About the role
Energy CX is seeking a highly creative and trend-savvy Content Creator to develop engaging, platform-native content that drives audience engagement and builds brand relevance across social channels. This is a hands-on maker role — you'll own the content creation process end to end, from ideation through execution, including content strategy, community engagement support, production, and editing. Roughly 80% of the work is creating (shooting, editing, designing) and 20% is analyzing and iterating, working solo or alongside a small creative team.
The ideal candidate is passionate about social media, understands emerging trends, and is excited to help make an industry most people find boring feel interesting. You'll produce content related to ECX's brand, culture, and industry presence, including company culture and employee spotlights, energy market insights, and client-facing brand storytelling.
In order to be considered for this position, you will need to upload your portfolio. Please incorporate a variety of work including photography, video, animation, and/or graphic design.
