Food Creator / On-Camera Personality for Recipe Brand — Monthly Retainer, ~5 hrs/week (Ongoing)
Worldwide
About the role We run a popular recipe website that gets a ton of traffic (especially from Pinterest), and we're looking for one fun, camera-comfortable food lover to become a face and voice of the brand. This is not a recipe-developer or writing job — let's be clear up front: we're not asking you to create new recipes from scratch or write articles. We already have the content and the audience. What we're missing is personality, and that's where you come in. You do NOT need an existing following — beginners are genuinely welcome. Whether you're already posting food content or you've just been wanting to start, this is for you. We barely have any video content right now, so you'd be getting in early. Honestly, that's the win-win: we get a fun personality for our brand, and you get to grow your own socials with a real audience behind you while earning steady income talking about food you already love. What you'll do (about 5 hours/week, totally flexible) One short video per week. Nothing fancy — phone on a tripod in your kitchen while you make a lunch or dinner, with a casual voiceover talking through it. We post these on our site to give the brand a real human face. Add your personality to our existing recipe roundups. We'll hand you posts that already exist (think "15 Low-Carb Dinner Ideas") and you'll go down the list and give your take — what you'd make first, what's easiest, little tips, what you love about each one. We turn that into commentary published under your name, so you become the recognizable personality behind the post. Who we're looking for The perfect person isn't about follower count — it's about these: The gift of gab — this is the big one. You can talk off the cuff and make it fun. If we handed you a list of 15 dishes, you could riff for ~30 seconds on each — what you like, how easy it is, a little color — without a script. Natural and warm on camera (personable beats polished) A genuine love of food and feeding people Reliable with a weekly rhythm Already making food content or excited to start — both are great What's in it for you Steady monthly retainer for ~5 flexible hours/week A real platform: we drive serious traffic, so being featured puts your face in front of a large, engaged food audience We'll help you grow — your name on the content, a link to your socials on our About page, and our audience behind you. Perfect if you're trying to build your following from the ground up. Ongoing, long-term, friendly team Details $300/month retainer (open to more if you've got substantial reach) ~5 hours/week, fully remote and flexible Ongoing / long-term (Optional — here's an example of the casual video style we love: [paste TikTok link here]) To apply Please reply with: A few sentences on why you'd be great for this. If you already make food content, drop a link (Instagram/TikTok/Reels) — but if you're just starting out, no worries at all. 2–3 quick video ideas you'd be excited to film. The best thing you can send: a 15–30 second selfie video riffing on your favorite weeknight dinner. That tells us everything — and it doesn't matter one bit how many followers you have.
