About The Position

NewGen is a global social creative and creator agency with offices in London, Manchester, and New York. We partner with leading brands to shape culture and drive impact through social-first creative and creators. As a fast-growing, independent agency founded by 30-under-30 co-founders, we work with major brands like Pepsi, Samsung, Amazon, SEGA, and CashApp, and are trusted by leading creators. Our New York office offers a start-up energy within a global agency, located in Flatiron. We are looking for individuals with energy, a focus on quality, collaboration, creativity, and partnership.

The Social Creator role is a hands-on position for someone deeply immersed in online culture, skilled in shooting and editing social content. You will work across our client roster, creating and editing socially native content, focusing on TikTok and Instagram, and bringing creative ideas to life. You will collaborate closely with senior creative and strategy teams, learn quickly, and build a strong portfolio.

Requirements

• Proven experience creating food and beverage social content that looks premium and elevated, not like a snapshot. You know how to style, shoot, and edit dishes and drinks so they feel scroll-stopping and on-brand.

Nice To Haves

• 2-4 years of experience creating content for social-first brands, whether agency-side, in-house, or as a creator yourself
• Native social media user, fluent in trends & memes across platforms
• Comfortable shooting and editing your own content, with a working knowledge of tools like CapCut, Premiere, FinalCut, or similar
• An eye for what makes content feel native to a platform rather than “advertised”
• A point of view on what’s working right now across TikTok, Instagram, and beyond
• Ability to take direction and feedback well, and turn it around quickly
• Some experience working to briefs, deadlines, or in a fast-paced team environment
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Comfortable using project management tools
• Bonus: photography, design, or basic motion graphics skills
• Bonus: knowledge of or interest in the gaming industry and its creators, reflecting our heritage and strength in this space

Responsibilities

• Create hands-on content – Shoot and edit socially native content across TikTok, Instagram, and emerging formats, translating briefs into scroll-stopping work. You’ll be as comfortable behind the camera as you are in the edit.
• Bring ideas to the table – Pitch in on brainstorms and concepting sessions with fresh, platform-native thinking. We want people who are chronically online and know what’s landing right now, not just what worked last year.
• Execute across formats and settings – Move comfortably between studio, location, and lifestyle shoots, adapting your approach to whatever the brand and platform need.
• Support senior creative leads – Work closely with senior creatives and strategists, turning direction into finished, polished content and helping keep projects moving day to day.
• Learn the craft fast – Take feedback well, iterate quickly, and build your skills across shooting, editing, and platform-native storytelling with support from a team that wants to see you grow.
• Champion collaboration – Partner across creative, strategy, and account teams to make sure every idea gets executed well and on time.

Benefits

• Full-time employees will have a hybrid work arrangement with a minimum of three days a week in the office.
• Freelance employees will be in the studio 1–2 days a week, with the rest of their time worked flexibly/remotely.
• Initial 8-week engagement with a strong likelihood of extension for freelance/contract.
