**About the role**:
This role is an entry-level position perfect for students and new creators looking to gain experience in digital marketing while flipping the bird to soulless mega-retailers.

You'll join our marketing team to film and be featured in pre-approved, short-form video content for social media platforms. Each assignment comes with pre-written scripts and captions. If there are any specific filming guidelines, they will be clearly communicated to you ahead of time. We welcome creativity and will support you every step of the way

**Availability**

This is a flexible role with the freedom to choose your own hours and the number of deliverables you can produce each week. You also have the freedom to choose projects based on your skill and comfort level, with assignments ranging from short, simple videos to more complex projects with multi-cuts and effects.

**Compensation**

Compensation is structured to pay a minimum of $20/hr based on average output speed. Bonuses are paid if we use your content ideas. There will be additional opportunities to sign-up for studio filming days and filming on-site with local vendors in the TWC.

Pricing is transparent, disclosed upfront, and corresponds to the level of skill required for the assignment. Simple one-shot videos are paid at a lower rate than more complicated videos, such as multi-cuts and special effects.
