Responsibilities

• Create photo and video content across all four stores.
• Shoot and edit content on a regular weekly rhythm, rotating through our Watertown, Woodbury, Prospect and Salisbury stores.
• Appear on camera yourself for quick, informal videos - product highlights, sale announcements, behind-the-counter moments.
• Plan and produce longer-form video: write the dialogue and shot list, direct the people on camera, and edit the finished piece.
• Work with our outside videographer and influencer partners on larger shoots, including off-site vendor visits and in-store events.
• Photograph the weekly hot deal items so the images are appetizing and engaging enough to make customers shop the sale.
• Own our social media presence.
• Build and maintain the social content calendar, and post to Facebook and Instagram several times a week.
• Schedule and boost posts to line up with the weekly sale, the newsletter, and seasonal campaigns.
• Run social giveaways and contests, and coordinate promotion with vendors and community partners.

Requirements

• Comfortable in front of the camera. You genuinely enjoy being on camera and can record a natural, engaging video of yourself on a phone with little preparation. You are also good at putting other people at ease in front of a lens.
• Solid Adobe Creative Suite skills. Working knowledge of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop - enough to pick up flyer and signage production and be a real second set of hands for Jason, not just a helper. This is the one area where we need more than beginner-level skill.
• Real video and photo editing ability. You can shoot clean footage, cut it together, add text and music, and deliver something polished. You do not need to be a professional editor, but you should be past the beginner stage and eager to get better.
• A sharp eye for detail. You notice the faced shelf behind your subject, the typo in the sale price, and the sign that has been hanging crooked for a week - and you fix them.
• Self-directed and accountable. You can take a project, figure out the steps, and finish it without being asked twice. You keep track of your own commitments and communicate honestly when something is going to slip.
• Outgoing and easy to work with. You will be talking with customers, associates and store directors constantly. Being approachable and easy to work with matters as much as your creative skills.
• Understanding of layout, typography, composition, color and design fundamentals.
• Comfortable working across four store locations. A valid driver's license and reliable transportation are required.
• Experience with social media management, Squarespace or another website platform, or basic SEO is a plus but not required - we will teach you what you do not know.

Benefits

• Medical, dental and vision insurance.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Employee discount.
• Real ownership of visible projects, and creative guidance and feedback from a designer who has been doing this a long time.
• Hands-on experience across graphic design, photography and videography, social media, print production and e-commerce - a genuinely broad skill set for a marketing career.
