Content Creator

Job Summary

We are looking for a Content Creator who wants to make a difference for dogs with behavioral issues through powerful content. Together we work towards one clear mission: to create more understanding of dog behavior and give dogs a second chance.

You work from a clear content strategy that is developed by our Social Media Manager. You are responsible for the creative execution and take ownership of the production of high-quality content that seamlessly aligns with our brand identity and objectives. You execute the content strategy and assignments in coordination with both the Social Media Manager and the founder. When different priorities or instructions are given by the Social Media Manager and the founder, the founder is ultimately responsible and leading.

Ownership is central to this role. You receive clear responsibilities, goals, and expectations and then take responsibility for achieving them. You do not wait for someone to tell you what needs to happen, but see what is needed, take initiative, and ensure that it gets done.

Your responsibility does not stop at delivering content. You also look at the results, analyze what works and what can be improved, and adjust independently. You are responsible for improving your own work and take responsibility for achieving the agreed objectives and targets.

Our ideal content creator...

You don't need to receive a task every day. You see for yourself that a dog has been in the shelter for a long time and think: we need to do something about this. You walk to the staff, ask what the story is, schedule a number of recording moments, and independently build a content series that ultimately contributes to more visibility and hopefully a new home.

You see an opportunity, determine what is needed, and take the first step. You don't wait for someone to tell you exactly what to do.

Even when things do not go as planned, you take responsibility. Is there missing information, imagery, or approval? Then you follow up on it yourself. Is a project experiencing delays? Then you signal that and take action. Is a content result disappointing? Then you look at what can be improved and adjust your approach.

That is the ownership we are looking for: you know your responsibilities, understand the goals, and ensure independently that the result is achieved. You do not need to be constantly monitored or reminded. We trust that you take your responsibility and do everything you can to perform your work as well as possible, and where possible exceed the expectations.

As a employer that offers equal opportunities and is committed to a diverse and inclusive work environment, Animal’s Faith recognizes that a team with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences is essential for a strong, ethical, and successful organization.
