Content Creator (Remote Contractor)

Remote
Contracted
Mid Level
Truth Initiative is searching for freelance content creators to join our mission to prevent youth and young adult nicotine addiction and empower quitting for all. We’re trying to change the way people quit and want you to join us.

The Opportunity

This is a paid contract opportunity. As an independent contractor (not an employee), you will work hand in hand with our social media team (and potentially other creators, if interested) to develop engaging, impactful content. 

We will have the occasional meeting, otherwise the time commitment is very flexible. Creators will work on their own time to produce content. 

We’re looking for true partners—we want creators to be true to their style and voice. We will orient you to our brand and our mission, as well as provide ideas, sources, and the history of Big Tobacco. But we want our creators to make videos they’re proud of. 

Duties include: 

  • Transforming creative briefs into video concepts 

  • Writing scripts for your content 

  • Appearing on camera to share stories or insights 

  • Filming and editing videos 

  • Completing necessary paperwork, especially for content that includes others 

About You

  • You are an engaging, clear communicator and love to be on camera. 

  • You’re interested in creating under the following formats: 

    • Man On The Street Interviews 

    • Direct to Camera Explainers

    • Comedic Skits

    • Lifestyle/Vlogging 

  • You have a portfolio or examples of content you have created. 

  • Not a dealbreaker, but if you have personal experience with nicotine use, we encourage you to apply. Whether you’ve already quit or are willing to try quitting with EX Program, your personal journey can be a powerful tool in helping others quit too.  

Background check
We will need your written consent to run a background check before we enter a final agreement. However, those results will not automatically disqualify candidates. If chosen as a potential contractor, you will be provided with information on the types of background checks we conduct. 

The Brand

There’s a lot of history and science in our work (we are a public health organization after all). So, we need someone who can communicate information clearly and accessibly, but can also keep people engaged and tuned in. 

You'll be creating content for EX Program, our go-to-guide to help people on their quitting journey. It’s developed with experts and informed by millions of experienced quitters.  

We provide science-backed, 24/7 support—all for free. 

A lot of people think the only way to quit is cold turkey, without any support or preparation. 

We’re trying to change the way people quit and want you to join us. 

Important Details
Compensation will be on a per video basis, up to $500 per video, depending on your level of experience. This is a freelance contractor role, not a full-time employment position.

Next steps 
Please include your social media handles and links to other content you want to share when you apply.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026
Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
