About the role

  • Create social-first content end to end: concept → script → shoot → edit → publish → learn.
  • Develop, manage, and execute a dynamic content calendar across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, and emerging platforms, optimized by channel.
  • Translate Acorns’ mission, products, and everyday customer moments into relatable, scroll-stopping storytelling.
  • Build and evolve repeatable content formats (hooks, series, visual language) that scale.
  • Stay deeply plugged into culture, trends, and platform behavior—and move fast when something’s working.
  • Experiment relentlessly with tone, pacing, structure, and formats to improve retention, saves, shares, and conversation.
  • Capture and create a mix of:
  • UGC-style, in-house content
  • Educational explainers that don’t feel like ads
  • Behind-the-scenes moments (team, product, culture)
  • Trend-driven and reactive formats
  • CEO led content
  • Real customer moments
  • Partner with Marketing, Creative, Product, and Comms to turn strategy into content experiments—not overbuilt campaigns.
  • Engage directly with our community through comments, replies, stitches, and duets, helping social feel participatory, not broadcast.
  • Analyze performance and double down on what resonates, prioritizing learning and impact over polish.
  • Scope and manage creators as needed for social content and partnerships.

Requirements

  • 3+ years creating for social—for brands, personal channels, or freelance. You’ve shipped real work and can show content that made an impact.
  • A proven track record of reach and resonance, including short-form video with millions of views across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
  • Strong on-camera presence—authentic, confident, and human. You bring humor, clarity, and a distinct point of view.
  • End-to-end creator skills: you can concept, script, shoot, and edit with speed and intention.
  • A creator’s instincts with a strategist’s brain—you understand why something works, not just that it worked.
  • Self-starter energy: you don’t wait for perfect briefs. You see an opportunity and make something.
  • Deep empathy for our customers and a genuine belief in helping people grow their money with confidence.
  • Scrappy and resourceful—you can do a lot with a little and still make it feel great.
  • Organized, fast, and dependable—you ship consistently without chaos.
  • A belief that this work matters—you want what you create to connect to something bigger than clicks.
