Job description

Social Media and Content Creator for Ecommerce Agency (US-Based, Remote)

Be among the first 25 applicants.

Base pay range $12,000 – $24,000 per year.

Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that pairs remote work with top-tier talent. We help individuals from around the world connect with great companies that are looking for their specific skill set. Our mission is to provide great jobs to talented people, no matter where they are located.

This isn't a "behind the desk only" role. You'll be the creator zero: planning calendars, filming and posting content yourself, staying ahead of trends before they break, managing community and collaborations, and creating the type of brand presence that drives lasting growth.

You’ll also own creator relationships and content partnerships, working closely with the marketing and creative teams to identify, negotiate, and manage collaborations and paid creator campaigns.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain monthly posting calendars across IG, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube Shorts.

Keep calendars 2+ weeks ahead, aligned with launches, campaigns, and brand narratives.

Create & maintain a Pinterest moodboard as a shared inspiration hub for other creators.

Film, edit, and post original content at high velocity (e.g. ~5x / week IG, ~10x / week TikTok).

Be comfortable appearing on camera when needed.

Handle inbound UGC / affiliate / influencer collab requests, routing them into paid / organic programs.

Manage creator relationships, content collaborations, and paid partnerships across all brands.

Source and vet creators aligned with brand voice and goals.

Negotiate deliverables and fees, and oversee campaign execution from outreach through content delivery.

Collaborate with internal teams to track performance, usage rights, and future opportunities.

Follow top TikTok / Instagram strategists and official platform accounts to anticipate changes.

Use tools like New Engen reports (trend-spotting) and Gumloop (AI automations) to stay ahead.

Quickly adapt trending sounds, memes, and formats into on-brand executions.

Daily engagement: comments, DMs, collabs, social listening.

Nurture inbound community and affiliate / creator questions.

Build authentic community presence and social proof content.

Track growth, engagement, conversions, and share-of-voice.

Share weekly / monthly reports with optimization ideas.

Sync with Creative Dose (ads) + Boardgame Studio (organic) for cross-channel synergy.

Requirements

1-3 years of social media management—either for a D2C brand or for a personal account grown as a creator.

Strong portfolio of short-form content you've shot + edited yourself.

Excellent copywriting and storytelling skills, social-native first.

Strong understanding of TikTok / IG algorithms and growth mechanics.

Organized, proactive, highly collaborative.

AI-first mindset: fluent with tools like Claude (with MCPs), MidJourney, Runway, Higgsfield, Gumloop.

Comfortable being on-camera as needed.

Must be willing to work in US business hours.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Work From Home
• Flexible Hours

Seniority level: Mid-Senior level. Employment type: Full-time. Job function: Art / Creative. Industries: Online Audio and Video Media.
