Content creator

WORK WITH MIC

  • Admin Coordinator (Part-Time)

    Organization: Memphis Islamic Center (MIC)
    Reports To: Executive Director
    Employment Type: Part-Time

    Position Summary

    The Content Creator produces the photo, video, and graphic content that brings Memphis Islamic Center's (MIC) programs, events, and community to life across organic (owned) social media and paid advertising. This role works in close, day-to-day collaboration with the Owned & Paid Media Manager, who sets content priorities, creative briefs, and the marketing calendar, while reporting formally to the Executive Director. The ideal candidate is creative, reliable, and comfortable capturing and editing content quickly in live, real-world settings — classes, events, youth programs, and community gatherings — and turning raw footage into polished, on-brand assets ready to post or run as ads.

  • 1. Content Production

    • Shoot photos and video at MIC events, classes, and programs for use across organic social media and paid ad campaigns.

    • Produce short-form video content (Reels and similar social video) — filming, basic editing, captions, and sound.

    • Create static graphics and carousel content following MIC's brand guidelines and creative briefs.

    2. Collaboration with the Owned & Paid Media Manager

    • Receive creative briefs and content requests from the Owned & Paid Media Manager; ask clarifying questions to ensure content matches campaign objectives, messaging, and target audience.

    • Deliver assets on schedule according to the marketing/content calendar; flag delays or conflicts early.

    • Contribute ideas on content formats, trends, and creative approaches that could improve engagement or ad performance.

    3. Event & Program Coverage

    • Attend and document assigned MIC events, classes, and community activities with photo and video coverage.

    • Capture testimonials, community stories, and behind-the-scenes moments that support both owned and paid content needs.

    • Coordinate scheduling with program staff and volunteers to ensure key moments are covered.

    4. Editing & Asset Management

    • Edit photos and videos for use in organic posts, paid ads, newsletters, and other materials.

    • Organize and maintain a library of raw and finished content assets for future reuse.

    • Ensure consistent branding, quality, and platform-correct formatting (dimensions, aspect ratios, specs) across channels.

    5. Content Ideation & Trends

    • Suggest new content formats, ideas, and creative approaches based on platform trends and community interests.

    • Support testing of new creative concepts for paid and organic campaigns alongside the Owned & Paid Media Manager.

    6. General Support

    • Represent MIC with professionalism and respect for its mission, values, and religious environment while capturing content involving staff, community members, and events.

    • Maintain confidentiality and obtain necessary consent/permission before capturing or publishing sensitive or private moments.

    • Perform other related duties reasonably assigned by the Executive Director.

  • Must Have

    • 1+ years creating photo/video content for social media, with a portfolio or reel demonstrating past work

    • Comfortable shooting photo and video on a smartphone or camera in varied, live settings (events, indoor/outdoor)

    • Basic video editing skills (e.g., CapCut, InShot, Adobe Premiere Rush, Final Cut) • Basic graphic design skills (e.g., Canva)

    • Strong reliability and timeliness — able to show up for scheduled events and hit delivery deadlines

    • Ability to work some evenings/weekends around MIC events and programs

    • Comfortable receiving and following creative direction from a brief

    Preferred

    • Experience creating content for nonprofits, religious, or community organizations

    • Familiarity with Meta content formats (Reels, Stories, carousels) and platform best practices

    • Familiarity with Muslim community organizations and basic Islamic terminology

    • Own photo/video equipment (camera, mic, lighting, gimbal) a plus, though not required

    • Experience with Adobe Creative Suite or similar professional editing tools

  • Formal religious credentials are not required, but the candidate must respect MIC's mission, values, and religious environment; interact respectfully and professionally with leadership, staff, volunteers, and community members; and understand that content created for a faith-based nonprofit requires authenticity, sensitivity, and community awareness — capturing and representing people and events with care.

    • Delivery: content delivered on schedule per the content/marketing calendar, with minimal missed events or deadlines.

    • Quality & consistency: assets meet brand and platform specs; feedback from the Owned & Paid Media Manager requires minimal revision.

    • Performance: engagement (reach, engagement rate) of organic content and effectiveness of creative used in paid campaigns.

    • Responsiveness: turnaround time from event/brief to finished, published-ready asset.

  • We're looking for someone creative, dependable, and detail-oriented — comfortable showing up to an event, capturing what matters, and turning it around into polished content without hand-holding. This person takes direction well, communicates proactively about timelines, and is always looking for the next great shot or story. This is a part-time, hands-on role built around MIC's events and program calendar. The Content Creator is expected to be a reliable creative partner to the Owned & Paid Media Manager and to help MIC's community and story come through clearly across every channel.
