Content Creator

Now-u is a non-profit website and app, launched in July 2020 with a mission to inform, involve and inspire people to help tackle some of the world's most pressing environmental and social problems related to i) human rights and welfare, ii) protecting the world around us, and iii) preserving our species and the planet.

What we are looking for (team needs)

We are looking for a highly motivated Content Creator to play a leading role in creating all social media content for Now-U. Successful applicants will likely be passionate about all things digital and looking to use their skills to help rapidly grow an audience, build a strong brand and drive engagement with social and environmental causes.

We are looking for someone confident in creating appealing visual assets, drafting compelling copy and scheduling regular posts across social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube and TikTok. Professional experience in social media marketing as well as graphic design, video creation and / or copywriting is likely to be beneficial, but is not required. Familiarity with analytics tools in order to assess the success of posts and iterate future posting to improve engagement is also desirable.

Successful applicants will be comfortable working alone and/or in a team on projects, and willing to support the marketing team with a wider set of activities including developing team strategy and identifying new opportunities. 

We hope whoever joins in this role will become a core part of the marketing team and stay at now-u for at least 6 months, if not longer. If this volunteer role excites you, we look forward to hearing from you, with your CV and a cover letter or short message as to why you would be a great fit for this role
