Social Media Content Creator Job at SMACKIN’ in Minneapolis

SMACKIN’ is one of the fastest-growing snack brands in the country. What started with two college roommates selling sunflower seeds has grown into a nationally distributed snack brand with products in more than 30,000 retail locations, a community of more than 1 million followers, and hundreds of millions of views across social media.

Social media has been a major part of how we built SMACKIN’, and we’re looking for a

Social Media

Content Creator

to help build the next chapter.

This is not a role where you’ll spend your day scheduling posts or managing a content calendar from behind a laptop. We’re looking for someone who can create. Someone who understands what makes people stop scrolling, knows how to turn an idea into a great video, and wants to be responsible for producing content that millions of people could see.

The Role
As a

Social Media Content Creator,

you’ll be responsible for developing, filming, editing, and publishing content across SMACKIN’s social channels, primarily TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. You’ll work alongside our marketing team, founders, athletes, creators, partners, and employees to turn what is happening inside SMACKIN’ into entertaining, highly shareable content. One day you might be filming a new product launch at our office. The next you might be creating a street interview, shooting with one of our founders, covering a collaboration, testing a new content format, or turning a random idea into the best-performing video of the month.

The goal is simple: Make content people actually want to watch.

Prospective Salary Range:$70,000 - $100,000 per year

Travel Requirement: 25%+

Constantly test new concepts and double down on formats that work

What We’re Looking For
We care much more about your ability to make great content than the number of years you’ve worked at a company.

You should:

Be deeply familiar with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and internet culture

Understand why some short-form videos get 5,000 views and others get 5 million

Have strong instincts around hooks, storytelling, pacing, humor, and entertainment

Be comfortable filming with an iPhone or camera

Be able to edit short-form content quickly and effectively

Have strong creative judgment and attention to detail

Be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where things change quickly

Be collaborative, competitive, curious, and hungry to improve
