We want to meet you if:

• Creating content is your jam. You know how to create engaging content that tells a brand story. You thrive on planning and creating original content for websites, social media platforms, digital and print.
• You are ambitious. You are eager to take on new challenges and possess a strong drive to excel and achieve outstanding results in your work. You feel empowered to effortlessly turn your ideas into tangible results. Creating alliances with our subject matter experts to gather insights is not intimidating to you. You are comfortable interacting with all levels of team members, including executive management.
• You’ve got receipts. You’ve got examples of your work, and you’re proud to show off what you’ve accomplished. You have general design, video, and photography experience and are proficient in using the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of apps.

You’ll like working here if:

• You like to lead. We’ll be looking to you to bring your best ideas and know-how to create the content that will shape our brand’s online presence to continue building strong connections with our audience.
• You thrive on variety. We manage multiple projects for internal and external customers all at once. If you like developing, writing, and editing various types of content that align with our marketing strategies, you’ll love every minute of your day.

• You’re adaptable with a go-to attitude. If you’re open to change and have the willingness to adopt new things/ideas, you are the ideal candidate.
• You’re adventurous. If the idea of creating a photo library, filming on a busy construction jobsite, or interacting with all our teammates sounds thrilling, this is the role for you.
  

What you’ll be doing:

• The primary emphasis of this role is to create high-quality, engaging, and relevant content through film, photography, and general graphic design.
• You’ll spend your days capturing jobsite footage, editing videos, crafting social posts, interviewing teammates, and turning technical project updates into stories that resonate.
• Collaborating with the Director of Marketing to brainstorm and develop creative content ideas.
• Pitching content ideas for our website, landing pages, blog, social media platforms, and newsletter to the Director of Marketing.

What you need:

• A bachelor’s degree or 8+ years of relevant content marketing experience.
• Photography and videography competence.
• Mastery of graphic design software, using Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
• Samples of both your writing and your creative work.
• Professional proficiency in the English language.
• A keen eye for detail, ability to multitask, and strong analytical skills.
• Ability to be a self-starter with the capacity to work autonomously and proactively - demonstrating initiative.
