Houston based candidates preferred but remote flexible for the right candidate. Must be able to work CST hours if located in another timezone. OVERVIEW This role is a hands-on creative who combines strong writing and editorial skills with visual design and video capabilities to create compelling content for the company’s newsletters, email communications and website. Working as part of an integrated creative pod, this role takes communications briefs, ideas and source material and turns them into polished, finished content — often owning both the words and the visual execution. This is an early-career role. We’re looking for someone with 1–3 years of experience at an advertising agency or corporate creative studio who has already built a body of independent, conceptual work across writing, design and video — content you dreamed up and made yourself, not only assets produced against someone else’s brief. Success means taking ownership of finished editorial content, moving work from idea to execution quickly, and knowing when an assignment can be handled independently versus when deeper specialist expertise is needed.
