Social Media Content Creator

As a Social Media Content Creator, you work as a part-time freelancer (20h/week) to support Paradox’s digital marketing efforts across all assigned brands. Your main focus is creating high-performing social content, especially short-form video, while also producing static assets, managing publishing schedules, and reporting on performance.

You work closely with the Social Media Specialist within the Digital Marketing team, who assigns priorities across multiple Paradox brands. You support content creation, publishing, and calendar execution for our official channels (Instagram, TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, Threads, etc.) with an always-on mindset toward engagement, reach and awareness.

This is a role for someone who lives on the internet, a meme-fluent, chronically online, brain-rot-social native who not only instinctively understands social media culture, trends, and formats, but also breathes Paradox games and knows how to make content that speaks to those communities and players.

You are paid as a freelance worker, based on effective work hours reported, normally not exceeding 20 hours per week, at an hourly rate defined in your contract.
