A Senior ,
Content Creation is a hands‑on creative responsible for developing and producing engaging, social‑first content from start to finish. This role combines creative concepting, art direction, production, and technical execution to bring ideas to life across social platforms. A successful Content Creator is equal parts creative thinker and maker—someone who can generate an idea, collaborate with others to develop it, and then pick up a camera or phone to shoot, direct, edit, and deliver the final content.

The Senior, Content Creation role has a strong focus on short‑form, vertical video and requires a deep understanding of social culture, platform behaviors, emerging formats, and trends. Senior, Content Creators develop original concepts based on cultural and audience insights and translate them into content that feels native to platforms like Tik Tok, IG Reels, and You Tube Shorts among others.

This is a highly collaborative role, working alongside copywriters, art directors, designers, motion, talent, and production partners. Senior, Content Creators are also expected to bring a strong visual point of view to their work, providing direction across styling, framing, lighting, and locations.

Most importantly, this is a maker role. Senior, Content Creators should be comfortable behind the camera, in the edit, directing talent, AND-when the concept calls for it- in front of the camera. This may include featuring their own hands, voice, personality, or face to create authentic, attention‑grabbing content.
