Position overview
We're looking for a part-time Social Content Creator to own the production of short-form video and other social content that introduces the world to Familiars. This is a hands-on contract role for someone who lives in the feed—equally comfortable on camera and behind it, and fluent in what actually earns reach on social. You'll translate a new and unfamiliar category (emotionally intelligent Physical AI) into video that stops the scroll and makes people feel something.
This role is for a maker. You'll shoot, edit, and ship at a high cadence, testing constantly and optimizing for distribution. The right person is as motivated by a breakout view count as by beautiful footage.
Travel to the Woburn, MA (Boston) office is required twice per month to be in person for filming content.
What You'll Do
- Produce a steady volume of short-form video for Instagram, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn—both face-to-camera and faceless formats.
- Optimize first for algorithmic reach and audience growth, balancing it with brand aesthetics.
- Repurpose existing assets—prototype footage, investor video, B-roll––into native, platform specific content.
- Create supporting graphics and motion assets in Canva/Figma and Photoshop.
- Treat the consumer channels like a funnel: lead with emotive storytelling and mission, then layer in product specifics over time.
- Test relentlessly—hooks, formats, lengths, sounds—and use performance data to decide what to make next.
- Collaborate closely with our marketing lead and copywriter to keep video on brand.
- Move fast on reactive moments (press hits, podcast drops, notable comments, trends) when timing matters.
What You'll Have
- 3+ years creating short-form video that has demonstrably grown an audience or driven reach on social platforms.
- A portfolio or set of accounts showing both on-camera and faceless video work.
- Strong editing skills and fluency with the tools of the trade, including Canva/Figma/Photoshop and Edits, CapCut, FinalCut Pro.
- A working understanding of how the major platform algorithms reward content, and a track record of using that to grow reach.
- Experience building and maintaining a content calendar optimized for testing and growth.
- The ability to self-direct a shoot end to end—concept, capture, edit, publish.
What You'll Need to Succeed
- An instinct for hooks and storytelling that make people stop, watch, and share.
- Comfort being on camera.
- A bias toward shipping and iterating over perfecting.
- Genuine excitement for a new and unfamiliar category, and the patience to help build it.
- Clear communication and easy collaboration across a small, fast-moving team.
- Openness to new tools and AI-powered workflows.
Compensation This is a part-time contract role. The expected hourly range is $40–$60, based on experience and a demonstrated track record of growing reach.
