PART 2: CREATIVE CONTENT MANAGER

Are you the kind of person who sees a stick on the ground and thinks, “This would make an amazing prop for a reel”? Same. We’re looking for a Creative Content Manager who thrives behind the camera, loves a solid content workflow, and is obsessed with the art and science of virality.
You’ll be responsible for growing our reach across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and beyond—measured by views and vibes (okay, mostly views… but vibes matter too).
This is a wildly creative, highly collaborative role. You’ll work closely with Meredith (our founder) to turn her ideas—and yours—into scroll-stopping, heart-grabbing, “I need this in my life” type content.

Reel Ideation (Biweekly): Pitch, refine, and plan content ideas

Content Prep: Script, gather props, prep outfits, plan the shoot
Content Flow Management: Manage delivery to editor and scheduler
Project Management: Use Asana to manage timelines and output
Content Review: Quality control for edits before publishing
Analytics + Strategy: Track content performance and evolve approach
Stay Trendy: Watch trends and pull inspiration (we’ll train you!)
Workflow Systems: Build SOPs to streamline content production
Creative Play: Have fun with it! Try weird ideas. Play fast.
Brands You'll Support
Learn Grant Writing: Our flagship education company teaching people how to build flexible, fulfilling grant writing careers.
Eudaist: A content-forward brand based in McCarthy, Alaska—think tiny homes, bush planes, and storytelling for outdoor lifestyle brands.
What You Need
Strong visual storytelling instincts (no need to be on-camera)
Confidence to direct shoots and make things happen fast
Knowledge of or willingness to learn performance metrics and trends
Love of adventure—you must be okay flying in bush planes!
Project management confidence to juggle timelines and creative energy
Self-starter mentality, but thrives in collaboration
An appreciation for remote living, beauty, and creative risk-taking
Bonus: You’re down to be a little goofy in the name of good content

We are thrilled to provide a 4% employer match for retirement contributions and the opportunity to receive year-end bonuses. Additionally, you will receive professional development training totaling well over $20,000 per year to rapidly expand your content creator skills.
