Freelance Content Creator & Strategist

This is a freelance seat with an independent media company that has built its identity around a deliberate stance: telling uplifting, solutions-focused American stories rather than trading on conflict.

Its work spans the environment, economic development and social change; the audience is national, and the starting point is always the same question: how do you cut through without adding to the noise?

The Role
You own social end-to-end for national, issue-led campaigns, from insight to execution. That means setting the strategy and then making the work: writing and editing sharp copy, cutting Reels and short-form video, designing assets, and building the content calendar. Instagram is the primary platform, adapted for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook. You’ll run day-to-day publishing and community engagement, spotting cultural moments worth acting on. You’ll also set up, manage and optimise paid campaigns across Meta, TikTok and YouTube, then feed what you learn back into the strategy.

The remit is deliberately broad, which is the point: you shape early creative direction rather than execute someone else’s. You’ll work alongside creative, research, production, program management and measurement teams. Content lives inside real editorial guardrails – the focus stays on positive stories, not attacks on community, political or business leaders. This is a role for someone comfortable being creative and sharp inside those lines.

The Package

Fully remote, US-based, with flexibility across EST/Central

National campaign work across environment, economic development and social change

The Person
You’ve spent several years running social channels end-to-end – strategy and hands-on production, not one or the other. You cut video in CapCut or Premiere, design in Canva, and set up paid across Meta, TikTok and YouTube yourself.

Crucially, you’ve worked on issue-led or sociopolitically sensitive content and can operate with cultural awareness inside brand-safety constraints. A portfolio of published work is key.
