Who We Are
We’re Chomps, the fastest-growing snack brand in the U.S. and we’re reimagining snacking. Our meat snacks are made using high-quality proteins, no sugar, and real ingredients – because we believe snacking should be simple, delicious, and convenient. Chomps can be found in over 30,000 stores nationwide with a strong e-commerce presence. Our mission is to inspire, educate, and fuel our community with accessible, real food that doesn’t compromise on taste.
Traits of a Chompian
If you’ve been called scrappy, resourceful, and persistent, then you might just be a Chompian. You’re a team player who’s self-motivated and action-oriented. You’re committed to delivering efficiency and accuracy, and you happen to be great at proactive cross-functional communication. You’re a critical thinker and a natural problem solver who enjoys details, research, and data. You take initiative and complete ownership of everything you do, and you’ll go the extra mile for your team, consumers, and audience. You’re hungry to learn with a passion to grow and improve every day. You also take a keen interest in health, fitness, and nutrition. Sound like you? Then we want to meat you.
**We will be accepting applications through Monday January 19th, 5pm CT. Due to the number of applications we receive, we are unable to accept any applications outside of this time frame or from any other source.
What You Will Do
This role is for a hands-on visual storyteller and leader who lives at the intersection of creator and producer. This is not a social-only content creation role. This is a deeply integrated role that will impact our creative flow across all touch points. You'll shoot, direct, and edit content yourself while also leading an editor/motion designer and managing small-scale productions from concept to delivery. You'll work directly with our VP, Creative to establish what world-class content looks like for Chomps and then actually make it happen.
We're looking for someone who is equally comfortable behind the camera as they are leading a team; a player-coach who has strong opinions about what makes content work hard for the brand, the technical skills to execute at the highest level, and the experience to build a sustainable content engine. If bringing "never-before-done" ideas to life within scope while also helping us build a “what if we…” system of creativity excites you, then keep reading.
Responsibilities
- Content Creation (60% of your time)
- Direct and shoot stills and video for social media, paid advertising, e-commerce, packaging, and brand campaigns.
- Collaborate with cross functional leads to gain a deep understanding of strategic content needs across teams.
- Lead on-location and studio shoots from concept through delivery — alongside the VP, Creative and Operations Manager you’ll help manage logistics, talent, equipment, and creative execution.
- Produce content that's optimized for each platform's format, algorithm, and audience behavior.
- Bring concepts to life through directing; whether that's working with talent, capturing product, or creating lifestyle content.
- Generate high-quality asset banks (stills, b-roll, lifestyle footage) that can be repurposed across channels.
- Jump into editing when needed.
- Test new formats, styles, and techniques to keep Chomps content fresh and culturally relevant.
- Content Production Leadership (40% of your time)
- Scope projects, manage timelines and budgets, identify when to produce in-house versus hire external partners, and ensure every production runs smoothly from brief to delivery.
- Lead an editor/motion designer, providing creative direction and helping them grow their craft.
- Establish repeatable workflows for content production so we can move fast without reinventing the wheel every time.
- Work closely with the VP of Creative and Creative Operations Manager to shape the production work-flows and build a rolodex of trusted partners.
- Keep a pulse on what's resonating in the world that feels relevant for our brand – and have a POV on how that can be applied to our world building.
- Highly organized with strong communication skills and attention to detail.
- Collaborate with freelance producers when large scale productions are required.
