PART 2: CREATIVE CONTENT MANAGER

Job Description

Are you the kind of person who sees a stick on the ground and thinks, “This would make an amazing prop for a reel”? Same. We`re looking for a Creative Content Manager who thrives behind the camera, loves a solid content workflow, and is obsessed with the art and science of virality.

You`ll be responsible for growing our reach across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and beyond—measured by views and vibes (okay, mostly views… but vibes matter too).

This is a wildly creative, highly collaborative role. You`ll work closely with Meredith (our founder) to turn her ideas—and yours—into scroll-stopping, heart-grabbing, “I need this in my life” type content.

Responsibilities

• Reel Ideation (Biweekly): Pitch, refine, and plan content ideas
• Filming + On-Site Production: Be camera operator, lighting tech, hype squad, and prop wrangler
• Content Prep: Script, gather props, prep outfits, plan the shoot
• Content Flow Management: Manage delivery to editor and scheduler
• Project Management: Use Asana to manage timelines and output
• Content Review: Quality control for edits before publishing
• Analytics + Strategy: Track content performance and evolve approach
• Stay Trendy: Watch trends and pull inspiration (we`ll train you!)
• Workflow Systems: Build SOPs to streamline content production
• Creative Play: Have fun with it! Try weird ideas. Play fast.

Brands You'll Support

• Learn Grant Writing: Our flagship education company teaching people how to build flexible, fulfilling grant writing careers.
• Eudaist: A content-forward brand based in McCarthy, Alaska—think tiny homes, bush planes, and storytelling for outdoor lifestyle brands.

What You Need

• Strong visual storytelling instincts (no need to be on-camera)
• Confidence to direct shoots and make things happen fast
• Knowledge of or willingness to learn performance metrics and trends
• Love of adventure—you must be okay flying in bush planes!
• Project management confidence to juggle timelines and creative energy
• Self-starter mentality, but thrives in collaboration
• An appreciation for remote living, beauty, and creative risk-taking
• Bonus: You`re down to be a little goofy in the name of good content

Compensation

This is a full-time salaried position between $60,000-$70,000 depending upon experience. We are thrilled to provide a 4% employer match for retirement contributions and the opportunity to receive year-end bonuses. Additionally, you will receive professional development training totaling well over $10,000 per year to rapidly expand your content creator skills.
