Role: Creative Catalyst Lead
Company: Jiffy

Employment Type: Full time
About Jiffy
Jiffy is building an autonomous micro retail network across Hyderabad. We deploy smart, IoT-connected micro-pods that give people 24/7 access to snacks, drinks, and essentials with instant digital checkout and zero human friction.
We are completely bypassing corporate, boilerplate marketing. No generic product carousels. No boring discount graphics. No corporate jargon. We are building a distinct cultural universe through dark humour, cinematic suspense, absurdism, and unconventional storytelling that turns heads as we expand toward large-scale autonomous stores.
The Mandate
We are looking for our primary on-camera persona, director, and creative instigator who is a solo production powerhouse. You will have a full creative license to conceptualize, write, shoot, star in, and edit high-retention vertical video content that treats our retail network as an experiential canvas.
What You Will Do
- Own the Lens: Act as the recurring on-camera persona and narrative voice of Jiffy across Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and emerging digital channels.
- Script & Direct: Write sharp, witty, suspenseful, or deadpan scripts that break through standard social media fatigue without relying on hard sales pitches or boring corporate CTAs.
- End-to-End Production: Independently shoot and edit high-velocity short-form content using your smartphone or mirrorless setup, mastering sound design, pacing, and modern kinetic aesthetics.
- Guerrilla Activations: Brainstorm and execute unconventional, bizarre, or highly cinematic real-world stunts and micro-events around our network that leave onlookers intrigued, amused, or utterly confused.
- Creative Autonomy: Collaborate directly with our founding team to build long-term brand equity and anticipation for our upcoming cashierless store formats.
Who You Are
- A natural on-camera presence with effortless charismatic delivery, sharp comedic timing, and zero camera hesitation.
- An obsessive scripter who understands hooks, retention psychology, and visual pacing.
- A self-contained production unit: you can draft an idea in the morning, shoot it in the afternoon, and turn around a polished edit before dinner.
- Culturally tuned into Internet absurdism, indie cinema tropes, anti-humor, and high-production social storytelling.
- Located in or willing to relocate to Hyderabad, India.

3. The Hook: It must be engineered specifically to captivate Gen Z viewers. The first 3 seconds must feature an immediate visual or psychological hook that stops a scrolling feed dead in its tracks. Fast-paced, witty, self-aware, and entirely produced by you.
