Part-Time Content Creator & Social Media Coordinator

Ripple is a growing children's brand created by the founders of PFECT (Positive Foundations for Emotional Care & Therapy). Through engaging stories, relatable characters, and evidence-informed resources, Ripple helps children and the adults who support them navigate school anxiety, big emotions, and new experiences with confidence.

Created by licensed therapists and children's book authors, Ripple's mission is to make social-emotional learning approachable, empowering, and even a little fun. As we prepare to launch our first picture book and expand into social media, school partnerships, speaking opportunities, and future books, we're looking for someone excited to help build the brand from the ground up.

We're looking for a Part-Time Content Creator & Social Media Coordinator to help bring Ripple to life across Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok.

This hybrid position (up to 10 hours per week
) includes one in-office content day each week in our Downers Grove office, with the remaining hours completed remotely.

You'll work directly with Ripple's creators to capture behind-the-scenes moments, create engaging short-form video content, brainstorm creative ideas, and help grow an authentic online community. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys storytelling, understands current social media trends, and wants to help build a meaningful children's brand from its earliest stages.

• Create, edit, and schedule engaging content for Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok.
• Capture photos and video during weekly in-office content days.
• Edit short-form videos using tools such as Cap Cut or similar software.
• Write engaging captions that reflect Ripple's warm, approachable voice.
• Monitor comments and messages while maintaining a positive online community.
• Stay current on social media trends and bring fresh content ideas to the team.
• Track basic analytics and recommend ways to improve engagement and growth.
• Help ensure Ripple's brand remains consistent across all platforms.

We're more interested in creativity, initiative, and storytelling than checking every box.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has experience creating content for Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok.
• Enjoys filming and editing short-form video content.
• Has strong writing skills and can create engaging, conversational captions.
• Is organized, reliable, and able to manage projects independently.
• Has experience with Canva, Cap Cut, Adobe Express, or similar creative tools.
• Understands current social media trends and how to adapt them authentically.
• Enjoys working collaboratively and bringing creative ideas to the table.
• Has an interest in children's media, education, mental health, or family-focused brands.

• Bachelor's degree (or current student) in Marketing, Communications, Digital Media, Journalism, Public Relations, or a related field.
• Experience growing a brand or creating content for a business, nonprofit, or personal platform.
• Photography or basic video production experience.
