Social Media Content Creator & Marketing Coordinator

With Community Events & Executive

Support

Hydra Pest Control is looking for a creative, organized, funny person to tell our story. You'll make content people actually want to watch and help keep our marketing, events, and office projects running. This is not an internship: you'll own recurring work and see it pay off across our three branches.

You don't need to be an influencer or appear on camera, but you'll help other people feel natural in front of one.

Social media content (top priority)

• Come up with ideas, then film and edit short videos, photos, stories, and captions
• Plan and keep a content calendar and a tidy asset library
• Track engagement and performance, and use what you learn
• Capture field stories, staff profile photos, and training and onboarding videos
• Bring a good, brand-safe sense of humor to everything we post

Hands-on marketing and support

• Design flyers and print pieces in Canva or similar tools
• Coordinate shirt orders, office supplies, and project materials, including assembly and setup
• Help coordinate hiring and onboarding, and provide occasional executive support

Community events

• Find booth opportunities and staff booths for each branch: Gila Valley, Sierra Vista, and White Mountains
• Travel to branches and events as needed

Schedule and pay

• 30-40 hours per week, Monday-Friday, flexible. Some days start early or run late for shoots and events. We plan to grow this into a 40-hour role.
• $17-$25+/hr depending on experience; training rate $17-$18/hr
• Milestone reviews with opportunities for raises
• Gas card provided for in-town and out-of-town content travel
• Equipment, computer, and editing software provided

Benefits

• Medical starting the 1st of the month after 60 days, with Hydra contributing up to 50% of the employee-only premium
• Optional dental, vision, life ($25k-$100k), and supplemental insurance at group rates (employee-paid)
• SIMPLE IRA after 6 months, with a match up to 2%
• 6 paid holidays after 6 months
• Paid sick time, personal days, and vacation that grows with tenure
• Discounted pest control after 90 days
• Discretionary performance and referral bonus programs
• Team parties and meals

What you bring

• Video editing experience, ideally Final Cut Pro (other editors are fine if your work is strong)
• Digital camera experience: framing, lighting, and usable audio
• Comfort navigating social media platforms and Meta Business Suite
• Brand-safe humor and good judgment
• Clear writing and a good eye for design
• Reliable follow-through with tasks and vendors
• Comfort with the public and traveling to branch events
• Discretion with confidential personnel records
• Valid driver's license and the ability to drive to branches, events, and shoots

A plus: hands-on experience growing Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok accounts, event coordination, print or apparel vendors, and small-business work. No degree, set number of years, or follower count required.
