Role Description

Givebutter is seeking a Los Angeles-based Social Content Creator (contractor) to support the production of short-form video content across organic and paid social channels.

We're looking for a creator who loves making videos, spotting trends, testing ideas, and bringing content to life.

This is a hands-on creator role for someone who enjoys being both behind and in front of the camera. You'll help us move quickly, experiment often, and create content people actually want to watch.

We're especially excited to meet creators who think big and bold—people who can take our brand's limitless potential and turn it into scroll-stopping content that drives real impact. From trends and original content series to community storytelling and brand activations, you'll help bring Givebutter to life in buttery-fresh and creative ways.

This role will also support content production related to Givebutter's flagship event and product launch, The Spread.
