Jobs

Social Media & Content Manager (Contract)

Location: Portland, OR (hybrid — part-time in office, part-time on the mountain)

About TREW

TREW Gear is a Portland-based outerwear company. We make technical ski apparel that performs in the backcountry and doesn’t take itself too seriously. We’re a small team that punches above our weight, and we’re looking for someone to help us tell our story.

The Role

We’re looking for a content creator to own TREW's social media presence—primarily Instagram and YouTube. This isn’ t a “schedule posts and check a box” role. We want someone who’s going to make stuff. Shoot it, edit it, post it, engage with the community, repeat.

Social media management — You’ll be living on Instagram. Posting content, responding to comments, managing DMs, and engaging with our community daily. You’re the voice of TREW online—building relationships with customers, athletes, and the broader ski community through authentic, positive interactions. You’ll drive community growth, bring brand initiatives to life, and make people feel like they’re part of something when they interact with us.

Content creation — You’ll also be making the stuff we post:

  • Instructional videos — Our most popular YouTube content is simple how-to videos (2L vs 3L explained, how to wash your outerwear, ski touring tips). These are relatively easy to produce and genuinely helpful. We want more of them.
  • Short-form content — Reels, TikToks, whatever comes next. We have years of TREW to You b-roll sitting on hard drives waiting to be cut into something. Plus whatever you shoot day-to-day.
  • Behind-the-scenes — Give the brand some personality. Life at the office, product development, ski days at Hood. Quick, authentic, not overly polished.

You

  • Are obsessed with skiing or snowboarding. Like, it’s a problem.
  • Can safely travel and ski in the backcountry. You have the gear, the training, and the partners.
  • Already make edits for fun. Your camera roll is 90% ski clips.
  • Know what’s happening online. You’re not researching trends—you’re watching them unfold in real time.
  • Can shoot and edit video. Doesn’t need to be cinema-quality. Needs to be good, fast, and consistent.
  • Are creative and self-directed. Well give you direction, but we’re hiring you to come up with ideas, not just execute ours.
  • Live in or near Portland, OR and can be in the office 1-2 days per week.

Nice to Have

  • Experience managing brand social accounts (not just your own)
  • Motion graphics or animation skills
  • Photography chops
  • A vehicle that can get you to Mt Hood and surrounding mountains
