We need a Maker. We need to level up our social media game, particularly in newer channels, targeted mostly at a younger demographic. TikTok / Reels, Snap, maybe Pinterest. Maybe something we don’t even know about yet, but YOU do. Because you’re obsessed, you’re on the pulse, you’re not just scrolling through influencers, maybe you are influencing yourself. 

The channel doesn’t really matter though, does it? Good content is good content. And good content will be seen, heard, shared, talked about. We need to make good content. We need someone who can think and make stuff quickly. A lot of it, with consistency. Then pivot and make some more. We need someone who can take the essence of our brand and help communicate the values and Why behind Root Insurance so we get more people to follow us, engage with us and talk to their friends about us. 

We are okay with failing and testing and messing and tweaking and trying. As long as we learn from it and then double down on the stuff that’s working. You need to help us glean insights from our content and help direct where we take it next. 

We want to become the first insurance company in the world that people actually WANT to follow on social media. Can you help us make that happen?

• Develop unique, ownable strategies for various platforms
• Use a variety of tactics and mediums to create posts

What we're looking for.

• Never-ending amount of ideas 
• Solid writing skills 
• Video and/or animation skills 
• Insatiable desire to understand the “WHY”

• Someone who can lead and kickstart ideation but knows that a small team can make ideas better, and is open to sharing and lots of feedback.

Who we are.
