Personal Brand Content Creator - Modern Wisdom (Austin, TX)

Modern Wisdom · Austin, TX, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Chris Williamson, host of Modern Wisdom, is looking for an exceptionally drivenPersonal Brand Content Creatorto take complete ownership of his personal brand across social media.
The most important thing to understand about this role: we are not looking for someone who waits to be told what to do.
We want someone with an almost unreasonable level of initiative. You're constantly spotting opportunities, pitching ideas, testing formats, capturing moments, and thinking three steps ahead. You should be bringing more ideas to Chris than he has time to execute, not waiting for him to come up with content for you.
Think less "social media manager sitting at a desk" and more creative right-hand with a camera, great instincts, and extreme ownership.
You'll be with Chris regularly, capturing his day-to-day life, ideas, conversations, travel, routines, and behind-the-scenes moments - then turning them into Instagram Stories, Reels, TikToks, and vlogs that make his personal brand impossible to ignore.
What You'll Own Film and capture content throughout Chris's day (workouts, travel, studio visits, conversations, events, and spontaneous moments)
Shoot, edit, and publish Instagram Stories, Reels, TikToks, and vlogs
Own and evolve the content calendar without needing someone else to keep it moving
Constantly bring new concepts, formats, hooks, series, trends, and experiments to test
Write sharp, witty captions and copy that feel native to Chris - never generic, corporate, or AI slop
Manage posting and community engagement across Chris's personal channels
Track performance, understand what works, and aggressively iterate on winners
Travel with Chris as needed, approximately 25-50% of the year
Who We're Looking For You're someone who:
Has an unusually high level of energy, urgency, and initiative
Naturally generates more ideas than can realistically be executed
Sees potential content everywhere and moves quickly to capture it
Operates comfortably with ambiguity and very little hand-holding
Treats the personal brand like it's your own
Experiments constantly and knows how to turn winning ideas into repeatable formats
Has enough conviction to challenge Chris when you believe something will make the content better
Is comfortable being measured by output, quality, audience response, and growth
Passivity will kill you in this role. We would rather have someone who occasionally needs to be told to dial it back than someone who needs to be told to turn it up.
Creative & Technical Skills You should be:
Fast behind a camera: Confident shooting on an iPhone and camera without turning every moment into a production
Fast in the edit: Fluent in CapCut or equivalent editing software
A strong writer: Able to nail captions, hooks, and Chris's voice
A natural storyteller: You understand pacing, tension, payoff, and what keeps people watching
Deeply fluent in Instagram and TikTok: You study what works, spot emerging formats early, and understand why content performs
Comfortable getting the shot: You're willing to say, \"Wait, do that again\" or \"Give me 30 seconds, we're filming this\"
Flexible and travel-ready: Chris's schedule does not always fit neatly into 9-5. You must have an active passport and driver's license.
