Content Creator (Social Media) - Contract

At Apartment List, we’re on a mission to find every renter a home they love at the value they deserve. Finding the right place to live is one of the most important, time-consuming and expensive decisions that all of us make. Getting it right matters. We’ve helped over 1 million families find a home they love, and we’re just getting started.

As a Content Creator (Social Media) at Apartment List, you will play a key role on our Brand Marketing team in developing and executing our organic social media strategy. Reporting to our Sr. Brand Marketing Manager, you will create short-term video content, manage our renter social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest), and facilitate external creator and influencer relationships.

Social Media is one of the few channels where we can continue to engage with renters throughout their lifecycle. As our first-ever in-house content creator, you will help us up level these channels by creating highly engaging content and building a strong renter community. You will work closely with key cross-functional teams and turn organic social into a strategic business lever for driving brand awareness and renter demand. The ideal candidate is highly creative, nimble, and self-motivated, has excellent communication skills, and is a team player.

*** This is a part-time, contract position (25 hours per week), with potential to increase hours at a later date. The target pay range for this position is $40/hr - $50/hr. This position is primarily remote, but preference will be given to Bay Area candidates for in-person collaboration opportunities.

Here’s what you’ll do as part of the team:

• Content Creation: Create entertaining, “of-the-moment” video content that resonates with our audience across Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest.
• Content Calendar & Platform Management: Build monthly content calendars, craft post copy, and schedule content based on platform best practices.
• Influencer Marketing: Source, build relationships, and manage day-to-day communications with content creators (both video & photo) that align with our target audience.
• Community Building: Craft on-brand responses to comments and engage with like-minded accounts and platforms to build our renter community. Don’t worry, our Renter Success team will handle any product or customer service-related inquiries.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal Design, Performance Marketing, PR, Content, Product, and Renter Success teams to create social-first content and support their various initiatives.

Here are the skills and experience you’ll need to be successful:
