Job Description

Title: Digital Storyteller and Content Creator

Pay: $45-$58 per hour DOE

Type: Fully Onsite

Duration: 12 months

Position Overview:

We’re looking for a multi-skilled, social-native Content Creator who is an expert on storytelling, culture, and creativity. You’ll join an in-house creative team to concept, shoot, edit, and design visually compelling content on corporate social channels and new, emerging platforms.

Along with being a creator of thumb-stopping content, you’ll be a key leader in informing and shaping best-in-class, culture-forward storytelling for the company. You should be able to take ideas from a brief or see a fast opportunity to join a cultural conversation, and independently execute your ideas at the speed of culture. We’ll look to you for social listening, trend spotting, untapped opportunities, and reporting back on impact to the business. This role is extremely hands-on, fast-paced, and built for someone who’s a social creator, editor, and designer—with a keen eye for culture.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create content optimized for social—everything from behind-the-scenes content to branded campaigns and series to lo-fi, platform-native moments.
  • Concept, storyboard and pitch ideas that align with cultural moments, events, brand campaigns, and company priorities. Work autonomously to bring those to life.
  • Shoot on-location, in-studio, or in-the-moment with an understanding of natural lighting, framing, and composition.
  • You will interview people across our iconic house of brands to craft authentic content centered on people, culture, and personal style. Must know how to build trusted relationships in fast interviews to pull the best stories on and off camera.
  • Edit video and photo content for Reels, TikTok, and other digital channels. Must have a strong understanding of how to optimize creative performance by channel.
  • Apply motion graphics, captions, transitions, and visual effects.
  • Turn high-quality edits quickly and independently when needed.
  • Design static and motion assets that feel native to each platform—social carousels, infographics, motion titles, etc.
  • Translate creative briefs into engaging visuals that feel on-brand, authentic, and culturally relevant.
  • Stay on top of platform trends, emerging creator styles, untapped opportunities, and audience behavior—bringing fresh ideas and formats to respond at the speed of social.
  • Test new tools and creative formats to optimize reach, engagement, and storytelling.

Qualifications:

  • 3–6 years of experience in social-first content creation, ideally for a culture-forward brand, agency, or media company.
  • Have a pulse on fashion, entertainment, and purpose-driven storytelling with a strong POV on developing creative content.
  • A deep understanding of the social media (and wider global cultural) landscape including optimizing creative for content performance.
  • Fluency in the differences between social media platforms, audiences, cultures and subcultures, and how to exist in each.
  • Skilled in photography, videography, editing, and motion or social design. Experienced with mobile content creation. You should have a strong portfolio of video content.
  • A deep passion for people-centered storytelling. Skilled at interviewing and creating comfort for talent on camera.
  • Proficient in tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom, Photoshop, and CapCut.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, balanced with the ability to work autonomously.
  • Fast, resourceful, collaborative.
  • Willing to travel and work off hours as needed for events and campaigns.
  • Bonus if you’ve worked on UGC-style campaigns or partnered with influencers.
