We are The Food Group—and as the name suggests, we have a passion for food and for our marquee clients who shape the food industry. Speaking of our clients, we are growing with exciting new work, and aiming to put more firepower into our content production with a Social Media Content Producer to help create killer content for our social and digital channels that will elevate several key accounts.

We’re looking for someone with the perfect balance of analytical and creative chops (pun intended) who’s hungry (pun intended, again) to dive right in and exceed digital creation needs. Ready on day one to collaborate closely with social, content and creative teams to help translate high-level B2B and B2C strategies into engaging social-first creative concepts that stand out on any device, large or small, for an audience that’s always on the move.

This position requires a background that’s traversed the vast digital production landscape — from foraging for free stock to rudimentary animation to shooting and editing. With a portfolio that showcases a breadth of not only captivating, dynamic and beautiful content, but a passion for its creation. We take pride in our work and we want you to too.

But beyond what you may have done in the past, we’re just as interested in what you’re capable of bringing to the future. That’s why it’s key that you have a deep understanding of the evolving digital and social media landscapes. Because that knowledge can be used to think strategically about where the space is moving long term and push us to be more innovative in the work we produce (okay, that was the last food pun).
