Social Media Content Creator - Johnston & Murphy

Help Shape the Voice of an Iconic American Brand

For more than 175 years, Johnston & Murphy has helped generations look and feel their best. Today, were evolving that legacy for a new generation through modern footwear, apparel, and accessories-and were looking for someone who can help tell that story.

Were not looking for someone to simply make posts or follow a content calendar. Were looking for a creator and storyteller who can help turn a 175+ year-old American brand into a modern social presence people genuinely want to follow.

Someone whos naturally curious, loves finding stories, and sees content opportunities everywhere. Someone who can walk into one of our stores, spend time with our team, or unpack a new product and immediately think, "People would love to see this."

Youll help shape how J&M shows up every day-uncovering the people, products, craftsmanship, culture, and moments that make our brand worth talking about.

What Youll Do

Youll own content from idea to execution.

Some days youll be filming behind the scenes at a campaign shoot. Other days youll be interviewing store associates, styling products, capturing craftsmanship, covering an event, or jumping on a trend that fits our brand.

Youll create content that feels authentic, interesting, and worth sharing-not simply because it was made for social, but because theres a genuinely good story behind it.

Youll also help us build relationships with creators, customers, and partners who can amplify our story in ways traditional advertising cant.

Youll spend your time:

• Creating photo and video content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and whatever comes next.
• Shooting everything from polished campaign moments to quick, spontaneous iPhone videos.
• Editing short-form video with a strong feel for pacing, storytelling, and platform trends.
• Finding interesting stories across our products, stores, associates, customers, and company culture.
• Helping grow our creator and influencer community through authentic relationships.
• Covering launches, events, campaign shoots, and behind-the-scenes moments in real time.
• Working closely with our marketing and creative teams to bring campaigns to life across social.
• Bringing fresh ideas to the table and helping shape what J&M looks and sounds like online.
• Looking at whats working, learning from it, and making the next piece even better.

You Might Be a Great Fit if You...

• Love creating content and are constantly thinking about your next idea.
• Have experience creating social content for a lifestyle, fashion, retail, or consumer brand.
• Can shoot, edit, and tell a great story without needing a large production crew.
• Have a strong eye for photography, video, design, and visual storytelling.
• Understand social trends but know the difference between chasing trends and building a lasting brand.
• Have worked with creators or influencers and enjoy building relationships.
• Are comfortable talking to people, asking questions, and finding stories others might miss.
• Stay curious about culture, style, and whats happening online.
• Have a portfolio that demonstrates your ability to create compelling, platform-native content.

Experience and Skills Youll Need to Have

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Digital Media, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
• Proven ability to create visually compelling content that drives engagement and earned media amplification.
• Deep understanding of current social media trends, creator ecosystems, and community-building best practices.
• Strong photo/video production and editing skills (Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut, Lightroom, etc.).
• Excellent communication, organizational, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Passion for fashion, design, and creative storytelling.

Even Better if You Have...

• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut, Lightroom, or similar editing tools.
• Experience shooting both iPhone and professional camera content.
• An interest in menswear, craftsmanship, design, or lifestyle brands.
• Experience producing documentary-style or behind-the-scenes content.
