Social Media + Content Lead - LA

Vilgain is a European nutrition brand built on real ingredients and uncompromising standards. We recently launched in the US with Los Angeles as our proof-of-concept market, and we are looking for a Content Creator who lives and breathes TikTok, genuinely loves food and fitness, and knows how to turn nutrition stories into content people actually want to watch.

This is not a content production role wearing a manager’s hat. It’s a true ownership role. You’ll set the strategy, build the content engine, manage TikTok and Instagram and produce content yourself when needed. You’re as comfortable mapping a quarterly content plan as you are filming a TikTok in the morning.

We’re TikTok-first, LA-anchored and building from zero. The right person is excited by that - not intimidated by it! 💥

Channel Strategy & Performance

• Set US social strategy across TikTok and Instagram, with a clear content calendar and growth plan

• Own channel KPIs: follower growth, content reach, community engagement

• Launch and run Vilgain US TikTok account from zero

• Track, report, and iterate on performance weekly

Content Creation & Ideation

• Concept, shoot, edit, and publish short-form video content built for TikTok performance

• Bring a constant stream of fresh, platform-native ideas - hooks, formats, series, trends

• Create content formats including talking-head, voiceover, educational explainer, product-led, and street-style interview

• Translate product benefits, ingredient education, and nutrition concepts into content people actually want to watch

• Create static and graphic content including carousels, story frames, and branded graphics - directing HQ’s design support when needed

• Write hooks, captions, and light scripts that feel native to each platform

• Tools: CapCut, Instagram Edits, Canva, Figma, or similar

Brand & Editorial Consistency

• Maintain a consistent visual and editorial tone across all US channels

• Stay ahead of trends, editing styles, and storytelling formats while keeping content true to the Vilgain brand

• Partner with the HQ creative team on assets, brand voice, and campaign needs - you brief and direct, they support production

• Support campaign launches, TikTok shop activations, and always-on brand storytelling

Collaboration & Community

• Work closely with the US Influencer & Community Lead to align creator content with channel strategy

• Coordinate with the Marketplaces & E-Commerce Manager on TikTok shop content

• Manage day-to-day community interactions, comments, and DMs in US hours and voice

• Report weekly to the Head of US Market on performance, learnings, and pipeline

Required

• 4-7 years of social media experience, with at least 2 years owning channel strategy (not just content production)

• Deep fluency in TikTok — formats, culture, editing styles, and what drives performance

• Hands-on content creation chops - you concept, shoot, edit, and publish yourself

• Comfortable reading paid social performance data and using it to inform organic strategy

• A genuine passion for food, nutrition, fitness, or sports nutrition - you are the target audience

• Strong ideation skills — you come to the table with ideas, not just execution

• Comfortable on camera in talking-head, voiceover, and direct-to-camera formats

• Proficient in CapCut, Instagram Edits, Canva, Figma, or similar content tools

• Strong eye for framing, pacing, lighting, and overall creative quality

• Organized, self-directed, and able to manage multiple workstreams without hand-holding

Nice to Have

• Experience launching social presence for a CPG, food or supplement brand

• TikTok Shop or social commerce experience

• Background in creator-led, founder-led, or street-style interview formats

• Working knowledge of nutrition, ingredients, or wellness trends

• Existing LA creator and community network
