Daniel J. Edelman Holdings in is hiring: Freelance Social Content Creator in San

Freelance Social Content Creator (Finance)

We are seeking an experienced Freelance Social Content Creator to support our team for 40 hours/week, during Assembly's working hours (9-5ish, local time). Focusing on both agile and always-on content, this role will bring the culture, trends, and expressions of social into hands-on, in-platform content creation for our clients. An interest in AI, software and cloud services is mandatory, and this is a client-facing, energetic, and highly collaborative role for daily content production.

The job

As a Freelance Social Content Creator, you will be responsible for collaborative and quick turn ideation and content creation across platforms, with a particular emphasis on TikTok. You'll be presenting ideas to the team and the clients, and using your skills to shoot, edit and finish in-platform. You're ready to be behind and in front of the camera as needed, leveraging trends to both concept and execute content ideas. You will work in lock step with a copy partner to lay out scripts and a strategist to ensure the creative meets business goals and objectives, while you take the reins to produce and iterate to final post.

Who are you?

You have deep experience concepting and creating content across platforms: with a particular focus on mobile capture & editing via TikTok. You live and breathe social; by understanding trends in news and culture and how to respond to them, you're deeply familiar with social strategy and how to judge content performance. You love to find creative ways to tell stories, make an impact, move fast and have fun while doing it. You often direct by doing, you show more than tell, while being a collaborative partner on a cross-functional team.
