Contract

Our retail client is looking for a trend-savvy, strategically-minded Social Media Content Creator to join their in-house creative team. This isn't just a "posting" role – they need a hybrid powerhouse who can concept, shoot, and edit high-energy Reels, TikToks, and Stories that stop the scroll and drive traffic to stores. As part of the internal agency, you'll be the bridge between high-level brand strategy and the fast-paced world of social trends. You know the difference between a TikTok aesthetic and an Instagram vibe, you understand why an algorithm favors one transition over another, and you have the technical design skills to make it all look premium.

Key Responsibilities

  • Concept & Create: Turn weekly briefs into breakthrough social content (Reels, TikToks, Stories, Carousels) for both organic and paid markets.
  • On-Site Shooting: Head into stores to capture raw, authentic photo and video content that showcases our latest finds.
  • Edit for Engagement: Use everything from the Adobe Creative Suite to mobile-first tools like CapCut to deliver polished, platform-native content.
  • Stay Ahead of the Curve: Actively monitor trends and sounds, identifying opportunities for the brand to jump in authentically and "in the moment."
  • Collaborate: Work alongside writers, designers, and project managers to ensure every frame aligns with our brand guidelines while pushing creative boundaries.

Required Qualifications

  • The Experience: 8+ years in design with at least 3 years focused specifically on social media content creation and video editing.
  • The Technical Kit: Expert proficiency in Photoshop and Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects. You are also a pro at mobile editing apps like CapCut or Splice.
  • The Eye: A BA in Design, Photography, or Media, and a portfolio that proves it. You have a deep understanding of typography, layout, and visual storytelling.
  • The "Social" Instinct: You live on IG and TikTok. You understand how algorithms work and how to create content that feels native to the platform, not like a traditional "ad."

Benefits & Perks

  • Benefits: Comprehensive benefits package including medical, prescription, dental, vision, AD&D, life insurance, short-term disability, and a 401K plan (all based on eligibility).
