REPORTING TO: SENIOR DIGITAL CONTENT MANAGER, EMEA LOCATION: DUBAI, UAEFREELANCER PROJECT: PART-TIME

THE PROJECT

Vita Coco is looking for a Dubai-based freelance content creator to produce locally relevant, social-first content for our Arabia Instagram and TikTok channels.

This is primarily a creative production project rather than a full social-media management role. We need someone who understands life in Dubai and the wider GCC and can turn local moments, trends, events and everyday product occasions into engaging content that feels native to Instagram and TikTok.

You would work with our EMEA digital team to develop ideas, capture content and deliver a consistent monthly bank of edited assets.

MONTHLY DELIVERABLES 

The exact package will be agreed with the selected creator, but we expect approximately:

12-16 pieces of social content per month

A mix of Reels/TikToks, photography and carousels

8–12 supporting Instagram Story tiles

English and Arabic captions or on-screen copy

Occasional event and activation coverage in Dubai

Edited final assets, plus selected raw footage where required

CONTENT COULD INCLUDE 

Dubai lifestyle and culturally relevant moments

Product-led Reels and TikToks

Day-in-the-life and POV content

Food, smoothies and everyday Vita Coco occasions

Fitness, running, wellness and active-lifestyle content

Street interviews and mini-mic formats

Event coverage and reactive content

Trend-led concepts adapted naturally for Vita Coco

Collaborations with relevant local communities and creators

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR 

Based in Dubai and available to capture content locally

A strong portfolio of Instagram Reels and TikTok content

Confident filming and editing social-first vertical video

Able to develop ideas, hooks and simple scripts independently

Strong understanding of current Instagram and TikTok formats

Comfortable appearing on camera when required

Fluent in English, with strong Arabic content capability highly preferred

Familiarity with Dubai and wider GCC culture and social trends

Reliable, organised and comfortable working to monthly deadlines

Experience creating content for food, drink, lifestyle, fitness or wellness brands is beneficial

WORKING PROCESS 

At the beginning of each month, we will agree the content themes, priority moments and required deliverables. The creator will then develop concepts, film and edit the agreed content, with feedback and approval provided by Vita Coco’s EMEA digital team.

This project does not require full ownership of community management, paid media, influencer contracting or wider channel strategy.
