Position Summary

The Content Creator will produce a serialized documentary campaign across LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube short-form to mark BlackHouse's 10-year anniversary. This is portfolio-defining work for the right creator, with editorial latitude across a decade of unseen archive material and BlackHouse's most ambitious creative project to date. They will work collaboratively with the President, CEO and Creative Director, and Operations Manager to source archive material, integrate live production capture, and deliver weekly content packages on schedule. This role requires expertise in documentary storytelling, short-form video editing, LinkedIn strategy, and editorial judgment in a fast-paced production environment.

Engagement Structure - The contract runs in two phases.

Phase 1 (June 1 to June 13). Archive audit, founder interviews, and development of the campaign arc, content templates, and 10-week posting calendar. Approximately 25 to 30 hours per week as the campaign foundation gets built.

Phase 2 (June 16 to August 31). Public campaign launch and execution. Weekly content packages are delivered per the campaign calendar. Approximately 20 to 25 hours per week in steady state, with peak volume during the August anniversary event week.

Volume. Approximately 7 to 10 finished deliverables per week across LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube short-form, plus story-day coverage on Instagram. Volume scales by week.

Key Responsibilities

1. Produce documentary-style content across five recurring franchises: Before the Doors Open, The Tribe, The Decade Download, The Walk, and The Build.
2. Conduct founder interviews with the President and CEO to source thought leadership content for The Decade Download franchise.
3. Source and curate archive material spanning a decade of BlackHouse productions for the year-by-year retrospective track.
4. Capture and incorporate live content from active 2026 productions including Camp Small Steps in June and July, Colorado in early August, and the August anniversary event in NYC, working from both on-site capture and footage delivered by internal BlackHouse production teams.
5. Develop the campaign arc, content templates, and a draft 10-week posting calendar during the first two weeks, anchored by an archive audit memo.
6. Edit short-form video content optimized for LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
7. Apply LinkedIn-specific content strategy and amplification tactics, given LinkedIn's role as the campaign's primary B2B channel.
8. Maintain light-touch performance reporting across LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube: weekly metrics pull with a short observation note, and a monthly one-page summary with recommendations. The role surfaces what the data shows; KPI strategy sits with the President.
9. Write captions, scripts, and copy aligned with BlackHouse brand voice, and adapt to founder voices for thought leadership content.
10. Manage content through the approval workflow: produce, route to the CEO and Creative Director for creative direction review, then to the President for AI optimization and final approval. Publish approved content across LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
11. Maintain the campaign content calendar and deliver weekly content packages on schedule across the 10-week public campaign launching June 16, 2026.

5. Write a 200 to 300 word LinkedIn post that BlackHouse could publish during our 10-year anniversary campaign, in the voice of one of our two founders. Choose one:

Bunmi Giwa-Bello, President. The operational and strategic anchor. Direct, specific, declarative. Comfortable taking a position.

Casandra Mead, CEO and Creative Director. The institutional and creative voice. Reflective, observational, oriented toward thought leadership.

Both founders share a brand voice that is warm, unflashy, and direct. No corporate filler. 

Topic. Repeat clients. BlackHouse's 10-year story is built on clients who came back. Some across 5 years, some across 9. Write about what that requires from an agency, and what it teaches you about your craft, your team, or your discipline as a service brand.

Applications submitted without a portfolio will not be considered.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with interviews starting the week of May 11, 2026.
