Why Native Shoes?
Native Shoes is inspired by the past and built for the future. We design lightweight, purpose-driven footwear for families of feet, small to big, who are curious, playful, and always on the move.Our brand is optimistic, human, and a little unexpected.

At Native Shoes, our values guide how we work:
• Team: We build together and support one another.
• Ownership: We act like owners and take pride in our work.
• Curiosity: We ask, “what if?” and explore new ideas.
• Belief: We believe in the possibility of greatness, in our brand and ourselves.
About You
• You’re a hands-on content creator who knows how to turn ideas into high-performing social and ad content.
• You’ve done this before; you can shoot, edit, write, and post without needing a ton of direction.
• You understand what makes content work, not just look good.
• You’re comfortable testing ideas, iterating quickly, and balancing brand storytelling with performance.
• You’re also eager to expand your scope—whether that’s managing creators, exploring new platforms, or contributing to campaign ideas.
• You’re organized, proactive, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can take ownership and move quickly.
You’ll report to our Senior Manager, Partnerships and work closely with the broader marketing team to bring Native Shoes to life across social in a way that feels natural, joyful, and unmistakably on brand.
What You’ll Do
Content Creation & Editing

• Comfortable being on camera
• Produce both organic content and performance-driven creative for paid ads
• Develop multiple variations of content (hooks, formats, edits) to support testing and optimization
• Add captions, graphics, and platform-native elements to maximize engagement
Social Media Execution
• Own day-to-day posting across social platforms, ensuring consistency and quality
• Write clear, engaging captions and on-screen copy aligned with Native Shoes’ brand voice
• Maintain and execute against a content calendar tied to campaigns and key moments
• Engage with community (comments, DMs) to build brand affinity
Content Performance & Optimization
• Track performance of posts and videos, identifying what’s working and what’s not

This Role Is for You If

• You’re comfortable filming and editing regularly
• You understand TikTok and Instagram natively—not just strategically
• You’d rather post something real today than perfect next week
• You’re curious, proactive, and don’t wait to be told what to create
This Role Is Not for You If
• You only want to plan content, not create it
• You’re uncomfortable editing video
• You prefer rigid direction over creative experimentation

• Strong video editing skills (CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, etc.)
• Experience creating content for TikTok and/or Instagram

Bonus Points If You
• Have worked in fashion, footwear, lifestyle, or DTC brands
• Are a creator yourself or have grown a personal or brand account
• Have experience repurposing creator or influencer content
• Understand what makes content perform organically before it’s boosted
Growth & Opportunity
This role has room to grow as Native Shoes scales. Over time, there is potential to evolve into a Senior Social or Content Lead position with increased creative ownership and strategic input.
