About Sledge

From bid to build to paid. From the office to the field to the entire company. Sledge is Construction AI.Sledge is the agentic, AI-native operating system for construction, handling the busywork of running a construction business so builders can spend more time building and less time on paperwork. Built for subcontractors and small to mid-size general contractors, Sledge is already live with a growing group of beta users. Sledge is early and founder-led, growing its content from scratch, so the person in this role has real ownership over what Sledge looks like day to day.
About the role

Sledge is hiring a Content Creator/Influencer to be a pure, video-first creator: someone who can shoot it, star in it, and get it live. This is a video-heavy role, almost exclusively video, across every format and platform: vlogs, reels, Instagram and Facebook Lives, live streams on Twitch, Rumble, and Kick, and Vimeo, YouTube, Shorts, long-form video, and covers. This role works closely with the Social Media Specialist, who sets the strategy, but Sledge wants someone who shows real initiative, not someone who waits to be told what to shoot.Sledge wants a real videographer, comfortable behind the camera and in front of it. Some social media experience helps, but this is a creator role first: someone who can pick up a camera, know the shot, know the edit, and know the platform, and get it out the door. No AI-generated video, photos, or captions. If it didn't actually happen in front of a camera, it doesn't go out under Sledge's name.
What you'll do

Vlog, film, and star in day-to-day content across Sledge's channels
Set up and run an ongoing content series, whether that's a vlog-style show, a comedy bit, or something else entirely
Shoot and produce reels, Shorts, and other short-form video
Shoot and produce long-form video, covers, and YouTube content
Run Instagram and Facebook Lives
Live stream on Twitch, Rumble, Kick, and similar platforms
Post to Vimeo, YouTube, and every other platform Sledge shows up on
Work closely with the Social Media Specialist on strategy, and take initiative on content ideas
Capture real jobsite moments, product use, and everyday Sledge content
Jump on trends and formats fast, before they're stale
Series ideas to get you started

A vlog-style series following different contractors and crews around on real jobsites
A comedy bit built around real contractor headaches: no-show subs, change orders, chasing a check
A \"before Sledge, after Sledge\" skit format, paperwork chaos versus Sledge handling it
Man-on-the-street style interviews on jobsites, quick, funny, and real
A recurring rig or tool showcase, with personality and humor built in
Remixing viral trends and audio for a construction audience
A blooper or fails reel pulled from real jobsite moments
A livestream Q&A where contractors can ask Sledge anything
Pick one, blend a few, or come up with something better. Sledge isn't picking for you.
