Digital Content Specialist

Our Mission

The Dirt World—food, water, shelter, power, and transportation—is the foundation of humanity. Without it, we cannot function or thrive. Our mission is to make the Dirt World a better place by building its people, leaders, and companies through tools, storytelling, and community. Aaron Witt’s content is a key part of that mission—telling the stories of the Dirt World to inspire and educate.

The Opportunity

BuildWitt is looking for a Digital Content Specialist to create compelling content that tells the stories of the Dirt World. This is a Nashville-based hybrid, creative role for someone who enjoys both being behind the camera and behind the edit. You'll primarily transform footage into engaging videos, photos, and social media content viewed by millions. Secondarily, you’ll capture content at jobsites, events, and our office, with occasional travel to construction projects across North America and beyond. If you love filmmaking, visual storytelling, and creating content that makes people stop scrolling, this role was built for you.

Travel: Approximately 15–30%
