About REBEL
REBEL is the first and largest tech platform transforming retail’s $1 trillion returns problem into a smarter, more sustainable model. As a Certified B Corporation, we partner with over 2,500 top brands to give shoppers unbeatable deals on open-box and overstock products—while keeping millions of pounds of product out of landfills every year.

About the Role
We’re looking for a freelance Social Content Creator to support our social channels through hands-on content creation. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who lives online, understands TikTok and Instagram culture, and is excited to create short-form content in a fast-paced, real-world environment.
You’ll be filming on-site (including in our warehouse), helping turn products, deals, and behind-the-scenes moments into engaging social content. This is an execution-focused role—you’ll work from clear concepts and direction, with room to experiment and learn.
This is a contract role, not a full-time position, and is best suited for someone local to Charlotte with the ability to drive to our warehouse in Kannapolis, NC.
What You’ll Do
- Create short-form video content for TikTok and Instagram (Reels), from concept to finished asset
- Film on-site 2–3 days per week, including warehouse-based content
- Capture product moments, deal highlights, unboxings, and behind-the-scenes footage
- Participate on camera when appropriate, or help direct others on camera
- Edit videos with light polish (cuts, text overlays, captions)
- Follow a weekly content concept calendar to plan filming in advance
- Stay tapped into trends, sounds, and formats—and flag opportunities to test
- Collaborate closely with the Brand / Marketing team for feedback and iteration
- Deliver content on time and in line with brand and safety guidelines
What We’re Looking For
- 1–3 years of experience creating social content (internships, freelance, or personal projects count)
- Demonstrated ability to create and edit short-form video (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, etc.)
- Strong understanding of TikTok and Instagram culture and formats
- Comfortable filming in real environments—not just studio setups
- Willingness to be on camera or help bring ideas to life on camera
- Good creative instincts and curiosity about what performs
- Ability to take direction, learn quickly, and iterate
- Organized, reliable, and comfortable working independently
- Must be 18+ and authorized to work in the U.S.
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Basic video editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, Final Cut, etc.)
- Experience with product-focused or retail content
- Background in fashion, beauty, wellness, lifestyle, or consumer brands
- Creator or influencer experience on your own social channels
How We Measure Success
- Consistent delivery of short-form video content
- Strong creative judgment and attention to brand guidelines
- Willingness to test ideas and learn from performance
- Collaboration, reliability, and professionalism on-site
- Ability to capture content that feels authentic and engaging
Why This Role Is a Great Opportunity
- Hands-on experience creating real brand content that ships
- Exposure to a fast-growing, mission-driven company
- Direct collaboration with brand leadership
- Opportunity to build a strong portfolio of social-first work
- A supportive environment that values learning and experimentation
