Senior Creator

Kettle is a team of passionate, fearless creatives focused on delivering great products, redefining best-practices, and providing new opportunities for our clients. 

We are looking for our first Senior Creator. This is a rare one. As a Creator at Kettle, you'll own the full arc of social content — from the spark of an idea to the final frame. You'll concept, pitch, shoot, art direct, produce, edit, write, and animate. All of it, for a legacy American clothing and accessories retailer. We're not looking for someone who does one thing well. We're looking for someone who does everything incredibly well — and has the aesthetic and experience to prove it.

Candidates should have:

5+ years of experience creating content for brands, agencies, or both — with a portfolio (can be a website or your IG) that shows range, craft, and a genuine point of view

A demonstrably strong aesthetic — your Instagram, TikTok, or portfolio should speak for itself before you say a word

Deep passion for fashion, style, and consumer culture; you follow the space closely and it shows in your work

Hands-on production skills: you're comfortable behind a DSLR camera or your phone, in a prop shop, and on a set you built yourself

Strong proficiency and experience in editing (Premiere Pro), graphic design (Adobe suite), motion graphics (After Effects), deck design (Figma, Keynote)

The ability to write — not just captions, but ideas: concepts, scripts, creative rationale

Experience presenting and selling creative to clients; you can walk a room through an idea and make them believe in it

A collaborative instinct — you know when to lead and when to build on someone else's spark. You’re comfortable receiving feedback on your ideas, pivoting, taking others ideas and running with them, brainstorming, and receiving creative direction from your leads

We’d like to know that you can:

Conceive original social content ideas for our fashion client — and sell them through directly to clients with confidence and creative conviction

Own production start to finish: prop, style, and art direct shoots; operate camera; capture stills and video; and deliver polished, platform-ready content

Edit your own footage — short-form video, Reels, TikToks — with a sharp eye for pacing, rhythm, and visual storytelling

Build motion graphics and animated elements that elevate content beyond the standard social post

Write copy that is on-brand and platform-specific: captions, scripts, on-screen text, deck copy, and anything else the idea needs

Develop multi-platform content systems — not just one-offs, but cohesive creative content series concepts that works across multiple social platforms

Collaborate with strategists and creative leads to translate briefs into creative concepts that resonate

Stay ahead of platform trends, aesthetic shifts, and cultural moments in fashion and lifestyle — and bring that fluency into every brief

The target range of base compensation for this role is $70,000 - 85,000. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and location.
