Creative Lead

About Wander

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.

Bonus points

• 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

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity package

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Remote-first culture

• $1,000 annual travel stipend to experience Wander properties
