Job Role

We're looking for someone who can consistently turn a camera and an idea into a video that outperforms the feed around it. This role is about pattern recognition as much as production: knowing why one hook holds attention for three seconds longer, why one edit gets shared and another gets scrolled past. We're looking for someone obsessed with the algorithm.

You'll be behind the camera, in front of it, and in the analytics dashboard afterward, figuring out exactly why a video worked so the next one works even better. Candidates must be based locally in the Metro Detroit area for on-site content production and available for occasional travel.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute short-form video concepts built to earn reach, retention, and shares on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
Read platform signals (completion rate, share rate, etc) and translate them into concrete changes to hooks, pacing, and structure
Conceptualize and execute content ideas aligned with Freewrite's brand voice and marketing goals
Capture and edit short-form video content end-to-end, from concept through final cut
Support the marketing team on product launches, paid campaigns, email marketing, and storytelling initiatives
Maintain consistent visual and editorial standards across all content
Lead on-site shoots, product demonstrations, and behind-the-scenes content
Report on what's working and what isn't, and use that data to shape the next round of content

Qualifications

A track record of published videos that have significantly outperformed typical engagement benchmarks (be ready to show the numbers)
Demonstrated understanding of how short-form platform algorithms surface and reward content, and how to work with that system
At least 1 year of professional experience in content creation, social media, or digital marketing
Proficiency with content creation tools
Comfortable shooting and editing content independently
Strong storytelling skills and attention to detail
Excellent time management and ability to meet deadlines
Passion for technology and design

Requirements

Must be located within commuting distance of Oak Park, Michigan
Ability to work on-site as needed for content production
Availability to work flexible hours when needed to accommodate shoots and product launches

What We Offer

Opportunity to work with a creative, design-led brand
Collaborative work environment
Competitive compensation based on experience
Access to Freewrite products and creative resources
