Brand Content Creator

Christchurch HQ · Full-time (part-time considered) · $60k–$80k + your kit, sorted

A tired backyard turned into the family’s favourite spot. A bare school field turned into an all-weather court. A dog’s first zoomies on their brand-new lawn.

We create moments like that every week, right across the country. Most of them end up as a quick photo on one of our installers’ iPhone 11s.

We’re looking for the creative who’ll bring our content into 2026.

SmartGrass is New Zealand’s premium artificial grass and sports court specialist, with teams in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, and big plans beyond that. We’re the best at what we do, and we need you to create content that shows it.

You’re the one-person content studio behind the growing SmartGrass brand. Idea, shoot, edit, write, post.

• Scroll-stopping Reels, TikToks and YouTube videos
• Project and product photography, including before-and-afters that do the selling for us
• Recording customer and team stories
• LinkedIn posts, website articles and press releases with personality
• Training videos for our team

About 30% of your week is on site, chasing golden hour and key projects. The rest is at our Christchurch HQ in prep and post-production. You’ll have in-house and outside specialists to call on when a project needs extra hands.

You’ll be building something. This is the first role in our content team, so you’ll help shape how it runs and what kit it needs. You’ll work alongside the business owners at head office and see every side of SmartGrass, from sales and installs to recruitment.

• AI tools as your secret weapon
• A modern portfolio across video, photography and writing that you’re proud of
• A solid grasp of marketing principles and what makes content successful
• The ability to shoot and edit your own work (DaVinci Resolve preferred)
• Captions that land as well as your Reels do
• Spot the story before anyone asks you to
• The ability to get a homeowner, principal or installer looking natural on camera

Bonus points for graphic design, website editing, or running Google and Meta ads. Short on years but big on talent? We’d love to see your portfolio.

• $60,000–$80,000, depending on skills and experience
• The latest kit: gimbal, mic, phone, laptop, editing software and a drone. We invest in our people and our gear
• A work vehicle for site days (or mileage if your car’s already a mobile studio)
• Full-time preferred, with part-time possible for the right person
• Occasional travel to projects around New Zealand and our Wellington and Auckland teams
• A front-row seat as our marketing team grows, with a path all the way to leading it

Apply with your portfolio or showreel. Then tell us: which brand is absolutely killing it with content right now, and why?

A full New Zealand driver’s licence and the right to work in New Zealand are required.
