TikTok Content Creator at Mack Weldon

THE STORY

In 2012, we set out to reinvent men’s underwear. Since then, we’ve used the same solutions-oriented approach to reimagine a full range of menswear staples—from featherlight button ups, to first-of-its-kind denim. Blending timeless styles with innovative details and materials, our clothes are uniquely designed to help guys move through their day with confidence (even if they’re just hangin’ in their sweats). 

We are looking for passionate, proactive, and strategic problem-solvers to join our growing team. If that sounds like you…keep reading.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a video-first content creator to curate, create, and manage content for our TikTok account.  Your mission will be to attract and engage our audience, increase followers, drive user interaction, and elevate our brand's presence on the platform. You'll work closely with the Brand Marketing & Creative teams to ensure that all content aligns with our values, voice, and creative vision.

This may be the job for you if:

• You’re a self-motivated content creator with a passion for short-form video and social trends.
• You love to keep your finger on the pulse of emerging social and cultural trends.
• You’re confident in pitching and executing brand-right ideas  and even more confident executing them. You can shoot, edit, animate video — all on your iPhone. You’re nimble with audio, animation, and graphics, and can work under reactive timelines to keep up with the social landscape.
• You’re a culture sponge, with a pulse on shopping and retail, and obsessed with what’s happening in the different spaces we occupy – social, retail, fashion, pop culture.
• You’re comfortable working with a low-fi budget and quick turnarounds while staying creatively elevated and on-brand.

• Social Content Creation: Lean into creating platform-relevant content for additional social channels (Instagram) when needed.
• Platform Growth: Develop strategies to increase follower count, reach, and engagement on the TikTok platform. Analyze data and metrics to optimize content performance.
• Content Calendar Management: Assist in planning and maintaining a content calendar to ensure a consistent posting schedule while ensuring content diversity and relevance.
• Brand Alignment: Ensure that all content adheres to the brand's guidelines, tone, and style. Work closely with the Brand Marketing team to ensure brand consistency across platforms.
• Competitive Research: Monitor competitor activity on TikTok and identify opportunities for differentiation and improvement.
• Innovation and Trends: Stay up-to-date with emerging TikTok trends, features, and best practices. Implement innovative strategies to stay ahead in the fast-paced social media landscape.
• Cross-platform Integration: Collaborate with other platform managers to align content efforts across various social media platforms.

WHAT WILL SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS

• Passion for TikTok: A deep understanding and love for the TikTok platform, with a strong sense of its culture, trends, and community.
• Creativity: A creative mind with the ability to ideate and execute engaging and viral content concepts.
• Video Editing Skills: Proficiency in video editing software and apps, such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or TikTok's built-in editing tools.
• Social Media Savvy: Familiarity with other social media platforms and an understanding of how content resonates across different channels.
• Data-Driven: Basic analytical skills to interpret data and metrics for content optimization.
• Collaborative Spirit: Strong teamwork and communication skills, as you will be working closely with other content creators and departments.
• Adaptability: Ability to work in a fast-paced and ever-changing social media environment.

WHAT WE'RE SEEKING

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Digital Media, or a related field is preferred.
• Previous experience in social media content creation, especially on TikTok, is preferred. 
• 1 year experience in a professional environment required.

WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL

• We search for the smarter way. Everything we do, from products to experiences to processes, is built with research, ingenuity, and quality. We embrace efficiency in all of its forms – but especially in how we work together as a team, the less bureaucracy the better.
• We invite generously because more perspectives make us better. We think diversity of thoughts and experiences is a strength. We check our egos at the door, actively solicit other’s perspectives, and always assume the best intentions. We build relationships that last.
• We believe that real confidence comes from knowing, not showing. We operate with a steady conviction and are built for the long haul, not to chase the latest fads. That doesn’t mean we can’t be assertive, expressive or take risks.  But we do so with an informed approach knowing we have the substance to back it up.
• We support the good ones and believe they can finish first. We believe that being good is the most sustainable strategy for success. We work with ethical and humane partners and always strive to do what is right, even if it is at a cost. We act with integrity, own our mistakes, and put in the effort to do our best.
