The role:
Om Mushroom Superfood is looking for a content creator and graphic designer to own the day-to-day creative for our Instagram and TikTok. You will shoot, edit and design a steady stream of low-fi, social-native content, around 30 short-form videos a month plus supporting graphics, that makes functional mushrooms feel approachable, fun and part of everyday life.
This is a hands-on maker role, not a strategy or management role. You are the person with the phone in your hand, the product on your counter and CapCut open. Strategy, content calendar and community management are handled by our social lead; you bring the ideas to life.
Type
Freelance / contract or part-time employee
Location
Remote, US-based (occasional in-person shoots if local to Chicago)
Output
~30 videos/month + ~8–12 static/graphic assets
Platforms
Instagram (Reels, Stories, carousels) and TikTok Videos
Reports to
Social Media Lead
Start date
October 26th 2026
How to apply
Send 3–5 links to short-form videos you made to Ally@ommushrooms.com (your own account or client work), one or two graphic examples, and a two-line note on a trend you'd use for a mushroom coffee brand this week. Email Ally with the subject line "Om Content Creator." No cover letter needed.
What you'll do
Shoot and edit approximately 30 short-form videos a month (Reels and TikToks, 7–60 seconds) from briefs provided by the social lead, plus your own pitched ideas.
Appear on camera or recruit friends and family as needed for POV, GRWM, taste-test, and talking-head formats; we are happy for you to be a recurring face of the brand.
Turn trends around fast: when a sound or format is peaking, we want an Om version within 24–48 hours.
Design supporting static assets: carousels, Story frames, text-overlay graphics, meme templates, and simple product call-outs in Canva or Adobe, on-brand but not corporate.
Add captions, on-screen text, hooks, and cover frames to every video, optimized separately for Instagram and TikTok.
Keep a running shot library (b-roll of product, pours, scoops, packaging, mushrooms) that we can cut from later.
Deliver organized, labeled files on a shared schedule so the calendar never runs dry.
Join a short weekly creative sync and a monthly review of what performed and why.
Who we're looking for
Must-haves A portfolio or personal account showing low-fi short-form video you shot and edited yourself.
Fluency in CapCut (or Premiere / DaVinci) and Canva or Adobe for quick graphics.
You live on TikTok and Reels: you can tell us what's trending today and why it works.
Comfortable on camera, or comfortable directing someone who is.
Strong instinct for hooks, pacing, and captions; you know the first second is everything.
Organized enough to hit a 30-video month without burning out: batching, shot lists, labeled folders.
Able to take a brief, run with it, and also push back with a better idea.
Nice-to-haves Interest in wellness, functional foods, coffee culture, or fitness.
Food or drink content experience (pours, recipes, ASMR).
Basic motion graphics or lo-fi animation.
Experience working with a CPG or DTC brand.
About Om Mushroom and the content we make Om Mushroom makes functional mushroom superfoods: powders, capsules, mushroom coffee and drink mixes built on Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, Chaga and more, grown in Southern California.
Our customers use Om for focus, energy, immunity and calm, and they are curious, wellness-minded. The content that works for us is low-fi and real: a Lion's Mane latte poured in a kitchen with bad lighting, a "what I take before a 9am meeting" POV, a 12-second ASMR scoop-and-stir, a chaotic taste test, a myth-busting talking-head, a trend sound with a mushroom twist.
Phone-shot. Captioned. Posted fast. Polished studio content is not the brief.
