Job Summary

About the Role

Utah is one of the fastest-growing innovation economies in the country, and most of what’s happening here never gets told. We’re looking for a content creator who can get out into the field, find the stories, and tell them in a way that actually lands on social media.

This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be at events, talking to founders, researchers, and policymakers, and turning what you find into content that builds Utah’s reputation as a place where things get built.

You’ll work directly with the Nucleus Institute CEO , who also serves as Commissioner of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development ( GOED ). This gives you a direct line into the state’s top innovation initiatives and priorities, and a front-row seat to how they unfold.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Do

• Attend events across the state (launches, summits, demo days, university research showcases, policy briefings) and create real-time content

• Identify emerging companies, research breakthroughs, and policy developments worth covering

• Produce short-form video, photo, and written content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X

• Help shape an ongoing content calendar and pitch story ideas

• Work in collaboration with the Startup State initiative and the Utah Elevated/Convergence initiative at GOED

• Track engagement and adjust content strategy based on what’s working

What You Bring

• A strong social media portfolio with a track record of driving real engagement (not just posting)

• Comfort shooting and editing short-form video on a phone

• Curiosity about Utah’s tech, research, and policy landscape

• Ability to work independently, show up to events, and turn raw moments into compelling content fast

• Strong writing skills and a good eye for what makes a story worth sharing

Logistics

• Flexible hours based on your availability and event schedule, up to 20 hours/week

• Some evening and occasional weekend availability needed for events

• Reliable transportation to attend events around the state

Minimum Qualifications

Qualifications

• High School Diploma, or equivalency

• Currently enrolled in a Utah institution of higher education.

• Strong analytical and research skills, with the ability to analyze complex information and present it clearly and concisely.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Proactive, self-driven, and able to work independently as well as part of a team.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and familiarity with research databases and tools.
