Job Summary

Own the frontline content engine for social video by shooting and editing real, low-gloss clips that ride trends and reveal authentic factory life, product moments, and the people behind the brand.

  • Shoot and edit phone-first TikTok/Reels clips that feel real, not corporate.
  • Capture factory chaos, R&D moments, and personal stories to fuel daily postable content.
  • Feed the social team with a steady stream of ready-to-post footage from the on-site hub.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shooting and editing native, low-fi, phone-first short-form for TikTok and Reels — no corporate gloss, no stock-footage energy
  • Jumping on trends and sounds the day they pop, not the week after
  • Capturing real product moments — texture, technique, transformation, wash days, the good stuff
  • Capturing the other real stuff: the chaos of a family-run manufacturer, what's in the R&D fridge this week, the person who's worked here forever and has opinions
  • Feeding our social team a steady, postable stream — you're the content engine, they're the strategy
  • Coming into our Melrose Park, IL headquarters to actually be part of it — this is hybrid, but the chaos doesn't happen over Zoom

Requirements

  • Your personal TikTok or IG has actually performed — views, saves, comments, a video that got away from you in a good way. That account is your portfolio. We’ll watch it before we read anything else.
  • You shoot and edit phone-first. CapCut is basically a second language.
  • You know what sound is having a moment this week, not last quarter.
  • You’re comfortable on camera and don’t need three takes to relax into it.
  • Bonus, not a dealbreaker: you’re fluent in the curl/coil/strand/wave/texture community — you know the difference between a wash-and-go win and a wash-and-go tragedy.

Preferred

  • Bonus, not a dealbreaker: you’re fluent in the curl/coil/strand/wave/texture community — you know the difference between a wash-and-go win and a wash-and-go tragedy.

Benefits

  • Health/dental
  • 401(k) match
  • PTO
