We’re looking for a social-native Lofi Content Creator who lives and breathes short-form content: TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and beyond. This isn’t about polished production.

You’ll also be on-site at live events and shoots, capturing the behind-the-scenes, the hype, and the human side of sports and entertainment. Key Responsibilities Ideate, script, film, and edit engaging short-form content with a lofi, authentic aesthetic. Appear on-camera with confidence and relatability for internal and client-facing content. Capture content using iPhone cinematography, creative filming hacks, and platform-native editing tools like CapCut. Design thumbnails, cover slides, memes, and graphics to enhance storytelling. Research and understand client audiences to inform creative tone and storytelling. Track content performance across platforms, extract insights, and iterate to continuously improve. Partner directly with clients and internal teams; contribute to brainstorms and campaign planning. Travel up to 40% of the time to cover live events, activations, and shoots. Most Critical Outcome (MCO) Turn creativity into impact by producing content that resonates and performs on social. Compensation: $32.35 - $40.22 per hour.
