The Role

We're looking for a Social Media Content Creator who is, at their core, a visual storyteller - someone who loves social media and knows how to create and elevate good content into high-performing content across key platforms, including Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest and beyond.

Based in Lenexa, KS, this social-first creative role is working alongside the social creative team to shape the look, feel, and vibe of our brands across our platforms.

You'll partner closely with our social strategy and creative teams to plan, execute, and elevate our social presence. Internally, this role will be titled Social Creative Specialist.

As a great team player and go-getter, you'll join fellow social content creators to share insights, learnings and inspiration on the regular. Day-to-day work may also include content ideation and creation, trend scouting, performance interpretation, partnership with stores, and occasional travel for on-site content capture.

We're a company built on doing things differently, and we're looking for someone who's naturally curious, collaborative, and energized by new ideas - someone who thrives in a fast-moving creative environment and helps make it inspiring, innovative, and fun.
