Content Creator is needed in San Jose, United States.

Client: Furrtropolis

Location: San Jose, CA

Contract: Part-time, Freelance

Job Description

Furrtropolis is looking for a creative, energetic Part-Time Content Creator to bring our brand to life across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. This is an on-site role working around dogs daily—filming them, capturing their personalities, and creating fun, engaging content for our community. If you love dogs, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and know how to create high-quality content that performs well on social platforms, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Capture on-site photo and video content of dogs during daycare, boarding, and grooming.
• Create fun, engaging, trend-driven short-form videos (Reels/TikToks/Shorts).
• Produce occasional longer-form YouTube content (behind-the-scenes, enrichment days, grooming transformations, etc.).
• Film and edit same-day content—quick turnaround is essential.
• Manage and schedule posts across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube.
• Engage with our audience by responding to comments, messages, and tags.
• Track and report basic analytics to identify high-performing content.
• Stay updated on pet trends, TikTok/YouTube trends, and new creative ideas.
• Multitask efficiently in a busy environment where many things happen at once.
• Capture content in real time while coordinating with staff and navigating an active dog environment.
• Occasionally assist during in-house events (pictures, videos, behind-the-scenes coverage).

Requirements

• Experience creating content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or YouTube.
• Comfortable working in person around dogs of all sizes and energy levels.
• Strong filming and editing skills (mobile editing apps are fine).
• Ability to multitask and prioritize tasks in a fast-moving environment.
• Strong time-management skills—content often needs to be captured and posted the same day.
• A creative eye for storytelling, humor, and capturing personality.
• Basic understanding of social media algorithms and current trends.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills.
• Ability to work independently and stay focused in a busy setting.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in pet care, pet photography/videography, or animal handling.
• Graphic design or advanced video editing skills.
• Background in marketing, communications, or digital media.

Notes

• This is an on-site, hands-on role — not remote.
• Must be comfortable working around dogs daily (including energetic and large breeds).
• Part-time hours; flexible scheduling available.

Compensation

Pay: From $18.00 per hour

Expected hours: 20.0 – 30.0 per week
