Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Content Creation (the core of the role)
  • Shoot original photo and short-form video at HQ — product, athletes, ambassadors, lifestyle B-roll.
  • Design, Edit and finish content for organic and paid placements (Reels, TikToks, Shorts, statics, story content).
  • Build growth creative for paid social in collaboration with the growth team — hooks, variations, A/B-ready cuts.
  • Stay on top of trends and translate them into BUBS-flavored content fast.
  • Organic Social Channels
  • Own the content calendar, scheduling, and publishing across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
  • Manage community: DMs, comments, mentions, and meaningful engagement with our people. Our people include professional skiers, mountaineers, former NFL players, professional surfers, full time moms, runners, adventurists and all sorts of life enthusiasts.
  • Learn and live the BUBS voice. It should inspire, be fun and be relatable. Write captions that hook, with a voice that sounds like BUBS — not just any wellness brand.
  • Track performance and adjust — content cadence, formats, and copy — based on what the numbers say.
  • Social Commerce
  • Manage and grow our shoppable storefronts (TikTok Shop, Instagram Shop).
  • Partner with the growth team on conversion tracking and optimization.
  • Photoshoots, Activations & Partners
  • Support concepting, shotlists, and on-set execution for brand shoots.
  • Help run onsite activations — capture, post, and feed the channels in real time.
  • Support influencer, creator, and partner collabs, including product seeding and content handoffs.

Requirements

  • 3–5+ years creating content for a DTC brand or agency.
  • A reel or portfolio that shows you can shoot AND cut short-form video that actually performs.
  • Hands-on with Adobe Suite, CapCut, Canva, Claude Design and or similar tools.
  • A sharp eye for trends — you spot, adapt, and execute fast without losing the brand.
  • Strong copywriter. Your captions hook, and you have an instinct for short-form rhythm.
  • Comfortable with social analytics — you read what’s working and adjust on the fly.
  • Track record managing organic social channels with a consistent voice and aesthetic.
  • Understand both growth creative (hooks, performance, CTR) and organic creative (story, community, earned attention) — and know the difference.
  • Fluent in Shopify, Google Workspace, Slack, and a project management tool (Asana or similar).
  • Organized, self-directed, and easy to work with cross-functionally. Willing and able to work in the Encinitas office 4 days per week.

Preferred

  • You’ve shot for an active, outdoor, fitness, or supplement brand.
  • You’ve grown a channel from scratch — yours, a friend’s, or a brand’s.
  • You have hands-on social commerce experience (TikTok Shop, IG Shop, Shopify integrations).

Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • Free BUBS product.
  • Fun work environment next to the beach. A small, scrappy, on-site team that delivers work it’s proud of — and a brand with a story worth telling.

BUBS Naturals

BUBS Naturals was founded in 2017 after a perfect confluence of events. The national tragedy of a best friend, eventually leading to a morning coffee meeting looking to make a difference, preserve a legacy, and have some laughs along the way.The BUBS namesake derives from Glen ‘BUB’ Doherty, who was heroically killed in Benghazi, Libya in 2012. In addition to remembering Glen for the patriot he is, the BUBS ethos centers around the passionate and adventure seeking life that Glen lived.Woven into the DNA of BUBS Naturals is that of professional athletes, top performers, rabble-rousers, and Navy SEALs. Through that, our goal is to exceed your expectations in everything we do, starting with our Collagen and MCT Oil Powder backed by scientific research and discovery; an endless pursuit to find the Fountain of Youth.
