Job Summary

You know the feeling when you see a piece of content and think, “I could have made that better”? That is who we are looking to find.

We’re less interested in how many years of experience you have and more interested in how you think and what you can do. We want someone curious, hungry, creatively ambitious, and someone who knows the difference between content that performs and content that just exists.

Working in a small team, you’ll unleash your ideas, contribute to brainstorming sessions that spark new perspectives, and create compelling, thumb-stopping narratives across social platforms.

We want someone who is willing to take creative risks, challenge the expected, and push for ideas that feel fresh, punchy and distinctive.

What you’ll actually do:

• Concept and create scroll-stopping content across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and whatever platform matters next.
• Turn strategy into stand-out creative, from concepting, shooting, editing and copywriting to whatever else the idea needs.
• Bring your own point of view to brainstorms. We don’t want someone who nods along, we want your perspective on how to make the best content for our clients.
• Stay embarrassingly online. We’re talking HIGH screen times. Someone who is plugged into culture, monitors news moments and knows when to show up, or not to.
• Help build out diverse formats, series and creative territories that become synonymous with our clients.
• Work across a roster of a variety of brands who want to be bold on social.
• Push ideas beyond the obvious and be confident suggesting a bolder or more creative route when you think it will make the work better.

What you bring to the table:

• About 1+ year of experience creating content.
• Passion for organic social media with sharp instincts for what makes content work.
• Ability to come up with unique ideas. We’re not looking for someone who can follow a trend, we’re trying to find someone who will create the next one.
• Comfort with editing tools such as CapCut and Premiere, and working knowledge of design and copy fundamentals.
• A strong portfolio that shows us how you think, not just what you’ve created.
• The confidence to challenge a brief when you think you’ve got a better idea, and the collaborative spirit to build on someone else’s to make it the best it can be.
• A willingness to experiment, take creative risks and make work that people actually notice.

Bonus Points:

• Experience in an agency environment.
• Experience participating in new business pitches.
