About Plant People
Plant People was born when two friends chose the healing potential of functional mushrooms and herbs over pharmaceuticals during their recovery from traumatic spinal surgeries. What began as a personal journey back to health became a mission to bring the power of plants to more people.
Today, we make delicious, clean and effective gummies designed to help people sleep deeper, focus better, feel calmer and live well. We’re proud to be B Corp and Climate Neutral certified, ranked #1 supplement brand at Whole Foods Market, Target, Erewhon, REI, JetBlue, Sprouts and other forward-thinking partners nationwide.
We’re one of the fastest-growing supplement brands in the country — and we’re just getting started. We’re looking for ambitious, thoughtful teammates to help us scale what comes next.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Content Strategist who believes great content earns a brand a place in people’s lives. Not through polished campaigns, but through real, resonant stories that make someone stop, feel something, and come back for more.
This is a build role. We don’t have a ready-made content machine waiting for you. You’re coming in to create it. That means sourcing and building relationships with photographers, videographers, and collaborators from scratch, developing systems, and setting the strategic direction that makes it all work together. You’re high-agency by nature. You see a gap and you fill it. You know how to move without a playbook because you’ve written a few of your own.
You’re a strong storyteller with a sharp editorial eye, and you understand how platforms actually work—what formats are winning, how algorithms behave, and when to pivot. You’ve created content yourself, which is exactly why people trust your direction. You don’t just brief from theory. You brief from experience.
What You’ll Do
* Own Plant People’s social content strategy across Instagram and TikTok—defining how we show up and what stories we tell
* Build our content engine from the ground up—sourcing and managing photographers, videographers, and creative collaborators
* Develop clear, actionable briefs that enable fast, high-quality execution
* Create content yourself when needed—shooting on iPhone, editing in CapCut, and moving quickly without a crew
* Partner cross-functionally (Brand, Paid, Digital) to ensure content aligns with campaigns and informs ad creative
* Collaborate on influencer and UGC strategy—from sourcing to briefing to performance
* Manage the content calendar across launches, campaigns, retail moments, and cultural opportunities
* Track performance and iterate quickly—refining hooks, formats, and cadence based on data
* Stay ahead of trends and platform shifts—knowing when to participate and when to protect the brand
* Maintain a sharp, consistent editorial voice across all content and touchpoints
Qualifications
* 3+ years in social/content, including 1–2 years in-house at a brand (CPG, wellness, beauty, or DTC preferred)
* Experience both creating content yourself and directing others—your portfolio reflects both
* Strong strategic foundation—comfortable building content calendars, channel strategies, and briefs tied to business goals
* Hands-on creator—confident shooting on iPhone and editing in tools like CapCut
* Deep fluency in Instagram and TikTok—understanding what performs and what feels native
* Strong writer with a sharp editorial eye across captions, hooks, and scripts
* Experience managing creators and UGC—from sourcing to briefing to performance oversight
* Data-informed mindset—you create for engagement and conversion, not just aesthetics
* Self-starter with high ownership in a fast-paced, scrappy environment
* Genuine interest in wellness, functional ingredients, and Plant People’s mission
