We're partnering with a fast-growing D2C startup based in Calgary and looking for a highly creative, performance-minded Content Creator to help build and scale its short-form content engine.

 

This is not a traditional social media role. We're looking for someone who understands how content drives growth: someone who knows how to create videos that hook attention quickly, feel native to platforms like TikTok and Reels, and ultimately drive clicks, engagement, and conversion.

 

You'll play a key role in evolving the company from primarily static paid ads into a high-volume, video-first content machine as the brand expands into new markets across North America.

 

What You'll Be Doing

  • Create high-volume short-form video content for:
    • TikTok
    • Instagram Reels
    • Meta
    • YouTube Shorts
  • Develop paid social creative designed to drive performance and conversion
  • Generate hooks, concepts, scripts, and creative variations at scale
  • Create content that feels organic and platform-native
  • Collaborate with growth and marketing teams to test and optimize creative performance
  • Help build scalable content production systems and workflows
  • Coordinate creators, talent, or contributors for content shoots when needed
  • Experiment with AI-assisted creative tools and emerging content formats
  • Stay on top of trends, platform shifts, and high-performing ad styles

     

What We're Looking For

  • 3-5 years of experience creating high-performing short-form content
  • Deep understanding of TikTok, Reels, and platform-native content
  • Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, storytelling, and conversion-focused creative
  • Experience creating content for paid social campaigns
  • Ability to move quickly and produce content at scale
  • Strong understanding of what makes content convert - not just look polished
  • Comfortable both creating content yourself and collaborating with others
  • Self-starter mentality with strong ownership and initiative

     

Strong Backgrounds May Include

  • D2C/ecommerce brands
  • Consumer startups
  • Paid social creative
  • UGC-focused brands
  • Creator economy environments
  • Performance marketing teams
  • Subscription or consumer tech products

     

Nice-to-Have Experience

  • UGC creator management
  • AI video/content tools (HeyGen, AI-generated video workflows, etc.)
  • CapCut, Final Cut, or similar editing tools
  • On-camera comfort or willingness to occasionally appear in content
  • Experience scaling content systems/processes

     

Team & Culture

This is a highly collaborative startup environment with a lean marketing team and lots of autonomy. The company values:

  • creative thinking
  • experimentation
  • speed
  • initiative
  • people who proactively bring new ideas to the table

The environment is fast-moving, high-trust, and performance-oriented.

 

Perks & Benefits

  • Comprehensive health & dental benefits 
  • $500 annual learning allowance
  • Full-time onsite role in Calgary
  • Opportunity to help build a high-growth content engine from the ground up

     

If you're obsessed with short-form content, understand performance creative, and want to help scale a growing consumer brand, we'd love to hear from you.
