Job Summary

Own the creation of original photo and video assets for social, tailoring content to each platform, while tracking trends and collaborating with creative, social, marketing and events teams to keep output fresh and on brand.

  • Own asset backlog growth and platform-ready deliveries
  • Translate trends into actionable content proposals

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Shoot and edit original photography and video at a pace that supports daily posting across our social channels.
  • Close the gap in our product catalogue by building video and photo assets for products that have none, so every product can be found, understood and bought across social, our website and Amazon listings.
  • Shape each piece of content for the platform it lands on, across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and e-commerce, and republish user-generated and influencer content in the formats the business needs.
  • Track social trends, competitors and best-in-class executions, then turn what you find into clear content proposals the social and marketing teams can act on.
  • Pitch original ideas that give audiences a reason to rewatch, share, and follow, backed by what you see working.
  • Apply brand style templates to new and existing social content, keeping every story and post consistent, and flag where templates or workflows can be improved.
  • Shoot in the live store across 30 Rock and our Nordstrom boutique while guests shop and teams sell, without disrupting trading. Follow store guidelines for filming guests, especially children, and secure the permissions and releases needed before anything is published.
  • Partner with the creative, social, marketing, events, and special guest teams to cover major events, openings, and high-profile visits, with content planned in advance and agreed before cameras roll.
  • You’re doing well in this role when:
  • Our social channels have fresh, original content to post every day.

Requirements

  • 2+ years creating social content, with a portfolio showing original photography and video across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
  • Hands-on skill across the full production cycle: filming, editing, colour correction and sound design.
  • Fluency in Adobe tools such as Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Illustrator, plus Figma. We are happy to work with whatever you are most comfortable in.
  • A sharp eye for photography, composition and platform specifications, including formats suited to e-commerce.
  • Strong creative instinct, with a track record of turning trends into ideas that perform.
  • Working knowledge of consent and release requirements for filming guests, including children.
  • Confidence shooting in a fast-paced, working retail environment where guests and teams are part of the scene.
  • Autonomy and good judgement: you plan your own work, handle moving priorities and ask for help early.
  • The ability to travel between our New York locations during a shift and carry camera equipment of up to 25 pounds.
  • Flexibility to work days, evenings and weekends when events and peak retail periods call for it.

Preferred

  • comfort on camera, whether that is a quick walk-through of the store, a trend, or a hello to guests.

Benefits

  • Competitive annual salary + discretionary annual bonus
  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental & Vision coverage
  • Employee discounts
  • Pre-Tax Commuter Benefits
  • Retirement Plan (401k + Match)
  • Paid Vacation + paid company holidays
  • Paid + Unpaid sick time
