Lead Creator, Brand Social at Ladder (Austin, TX)
Ladder· Austin, TX·
Role details
Job description
Ladder is hiring the face and voice of brand social for the world's best fitness app. Not a spokesperson reading someone else's script — a creator with a real point of view, a body of work that speaks for itself, and the aura to hold an audience's attention.
You will be the personality our audience looks to for series education, product updates and a behind-the-scenes glimpse of day-to-day life at Ladder. The work is to make training on Ladder genuinely compelling, as well as be a spokeperson for new series, product updates and newly-released features. You'll concept it, shoot it, edit it, and publish it, sometimes in the same day. You’ll also be on set with coaches, helping them with their content, sharing the screen in the BTS, interviewing and talking with them too. Think TV-host for the Gen-Z social generation.
Most creators are building their own brand. This role is not that. Your creative output is focused on Ladder — our channels, our audience, our coaches and our celebrity partners. You'll have resources and reach that independent creators rarely get access to, and a team invested in making your work better. In return, we need your full focus. If you're looking for a role that supports a personal channel or leaves room for other brand partnerships, this isn't the right fit.
Report to: VP, Brand & Creative
What You'll Do:
- Serve as the recurring on-camera face of Ladder across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
- Own content end to end — concept, shoot, edit, publish — at the pace the platforms require
- Build and star in repeatable series that give an audience a reason to return, rather than one-off posts that disappear
- Translate real fitness expertise into content that holds attention: make progressive overload, program design, and training psychology land with people who have never encountered those ideas
- Create alongside our coaches and celebrity partners, and draw the best possible performance out of them on camera
- Read performance data closely and let it shape what you make next
- Partner with our Senior Manager, Brand Social and the wider creative team on the direction of the channel
Requirements
- Located in Austin, TX
- A real body of work — an audience you built yourself, with content you personally appeared in, wrote, shot, and edited
- On-camera presence that reads as a person, not a presenter. Articulate, genuinely funny, and comfortable carrying a piece on your own
- Expert-level iPhone production and CapCut editing. You can take an idea to a finished cut without a crew or a post house
- Deep, hands-on fitness knowledge with genuine strength training experience — you can speak credibly about programming because you have actually done it
- A sharp instinct for cultural trends and for how formats differ across platforms
- Willingness to be Ladder's creator exclusively. This is a full-time commitment to our brand, not a salary layered beneath a personal brand or competing partnerships
- A collaborative, no-ego approach to feedback and iteration
