Social Media Content Creator

About the role

This is a full-time, hybrid position with in-office work on Tuesdays and Thursdays at one of Dairy West's offices in Lynnwood, WA; Meridian, ID; Draper, UT; or Tigard, OR. We're looking for someone who knows how to make people stop, watch, share and join the conversation. Dairy West is looking for a Social Media Content Creator who can take an idea from spark to screen—concepting, capturing, editing, publishing and learning from what happens next. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who understands social culture, knows what makes content feel native to the platform, and can turn everyday stories into content people genuinely want to engage with.

You might spend one day capturing a farmer story, another creating a short-form video inspired by an emerging trend, and the next finding a fresh way to make dairy relevant to something people are already talking about. If you're the kind of creator who notices what's gaining traction before it lands in the marketing meeting, we'd love to see your work.

Responsibilities

• Concept, capture, produce, edit and publish platform-native content, with a strong emphasis on short-form video
• Turn trends, cultural moments, audience behaviors and everyday dairy stories into timely, relevant content
• Bring a steady stream of creative ideas based on what people are actually watching, sharing and talking about
• Manage day-to-day social publishing, editorial calendars, content workflows and community engagement
• Participate in social conversations and identify opportunities for proactive and reactive content
• Partner with teams across Dairy West to turn subject-matter expertise, farmer stories, innovation and organizational priorities into compelling social storytelling
• Support live events, real-time publishing and on-site social content when opportunities arise
• Track performance, audience behavior and emerging trends, then use what you learn to make the next piece of content better
• Collaborate with agencies, creators and production partners when additional expertise or capacity is needed
• Move quickly from "We should do something with this" to published content in hours or days—not weeks

Requirements

• 5+ years of relevant experience in social media, content creation, digital marketing or a related field
• A portfolio that demonstrates strong social-first creative work
• Experience creating content and managing social channels for consumer-facing brands or organizations
• Strong knowledge of Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and evolving social platforms
• Proficiency with mobile and desktop creation and editing tools such as Adobe Premiere, CapCut, Canva or similar platforms
• Skills across video editing, photography, copywriting and creative direction
• The ability to balance strong creative instincts with audience insights and performance data
• Strong project management, communication and collaboration skills
• Comfort working quickly when opportunities arise while maintaining a high standard for quality

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is curious—about people, culture, platforms, storytelling and what makes an audience care.

About Dairy West

Our work starts with dairy farmers and reaches far beyond the farm.

We value Trust, Action and Stewardship, and we take seriously our responsibility to use farmer investment wisely while doing work that is creative, relevant and effective.

Occasional travel of up to 25% and some event coverage outside regular business hours are part of the role.

Portfolio

A portfolio or work samples are required. Applications submitted without examples of your work will not be reviewed. Include work that helps us understand how you think and create. We're especially interested in examples of social-first storytelling and short-form video.
