Content Creator & Social Lead, Menswear

Overview

We're looking for a

content-first creator

to lead and build our social presence at Paul Fredrick. This is not a traditional social media manager role. We need someone who already knows how to make content that performs and who lives in the world of TikTok and Instagram, understands menswear culture, and can consistently turn ideas into engaging content. Paul Fredrick is an established menswear brand with over 40 years of history. This is an opportunity to help shape the next chapter of how we show up on social media. You'll report directly to the Creative Director and work closely with Marketing to bring that vision to life. This is a newly created full-time position within the organization, and will be a 3-month term assignment. At the conclusion of the term, there may be an opportunity to be considered for continued employment based on your impact and our evolving needs; however, this is not guaranteed.

Concept, shoot, and edit short-form video for Instagram and TikTok

Produce content primarily on iPhone with a strong understanding of platform-native formats

Develop ideas rooted in product, styling, and menswear culture

Execute quickly and consistently, with a focus on what performs

Community & Performance Awareness

Pay attention to content performance and use it to inform and evolve future ideas

How You'll Work

You'll work closely with the Creative Director and Marketing Director to align on seasonal direction, product priorities, and overall brand voice. While this role comes with a high level of ownership, it is also highly collaborative. You'll be expected to bring ideas forward, iterate quickly, and refine content based on feedback and performance. We're looking for someone who can operate independently while staying closely aligned with the creative vision of the brand.

What Success Looks Like
You take ownership of this role and operate with a high level of independence

You successfully launch and grow our TikTok into a meaningful channel

You increase engagement across Instagram and Facebook

You establish repeatable content formats that consistently perform

You create a steady flow of content that feels relevant, engaging, and aligned with menswear culture

You help shape a social presence that people follow not just to shop, but to engage with and learn from within menswear

This role offers meaningful autonomy, paired with clear creative direction and collaboration.

What We're Looking For
A proven content creator with a strong portfolio of short-form video work

Demonstrated ability to concept, shoot, and edit content that performs on TikTok and/or Instagram

Deep familiarity with social trends, formats, and pacing

Strong creative instincts, taste level, and a clear point of view

Comfortable shooting on iPhone in a fast-paced content environment

Ability to generate ideas consistently and execute at a high level

Strong interest in menswear, styling, and fashion culture

3+ years creating social content (for a brand or personally), with a portfolio that demonstrates results

Basic design skills for stories or simple graphics

Examples of content that has driven strong engagement or growth
