Job description

Wander pioneered the “hotelification” of vacation rentals – combining the quality of a luxury hotel with the comfort of a private vacation home. Now we’re taking our verticalized travel experience guests love global with an end-to-end travel platform for trips, experiences and concierge service.

Role Summary

Wander is hiring a Creative Lead to join our team. You’ll serve as a one-person internal creative agency, transforming Wander’s expansive library of content into engaging, on-brand video assets across platforms. You’ll own our social media presence, launch our YouTube show, run commercials for the brand, and define the visual storytelling style of a premium travel brand that’s redefining how people live and work from anywhere.

This is a rare opportunity to take full creative ownership within a fast-paced, design-forward company with an audience that loves to be inspired. If you have a passion for storytelling, a knack for creating scroll-stopping content, and the strategic mind to grow an owned audience from zero to viral, we’d love to talk.

Who you are

  • A highly creative visual storyteller with incredible taste and brand-building ability who can conceptualize, edit, and publish across multiple formats and platforms.
  • A social-first thinker who knows what performs on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X — and how to adapt content for each.
  • Comfortable flying solo : you’re a full-stack creative who can write, produce, film (when needed), and execute projects end to end.
  • Deeply collaborative — excited to partner with Marketing, Design, and Product to shape Wander’s visual identity and tone.

Comfortable working asynchronously and independently in a fast-moving, remote-first environment.

What you’ll do

  • Own Wander’s brand storytelling across video and social media channels, driving top-of-funnel engagement and brand affinity.
  • Build a content calendar and publishing cadence that aligns with marketing priorities and cultural moments.
  • Develop and launch Wander’s first YouTube series — from concept to post-production.
  • Create and manage a high volume of short-form video assets for social media, ads, and web.
  • Manage the voice and aesthetic of Wander’s Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube accounts.
  • Repurpose and remix Wander’s extensive archive of video and photo assets into new, evergreen formats.
  • Stay on the pulse of content trends, social media formats, and audience behavior to constantly evolve our approach.

    • Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in content creation, video editing, or creative production — agency or in-house.
  • Deep familiarity with social platforms and their content nuances — you know the difference between a YouTube thumbnail and a TikTok hook.
  • Portfolio that demonstrates your ability to create visually compelling, performance-driven content.
  • A strong sense of design, brand consistency, and visual storytelling.
  • Strong video editing skills with tools like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, or CapCut; motion graphics a plus.
  • Experience building or hosting a video series or show
  • On-camera presence or comfort directing talent
  • Passion for travel, design, or real estate
  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Remote-first culture
  • $1,000 annual travel stipend to experience Wander properties
