Social Content Producer (Freelance)

About the Role

Reports to: COO

Freelance, 15 to 20 hours per week

There is a lot happening at Smooth. Our creators are launching shows, selling out events, and landing partnerships with the biggest brands on the planet. As a company, our team is growing and our story and perspectives are being picked up in the press. Right now, not enough of it makes it onto our own channels!

We're looking for a freelance Social Content Producer to change that. You'll work directly with our COO and cofounder to plan and produce Smooth's content across Instagram, LinkedIn, and Smoothletter, our newsletter. You’ll collaborate on the strategy and then you’ll take the reins to make it real: shooting, editing, designing, writing, and posting.

The goal is consistent, on-brand content that reaches the right people, packs a punch and strengthens Smooth's position as the knowledge creator company and as a place great people want to work.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Plan the content

• Meet weekly with our COO to map out content for the week and month ahead
• Bring your own ideas for formats, series, and moments worth covering, and pitch them
• Keep a content calendar running across Instagram, LinkedIn, and Smoothletter so we post consistently

Produce it

• Shoot and edit short-form video, in the office and at events
• Design graphics and carousels in Canva that look and feel like Smooth
• Write captions and LinkedIn company page posts in Smooth's voice
• Write each edition of Smoothletter, with input from our COO

Tell Smooth's stories

• Our creators: spotlight the knowledge creators we work with and the launches, milestones, and projects they're proud of
• Our brand partners: turn campaign results into case studies built for social
• Our events: capture and recap the events we produce, onsite once or twice a month
• Our team: show what it's like to work at Smooth, from the people and the wins to life in the office, so great candidates want to join us
• Our press: amplify Smooth's press coverage across our channels

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• You can shoot, edit, and design. You're comfortable behind a camera or phone, fast in your editing tool of choice, and you have the eye to make it look right in Canva
• You're a strong writer who can nail our voice. Smooth sounds like Smooth: grounded, smart, fun, and creator-first. You can pick that up quickly and carry it from a caption to a full newsletter
• You're a self-starter. You have ideas and can bring them to life yourself, taking feedback as you go
• Must be NYC-based, able to come into our office in Chelsea about once a week and be on-site at one to two events per month, including some evenings

WHAT WE CAN OFFER

• Hourly rate: $45 to $60, based on experience
• 15 to 20 hours per week, on a freelance basis
• Flexible schedule outside of your weekly office day and event dates
• Direct collaboration with Smooth's COO and co-founder
• A front-row seat to the creators, brands, and events shaping the knowledge creator space, at a profitable, bootstrapped company
