We're looking for a UGC Content Creator to create engaging, authentic, and high-performing video content for our digital platforms. You'll bring ideas and scripts to life through creative storytelling, character interpretation, visual hooks, and attention-grabbing content designed to connect with our audience.

This is a great opportunity for a creative content creator who understands social media, enjoys being on camera, and knows how to turn scripts and ideas into compelling short-form video content.

What you'll do

• Create engaging UGC-style video content for social media, marketing campaigns, advertisements, and other digital channels.
• Follow provided scripts and confidently bring different characters, scenarios, and concepts to life on camera.

• Produce creative content beyond standard talking-head videos, using different locations, characters, props, camera angles, transitions, and storytelling techniques.
• Use strong visual, verbal, and viral hooks to capture viewers' attention within the first few seconds.
• Research social media trends, viral content formats, and emerging UGC styles and apply relevant ideas to new content.
• Record high-quality video and audio using appropriate camera, lighting, and microphone equipment.
• Collaborate with the marketing and creative teams to understand campaign objectives and translate them into effective UGC concepts.
• Record multiple variations of content, hooks, scripts, and calls to action for testing.
• Incorporate feedback and make revisions to content when required.
• Maintain consistent quality and meet agreed content deadlines.

What we're looking for

• Strong on-camera presence and confidence communicating naturally on video.
• Ability to follow scripts while delivering lines naturally rather than sounding scripted.
• Ability to interpret and portray different characters, personalities, and scenarios.
• Strong understanding of UGC and short-form video content.
• Experience creating content for platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or similar platforms.
• Understanding of visual hooks, viral hooks, storytelling, pacing, and viewer retention.
• Creative mindset with the ability to turn simple concepts into engaging videos.
• Strong camera and microphone quality suitable for professional content creation.
• Ability to independently plan and record content.
• Strong spoken and written English communication.
• American accent preferred.
• Availability to work and collaborate during Chicago business hours (Central Time).

Nice to have

• Previous experience creating UGC for technology, SaaS, B2B, trucking, logistics, or transportation brands.
• A dedicated home studio or professional content creation setup.
• Access to a green screen and appropriate lighting equipment.
• Access to relevant filming locations such as trucks, truck stops, gas stations, warehouses, garages, or logistics environments.
• Experience developing scripts or contributing creative concepts for UGC campaigns.
• Experience creating paid social media advertisements or performance marketing content.
• Basic video editing skills.
• Familiarity with content performance metrics and A/B testing different hooks, formats, and calls to action.

Requirements

• 1+ year of UGC content creation experience, ideally working with technology or B2B brands.
• A portfolio or examples of previous UGC/video content demonstrating strong on-camera ability and creativity.
• Reliable camera, microphone, lighting, and internet setup for producing high-quality content remotely.
• Ability to create more than traditional talking-head videos and confidently experiment with characters, locations, props, and creative formats.

• Reliable availability during Chicago working hours.
