Topo Designs is looking for an in-house UGC Content Creator to make the scroll-stopping, phone-shot content that sells our bags and apparel. Think travel pack-outs, airport carry-on tests, fit checks and product deep dives.

You'll concept, shoot, edit and iterate short-form video and photo built for performance. Paid social is your first customer: you'll work with our Senior Paid Media Manager to turn ad data into new hooks, angles and variations, then do it again next week. You'll also feed our organic channels through briefs from the Social & Community Manager.

• Strong editing skills in CapCut, Edits, Premiere, Final Cut or similar
• Comfortable shooting on your own, phone-first, and on camera when needed
• DTC ecommerce experience preferred; outdoor, travel, bags or apparel strongly preferred

Skills & Qualifications

• Hooks and angles: Can turn one product brief into 5-10 distinct concepts
• Native editing: Edits for each platform's format, pacing, captions and sound
• Test-and-learn mindset: Reads performance data, kills losers fast, scales winners
• On-camera ease: Natural in front of the lens, and good at directing friends, staff and customers
• Product storytelling: Makes features (pockets, materials, carry-on fit) feel useful and real
• Organization: Keeps a clean, tagged content library and version tracking
• Speed: Ships multiple finished assets every week without losing quality
