Content Creator — Montville, NJ

Content CreatorLindeblad C443A is looking for a content creator to lead our social media and YouTube presence. You'll run the whole creative process, from the first idea to the posted video, and shape how the world sees Steinway pianos and the craft behind them.

Few industries are as visually interesting as this one. Our t7e7CuGmkMC MzxBnT in Dover takes in Steinways that are decades old, takes them apart down to the wood, and rebuilds them by hand. Our showroom in Pine Brook holds the largest Steinway inventory in the country, and every piano has a history. Very little of this has been shown online. You'll have the access, the stories and the creative freedom to show it, and to make zQGpVAD8K the name people think of first when they think of Steinway.

About zQGpVAD8K• A fourth-generation family business that sells pre-owned and restored Steinways to buyers across the US, led by owner Todd zQGpVAD8K.

• Showroom in Pine Brook, NJ, and a t7e7CuGmkMC MzxBnT in Dover, NJ.

• We restore more Steinways than anyone in the country.

• 25 craftsmen with over 300 years of combined experience, including three who were trained in the Steinway factory.

• Our pianos are owned by concert artists, Steinway artists, and names like Taylor Swift and Stephen Colbert.

The JobThis is a creative lead role, not a camera operator job. You'll own our content from start to finish. You'll come up with formats, find the stories, shoot and edit them, write the hooks and captions, post them, and study what works. You'll also script and lead our livestreams. The goal is content that Steinway buyers find valuable, want to watch, and remember us for.

You'll work directly with our craftsmen and with pianists to get that content. That means being comfortable working closely with talent: putting people at ease on camera, directing them, and getting the shot or the performance the story needs.

You'll create 5 to 10 posts a day and schedule each one across all of our social platforms. You'll test new formats, learn from the results, and keep raising the bar.

What You'll Do1. Lead the creative

• Come up with formats and series. Examples include a restoration followed from start to finish, craftsman profiles, before and afters, the history behind a piano, and answers to the questions Steinway buyers ask.

• Plan what gets made each week, and decide which stories are worth telling and how to tell them.

2. Capture the stories

• Spend 3 days a week at the t7e7CuGmkMC MzxBnT filming pianos from the day they arrive to the day they go home, and the craftsmen doing the work.

• Film pianists playing our pianos, and Todd at the Pine Brook showroom when a story needs him.

• Earn the trust of everyone you film, and direct them so the content comes out right.

3. Script and lead our livestreams

• Script and lead our 30-minute livestreams with Todd.

• Build each livestream from short segments that each stand on their own and open with a strong hook, so one stream can be cut into many shorts.

• After each stream, cut the recording into shorts and add them to the posting schedule.

4. Edit, post and schedule

• Edit your own footage into short videos for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Facebook, and longer videos for YouTube.

• Write the hooks, titles and captions. Know what stops a viewer in the first 3 seconds and keeps them watching to the end.

• Create 5 to 10 posts a day, and schedule each one across all of our social platforms.

• If editing becomes a bottleneck, you can send footage with notes to our outside video editor, so the volume keeps up.

5. Test, learn and improve

• Track how every post performs and look for what Steinway buyers respond to.

• Test new formats, keep the ones that work, and push them further.

• Study the restoration and craft channels with millions of views, and bring what you learn back to our content.

• Flag the pieces strong enough to run as ads.

6. Keep many projects moving

• Plan your shoots around the craftsmen's work, the pianos coming in, and Todd's schedule.

• Keep shoots, livestreams, edits and posts on track while new ideas keep coming.

Who You'll Work With• Todd zQGpVAD8K, owner and head of sales: you report to Todd, and you'll script and lead the livestreams with him.

• Our Dover craftsmen: you'll spend your on-site days filming them at work.

• Pianists: you'll film them playing our pianos.

• Our outside video editor: editing is part of your job, but if it becomes a bottleneck, you can hand footage to our outside editor with notes.

• The rest of the marketing team: they turn your content into ads, web pages and emails.

What We're Looking For• Content you made end to end, at high volume. You came up with it, shot it, edited it and posted it yourself, often daily. A channel or account you grew counts for a lot.

• Your own vision. You know what makes a story worth watching and you bring ideas of your own. We aren't looking for someone who only shoots what they're told to.

• Comfortable working with talent. You can walk into a working shop or a performance, put people at ease on camera, and direct them until you get the right shot. You're pleasant to work with every day.

• A habit of testing. You watch your numbers, form a view on why something worked, and change your next post because of it.

• Social media know-how. You understand hooks, pacing and how each platform differs.

• Camera and editing skills. You can get clean shots and good sound and cut a video yourself. We'll teach you our setup.

• Pride in your work. Nobody here has time to manage you closely. You revise your work until it's good before you share it.

• Organized. You keep several shoots, edits and posts moving without dropping any.

• AI as a tool. You use AI to work faster, but the ideas and taste are yours.

Nice to have: long-form YouTube experience; livestream production; restoration, craft or "how it's made" content; filming musicians or live performance; marketing expensive, carefully considered purchases; a feel for music or pianos.

Who This Isn't For• Videographers who only take direction and want someone else to supply the vision.

• Marketing generalists or directors who don't shoot and edit themselves.

• People whose portfolio was made by a team, if they can't point to what they personally did.

• People who prefer to make a few polished pieces a month. This role is about volume and learning fast.

• Anyone who can't be on site in Dover 3 days a week.

Pay, Benefits and Location• Pay: $70,000 to $100,000, plus situational performance bonuses.

• Benefits: health insurance, dental insurance, paid time off, paid holidays, and a 401(k).

• Schedule: full time.

• Location: hybrid. On site 3 days a week, mostly at our t7e7CuGmkMC MzxBnT in Dover, NJ, with some shoots at our Pine Brook showroom. You must live within commuting distance.

• Start date: as soon as possible.
