Veloci is bringing a fractional content creator onto the team in Austin, Texas. This is a role meant for someone excited to have a camera in hand, two or three days a week, in the places runners actually are. We’re looking for someone ready for the opportunity to plan, capture, and test content with a fast-growing brand.

That is the job.

Veloci Running is a Texas-based running shoe brand. Our founder ran D1 at Rice and through fitting runners in specialty stores, he watched the same thing happen over and over: people picking between a shoe shaped like their foot and a shoe with the drop, cushion, and support they were used to. Anatomically-fitting foot comfort was limited to the more minimalist brands, and he wanted to change that. Three shoes in nineteen months, and we’re seeing the growing impact our shoes are having on a variety of fitness journeys today.

So we are hiring one Content Creator to own our short-form video. Camera in your hand with a drive to test, ship, and iterate rapidly.

WHAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY DO

Concept, shoot and edit short-form videos every week for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, with Reels as the north star.

Build for distribution. We care about content the algorithm carries to people who have never heard of us, not content that only makes sense to people who already follow us. First two seconds are the whole ballgame and you know it.

Open to showing up on camera. Talking to camera, demoing the shoe, hosting, reacting, hanging around the run club.

Film on location: our Austin office, local run clubs, races, expos, the occasional 6 a.m. start.

Keep your ear on running culture and on short-form culture, and turn things around in a day when the moment calls for it.

Run against a shared content calendar without needing to be walked through it shot by shot.

Watch what performs, tell us what you are learning, and let it change what you make next.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You have made short-form video that performed. For a brand, or for yourself. Send the numbers with the work. Getting reach organically is not a mystery to you, it is something you can explain.

You like being on camera. You are natural talking into a lens and you are comfortable with us running paid ads featuring you.

You can take a video from idea to posted by yourself. Shooting, editing, pacing, hooks, captions, sound. CapCut or Premiere is fine, we care about the cut and not the software.

You love running. You know the shoe discourse, you have opinions about the racing scene, and you can talk about all of it on camera without sounding like you looked it up an hour ago.

You are in Austin. Plan on two or three days a week with the team or out shooting.

You would rather ship five good pieces this week than one perfect one next month.

Nice to have: an audience of your own, direct response or performance video experience, photography, or a background making running content specifically.

THE DETAILS

Hours: 20 to 25 per week.

Location: Austin, TX. In person for a good share of it.

Compensation: competitive based on experience.

Growth: part-time start, with a path to full-time as we scale the content system.

Opportunity: to be a involved in a team scaling brand to have a lasting impact on the running community

To apply: submit through LinkedIn with your resume with clear quantitative impact and accomplishments in past experiences. Portfolio links appreciated.
