Job Description

AI Native Creative (Contract)

Remote, US

THE ROLE

This is basically a one-person AI content studio inside BARK.

You'll work directly with the VP of Brand and Chief Creative Officer to turn raw ideas into finished creative across social, product launches, landing pages, campaigns, and whatever weird opportunity showed up that morning.

Sometimes the brief is fully formed. Sometimes it's a sentence in Slack. Either way: you make something real out of it fast.

This starts as a contract role. We're intentionally keeping it small while we find the right people. If there's a fit, we expect that to become obvious quickly.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

  • Turn ideas into finished creative quickly — often within days, sometimes within hours
  • Create short-form video for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, paid social, launches, and brand moments
  • Use AI tools to generate visuals, motion, concepts, edits, VO, scripts, worlds, and content systems
  • Build full asset suites across video, static, motion, landing pages, and PDPs
  • Adapt creative per platform instead of making one thing and resizing it 12 times
  • Experiment constantly with new tools and workflows
  • Bring your own ideas. A lot of them.
  • Operate independently without waiting for perfect process

THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF…

  • You're already living in AI creative tools every day.
  • You probably have some combination of Runway, Midjourney, Claude, Flux, Veo, Kling, ElevenLabs, or whatever launched last week open right now.
  • You care about taste as much as speed.
  • You hate AI slop.
  • You see most AI-generated content and immediately know why it doesn't work.
  • You like making things people replay, send to friends, or comment "wait how did they make this?"
  • You're not precious about creative. You ship, learn, remix, improve, repeat.
  • And yes — you genuinely love dogs. That part matters more than you think.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • A portfolio with range, speed, and point of view
  • Strong AI-native creative instincts
  • Fluency in modern AI creative workflows
  • Video editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, etc.)
  • Deep understanding of internet culture and short-form storytelling
  • Someone who can move from idea to execution without a giant team around them

Bonus points if you've worked inside a brand with a distinct voice and know how to make creative that still feels cohesive while moving fast.

TOOLS YOU MIGHT USE

Runway · Veo · Midjourney · Flux · Kling · ElevenLabs · CapCut · Premiere · Claude · Weavy · whatever dropped three days ago

IMPORTANT

  • This is not a traditional social media role.
  • This is not "prompting."
  • This is not posting templates into a content calendar.
  • We're looking for someone who treats AI like a creative instrument and knows how to turn speed into original brand storytelling.
  • If that sounds like your natural habitat, we'd love to see your work.

THE DETAILS

  • Contract role
  • US-based candidates only
  • Expected weekly hours: 20
  • Initial engagement length: 3 months
  • Compensation range: $80-100/hour or retainer
