Social Video Content Creator who lives on social — someone who instinctively knows what makes people stop scrolling and can execute on it fast. This isn't a polish-everything, deck-first creative role. It's hands-on and high-volume: you'll shoot, edit, and publish content from live events, in-office shoots, archival footage, and athlete and artist access.

You'll own the edit. You'll bring the point of view. And you'll help The Realest show up consistently across Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts in a way that feels native — never overproduced, always earned.

Requirements

• Shoot and edit short-form content for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts — daily volume, platform-native output
• Turn footage from live events, authenticators, and in-office shoots into engaging social edits, fast
• Work with archival material, interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments to find the story in the footage
• Bring your own creative POV to concepting — lightweight ideas around product drops, culture moments, and real access
• Film with our CEO and team (they're comfortable and experienced on camera — you'll feel it)
• Comfortable applying motion graphics and animated templates in video editor (like CapCut) to enhance video content
• Help manage publishing and posting cadence across platforms
• Receive footage shot remotely by partners or team members on-site and shape it into finished content — independently, in a style that works for social
• Post-production and editing of field footage will make up the majority of responsibilities initially, with limited on-camera shooting expected
  

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Sharp instincts for what's native on social — you notice how content is edited while you're scrolling
• Fluent in Premiere Pro, CapCut, or equivalent — you pick the right tool and move fast
• Comfortable shooting on iPhone or lightweight camera setups
• Can shape raw footage into something compelling without heavy direction or over-engineering it
• Organized and reliable — you hit deadlines, communicate clearly, and make the team's life easier
• Genuinely interested in sports, music, or collectible culture (expertise not required — curiosity is)
• You understand pacing, captions, and visual rhythm — and you know how they differ across platforms
• Monitor performance across platforms and apply insights to sharpen future content — always optimizing for what actually resonates
• Collaborative and receptive to feedback without losing your voice

BONUS IF YOU

• Actively follow sports, hip-hop, sneakers, or memorabilia culture
• Have a portfolio that shows range — branded content, editorial, lo-fi social — not just one mode
• Have experience creating content around live events or talent access
• Know how to move fast and stay consistent without letting volume kill quality
• You use AI tools to move faster

How to Apply

Send links to social videos you've shot or edited — Reels, TikTok, or Shorts preferred. Include at least 3 short-form edits. We want to see how you think, not just how you execute! Please send to: join@therealest.com.
