Social Content Creator

Job Description

About the Role

Playology makes science-backed dog toys with embedded scent technology. It’s our flagship brand and will make up roughly 85% of this role. You’ll also create evergreen content for Grrreen, Anivida, Hound2O, and design LAB, four distinct pet brands spanning sustainability, hydration, outdoor adventure, and licensed entertainment.

We’re looking for a creator who can help our brands break through. Someone with a strong creative point of view who knows the difference between content that fills a calendar and content people actually want to watch.

How This Role Works

You’ll report to our Senior Manager, Brand Communications, who sets the creative direction. From there, you own the execution, including concepting, locations, shot lists, filming, editing, and final delivery.

This is a creator role, not a publishing or paid media role. Scheduling, community management, and media buying are handled by other team members. Your job is to make great work.

We’re looking for a creative partner, not a set of hands. Take a brief and make it better. Have opinions. Push back when something won’t work. Take feedback without taking it personally. Bring the idea you believe in and be able to explain why.

You should be equally comfortable creating polished product content and rough, native social content, and know when each is right. When the light is bad, the location falls through, or the dog decides it’s done for the day, you figure it out and finish the work.

What You Bring
