About DataMavericks

DataMavericks is an educational content brand focused primarily on Data Analytics, Data Science, SQL, Power BI, Python, career guidance and technology.

We already have an existing audience interested primarily in analytics-related content.

We are now looking to significantly improve the quality and consistency of our Instagram presence by introducing high-quality talking-head Reels, while continuing to publish valuable educational carousels.

Over time, we will also gradually introduce AI and GenAI content relevant to Data Analysts and Data professionals.

We are looking for someone who can work with us long-term and take ownership of the day-to-day execution and growth of our Instagram page.

Monthly Deliverables

You will be responsible for approximately:

6 Premium Instagram Reels / Month

We will provide:

- Professionally recorded studio-quality talking-head footage
- Clean audio/voice
- Core topic/content direction
- Technical guidance where required

You will be responsible for converting the raw footage into high-quality, engaging 30–60 second Instagram Reels.

The Reels should include, wherever appropriate:

- Strong first 2–3 second visual hooks
- Retention-focused pacing
- Professional animated captions
- Kinetic typography
- Motion graphics
- Animated charts and graphs
- Animated tables
- SQL/code visualizations
- Power BI/Excel/Python-style UI elements
- Relevant screenshots
- Relevant B-roll
- Icons and graphical elements
- Pattern interrupts
- Punch-ins/zoom effects where appropriate
- Sound design
- Background music
- Colour correction/grading
- Clean transitions
- CTA animations
- Professional Reel covers

We are NOT looking for basic editing consisting only of subtitles, jump cuts and stock footage.

The editor should be able to visually explain technical concepts.

For example, if the speaker explains a SQL JOIN, we would prefer to see two tables visually joining together rather than generic laptop B-roll.

The objective is to create Reels that improve:

Watch Time → Retention → Saves → Shares → Profile Visits → Followers

10 Educational Carousels / Month

You will also create approximately 10 high-quality Instagram carousels every month.

Topics will initially focus heavily on:

- Data Analytics
- SQL
- Power BI
- Excel
- Python
- Data Visualization
- Analytics Careers
- Data Science
- Interview preparation
- Analytics tools

We will gradually introduce topics such as:

- AI for Data Analysts
- GenAI
- AI productivity tools
- LLMs
- AI Agents
- Practical AI applications for Data professionals

Carousels should include:

- Strong first-slide hooks
- Clean and modern designs
- Consistent DataMavericks branding
- Easy-to-understand explanations
- Charts/diagrams where appropriate
- Code snippets where relevant
- Strong information hierarchy
- Save/share-worthy educational value
- CTA on the final slide

We don't want generic Canva-template-looking posts.

We want to gradually build a recognizable DataMavericks visual identity.

This role is not limited to editing.

You will also help manage @datamavericks, including:

- Scheduling and publishing posts

- Responding to relevant comments

- Posting Stories when required
- Monitoring relevant trends
- Researching competitors
- Identifying trending content formats

You should be proactive rather than waiting for us to provide every single instruction.

- Reel views/reach
- Average watch time
- Audience retention
- Reel completion rate
- Saves
- Shares

Based on the results, you should recommend:

What worked → What didn't → What we should repeat → What we should test next

Then answer these questions:

1. Where are you based in India?
2. How many years of experience do you have?
3. Share links to your 3 best Instagram Reels/talking-head edits.

Selection Process

We will shortlist candidates based on their portfolio and responses.

Final shortlisted candidates may receive the same DataMavericks raw talking-head footage for a small paid test assignment.

You will be asked to turn it into a high-quality educational Reel.

We will evaluate:

- First 2–3 second hook
- Storytelling
- Audience retention
- Pacing
- Motion graphics
- Technical visualization
- Caption design
- Sound design
- Overall visual quality
- Creativity

We are looking for someone who can build a long-term content system with us — not simply someone who can edit videos.

The style we're looking for

Premium + Educational + Modern + Clean + High Retention

Not:

Over-edited + Random Effects + Generic B-roll + Excessive Transitions + Template-looking Content

Our goal is for viewers to eventually recognize a DataMavericks Reel or carousel before they even see the username.
