POSITION SUMMARY

As a Social Media Content Creator you will independently capture, edit, organize, and help produce high-quality long-form and short-form content for our brands, campaigns, events, podcasts, and executive thought leadership.

This is a film-heavy, editing-forward role for a skilled creator who understands professional content capture, visual storytelling, and modern social media.
