Kevin Champeny Studio is hiring a Social Media Content Creator & Manager to run the artist’s channels day to day. Reporting directly to Kevin and the studio manager, you will shoot on-site, edit, publish, and scale the accounts.

Kevin builds monumental mosaic works out of tens of thousands of hand-cast urethane sculptures; the mesmerizing process is the content. Your mission is to capture that tactile process and translate it into high-performing, fine-art short-form video nearly every day.

This is an autonomous, hands-on production role:

60% Production & Editing (short-form Reels, Tik Toks, Shorts)

25% Content planning, platform trends, publishing, and community triage

15% Archival and portfolio photography of finished works

• Maintain a weekly content calendar for all platforms
• Research and identify platform trends and create on-trend content
• Photograph completed works cleanly and consistently for the website, sales materials, and collector inquiries
• Originate recurring formats and social-first series
• Repurpose old footage when applicable into newly edited videos

• 2+ years of professional social media experience
• Native fluency on Instagram and Tik Tok, with a track record of growing an account.
• Confident operating a professional camera, lighting, and audio in a working studio
• Editing experience with Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, or Cap Cut; comfortable with color, sound design, and captions

• Previous experience in the art world is NOT required.
• Ability to turn same-day footage into a same-day post
• Strong sense of pacing, hooks, and platform-native storytelling for Reels, Tik Tok, and Shorts
• Self-directed and organized; able to keep a calendar, hit a cadence, and work with minimal supervision
• Experience with photography of artwork or products for print and web a plus
• Experience with email tools (Mailchimp, Flodesk, Substack, or similar) a plus
• Interest in and knowledge of contemporary art, design, or collecting a plus

• $3,200-$4,000 per month, depending on experience
• Roughly three studio days per week, flexing around what's being built and the artist's schedule, plus remote editing and posting
• Studio camera, lighting, and audio provided on-site

• Creative ownership: you pitch, you shoot, you edit, you post — your work goes out under your eye, only one layer of approval
• A portfolio builder: fine-art content with a distinctive look, published to established accounts, that you can show for years
• Exposure to the art world: exhibitions, installs, collectors, galleries, and the business of selling art
• Flexibility: studio days that flex around what's being built, and editing from wherever you work best
