Job description

We're looking for someone who's chronically online, always has a video idea, and knows what makes people stop scrolling.

Bells of Steel makes home gym equipment — power racks, barbells, kettlebells, cable machines, and more. Founded in 2010, now 80+ people strong with facilities in Calgary, Toronto, Indianapolis, and Melbourne. Proudly Canadian, a little irreverent, very online.

We're hiring a Social Media Manager & Content Creator to keep us showing up in the feed — fast, funny, on-trend, and unmistakably us.

Our Ideal Candidate

• Edits fast, in a fun, goofy, meme-y, on-trend style
• Bursting with ideas — that's the thing we can't teach, so we care about it more than raw technical skill
• Okay with getting a little goofy on camera
• Sociable and comfortable talking to people
• Chronically online and genuinely into social media, not just doing it as a job
• Catches trends early
• Good cultural fit with our team
• A fast learner who's comfortable in a fast-changing, fast-paced environment
• Into fitness — lifting, bodybuilding, sports, or just generally active
• Hands‑on experience using fitness equipment

What You'll Do

• Shoot and edit short‑form video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) — quickly and often
• Pitch content ideas and hooks regularly
• Track trends and adapt them to our brand
• Show up on camera when needed
• Engage with our community online
• Help turn organic content into ad creative with our ads team
• Organic social: 3–5 posts/week
• Paid ad creative: 2–4 pieces/week, with our ads team

Bonus Skills

• Reading and acting on analytics
• Technical/editing skill, especially DaVinci Resolve experience — that's our main editing tool, and you'll be learning our house editing style, so this helps but isn't the deciding factor
• Paid social platform experience (nice to have — we have an ads team)
• Content calendar/scheduling tools (we'll train you)

What We Expect From You

• Consistent output at the cadence above
• Proactive idea pitching
• Ownership from concept to publish
• Fast iteration on feedback
• On-brand voice across platforms

What You Can Expect From Us

• Training on our tools and workflow
• Creative freedom, not a rigid brief
• Mentorship and training — including AI tools and workflows
• Full access to our gym and equipment
• Staff discount on our equipment
• Sponsorship support for fitness events and competitions
• Every other Friday off
• A genuine team‑first culture

The schedule & location

This is an in‑person role based in our Calgary location, where the core hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm
