Senior Creator

About the role

Kettle is a team of passionate, fearless creatives focused on delivering great products, redefining best-practices, and providing new opportunities for our clients. We are looking for our first Senior Creator. This is a rare one.

Responsibilities

• Own the full arc of social content — from the spark of an idea to the final frame.
• Concept, pitch, shoot, art direct, produce, edit, write, and animate all of it, for a legacy American clothing and accessories retailer.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience creating content for brands, agencies, or both — with a portfolio (can be a website or your IG) that shows range, craft, and a genuine point of view.
• A demonstrably strong aesthetic — your Instagram, TikTok, or portfolio should speak for itself before you say a word.
• Deep passion for fashion, style, and consumer culture; you follow the space closely and it shows in your work.
• Hands-on production skills: you're comfortable behind a DSLR camera or your phone, in a prop shop, and on a set you built yourself.
• Strong proficiency and experience in editing (Premiere Pro), graphic design (Adobe suite), motion graphics (After Effects), deck design (Figma, Keynote).
• The ability to write — not just captions, but ideas: concepts, scripts, creative rationale.
• Experience presenting and selling creative to clients; you can walk a room through an idea and make them believe in it.
• A collaborative instinct — you know when to lead and when to build on someone else's spark. You’re comfortable receiving feedback on your ideas, pivoting, taking others ideas and running with them, brainstorming, and receiving creative direction from your leads.

Qualifications

• The ability to conceive original social content ideas for our fashion client — and sell them through directly to clients with confidence and creative conviction.
• Own production start to finish: prop, style, and art direct shoots; operate camera; capture stills and video; and deliver polished, platform-ready content.
• Edit your own footage — short-form video, Reels, TikToks — with a sharp eye for pacing, rhythm, and visual storytelling.
• Build motion graphics and animated elements that elevate content beyond the standard social post.
• Write copy that is on-brand and platform-specific: captions, scripts, on-screen text, deck copy, and anything else the idea needs.
• Develop multi-platform content systems — not just one-offs, but cohesive creative content series concepts that works across multiple social platforms.
• Collaborate with strategists and creative leads to translate briefs into creative concepts that resonate.
• Stay ahead of platform trends, aesthetic shifts, and cultural moments in fashion and lifestyle — and bring that fluency into every brief.
