Zypher Trading Video Games
Lehi / Utah County, UT

Zypher Trading Video Games is an online video game and collectibles retailer focused on professionally refurbished video games, trading cards, and gaming nostalgia. We have grown heavily over the last few years and are continuing to build Zypher into a larger media-driven brand.

We are looking for someone creative, reliable, and comfortable being part of the content process as we grow Zypher Media, our social media and video content side of the business.

This role is perfect for someone who loves video games, social media, content creation, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and gaming culture.

About the Role
We are looking for a Social Media Content Creator to help create weekly video content for Zypher Media.

The main focus will be short-form videos, gameplay content, gaming nostalgia, skits, behind-the-scenes content, and personality-driven videos that help grow the Zypher brand.

This role will start at around 15–25 hours per week. Once we reach the point where streaming becomes part of the weekly content plan, hours and responsibilities may adjust.

The goal right now is not perfection. The goal is consistency, personality, creativity, and building a repeatable content system that improves every week.

Weekly Content Goals

10 Shorts created per week

7 Shorts posted per week

2 long-form gameplay videos recorded per week

We will create more Shorts than we post so we can build a backlog/content catalog over time. That way, if something unexpected comes up, schedules get busy, or someone needs time off, Zypher Media still has content ready to go.

Short-Form Content
Shorts will usually be between 10–60 seconds long.

For each Short, the full process may include:

Brainstorming the idea

Recording the clip

Editing the clip

Adding text or titles when needed

Final review and export/upload

The goal is for Shorts to be quick, fun, engaging, and not overcomplicated. We want someone who can help test ideas, learn what performs, and improve content over time.

Short-form content may include:

Gaming nostalgia

Funny skits

Behind-the-scenes Zypher content

Video game facts

Retro gaming moments

Product/inventory highlights

Relatable gamer content

YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels

Long-Form Gameplay Content
We will also record 2 long-form gameplay videos per week.

For the time being, most of the long-form videos will be gameplay recordings. Each gameplay recording will be around 60 minutes long.

The person playing will be recorded on camera, with audio commentary throughout the gameplay. The goal is for the content to feel natural, entertaining, and personality-driven.

Editing for gameplay videos should be simple. These are not meant to become massive editing projects. The main edits would include cutting out dull parts, long pauses, or moments where nothing interesting is happening.

Responsibilities

Create and help plan weekly short-form video ideas

Record short-form social media videos

Edit Shorts for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook

Help record long-form gameplay videos

Assist with titles, captions, thumbnails, and descriptions

Review content performance and help improve future videos

Participate in brainstorming and weekly content planning

Help keep content organized and scheduled

Bring creative ideas to the table

Be comfortable appearing on camera when needed

Schedule / Office Hours
Office and recording hours are Monday–Friday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

The goal is to have at least 2 in-office days per week, based on what works best within that office schedule.

On in-office days, we will try to get as much done as possible, including:

Recording Shorts

Recording gameplay videos

Filming skits or behind-the-scenes content

Brainstorming ideas

Planning upcoming content

Editing videos

Reviewing finished content

Working on titles, captions, thumbnails, and descriptions

Looking over what is performing well and what needs to be adjusted

All work for this role will be done in-office.

What We’re Looking For
Someone who is creative, dependable, and genuinely interested in content creation. You do not need to be a massive expert, but you do need to care about making good content and improving over time.

Ideal traits:

Comfortable on camera

Interest in video games and gaming culture

Good sense of humor

Understands TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or similar platforms

Can edit short-form videos

Reliable and self‑motivated

Able to take feedback without taking it personally

Good with creative brainstorming

Able to work independently and stay organized

Willing to test ideas and improve based on performance

Bonus points if you have experience with:

YouTube Shorts

TikTok

Instagram Reels

Camtasia, CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or similar editing software

Gaming content

Streaming

OBS

Thumbnail creation

Social media analytics

Pay
Pay will depend on experience, skill level, and overall fit.

Why This Role Could Be Cool
This is a chance to help build the media side of a fast‑growing gaming and collectibles company from the ground up.

You will not just be posting random corporate content. You will be helping create a real gaming/media brand with personality, humor, nostalgia, and room to grow.

As Zypher Media grows, the role can grow with it.
