Role
Who you are
- Someone who lives and breathes social media. You spot emerging trends before they hit the mainstream and know when—and why—to leverage them in ways that genuinely connect with audiences
- A platform-native expert. You understand best practices across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, LinkedIn, and emerging channels, and you’re comfortable adapting content to fit each platform’s language and culture
- A strong storyteller. You excel at content ideation, social copywriting, and short-form scriptwriting, and you know how to guide video production from concept to publish-ready asset
- Comfortable and confident on camera. You’re willing to show your face, film yourself, and use basic in-app editing tools to bring ideas to life quickly
- Passionate about food and the impact Misfits Market is making on the food system. You’re excited to help tell that story creatively and consistently
- A curious, collaborative, creative thinker. You thrive in a team environment, bring imaginative solutions to the table, and think beyond the obvious
- Adaptive and flexible. You’re at ease in fast-moving environments and can prioritize, pivot, and decide with clarity when things change quickly
- Resourceful and proactive. You can take a loose brief and quickly turn it into polished, high-impact content—often getting scrappy in the best ways to make ideas happen
- Performance-aware. Knowledge of performance marketing goals and experience partnering with Paid teams is a plus
- Organized and familiar with creative workflows. Experience with tools like Asana and Figma is helpful
- Experienced. You have 1–3 years managing social media channels for a D2C or CPG brand

Our take
Quality control within the grocery industry has often assumed that people do not want to buy misshapen food, resulting in huge waste levels. Thing is, many consumers are happy to purchase 'ugly' produce if it is tasty and cost-saving, which is where Misfits Market comes in.
The company offers subscription boxes of 'ugly' fruit and vegetables, allowing users to choose which products they want within their package. Memberships are free and, because Misfits Markets is sourcing produce that would otherwise be wasted, it saves retailers money at no additional cost to the consumer.
Several platforms for the sale of 'ugly' produce have arisen over the last few years, but this approach positions Misfits Market as a competitive option. The company has also gone beyond fruit and veg to provide meat, seafood, and other packaged goods - expanding its capabilities through smart acquisitions and partnerships.
