Social Content Creator, Selected (Contract)
About The Position
Selected is looking for a creative, energetic and highly versatile Social Content Creator to produce engaging, personality-driven content across the brand’s social platforms. This creator will film, edit, design, publish and occasionally host social-first content that brings Selected’s shopping journalism to life. The work may include short-form product reviews, explainers, demonstrations, graphics, trend-driven videos, interviews, behind-the-scenes content and recurring original series. The ideal candidate has strong creative instincts, a natural on-camera presence and a deep understanding of how audiences engage with content on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. They can take an idea from pitch to publication, whether that means writing a script, filming a product demonstration, designing a graphic in Figma or editing a fast-paced vertical video in Adobe Premiere Pro. This role will work closely with the Social Media Editor, reporters, editors, producers and visual teams. The Social Content Creator will be one of the people helping define how Selected looks, sounds and feels across social platforms, with a particular focus on reaching younger audiences through useful, credible and entertaining storytelling.
