Storyteller (Singapore)
Singapore
Do you love crafting stories? Have you written something that made someone cry, laugh or feel something deeply? Can you make someone care about an experience they didn't know existed five seconds ago? If so, we’re looking for you!
Seek Sophie is an unusual company. We’re a small team of people who really love what we do, and we believe we can change the world at the same time. We're a travel experiences platform that connects travellers to incredible communities, conservationists and artisans across Asia. Storytelling, impact and craftsmanship are at the heart of the work we do.
So if storytelling is your superpower, and you want your work to make a difference in the world, we are really excited to meet you :)
Why the role is fun
We don’t have layers of bureaucracy at Seek Sophie, and we’re allergic to anything corporate. If you have a hooky content idea or a new way of telling a story on IG - we can’t wait to see it! There’s no fixed way of doing things, just better ways of doing things.
You'll also get to tell the most meaningful stories in Asia - stories about Katni the first woman guide to climb Rinjani when women weren't allowed to, or Wayan the firefly conservationist who spends 18 months just to rescue a single firefly in Bali. Stories about dreamers, rebels and optimists creating a better world through travel.
Oh yes, and you’ll get to travel and do really cool experiences too, because we test our experiences, meet our hosts and find out their stories!
This isn’t for everyone
We want someone who is energised by our mission, who wants to do excellent work and who really wants to make a difference with their work.
There’s very little bureaucracy or hierarchy here. You’ll need to be comfortable working independently, taking initiative and figuring things out without waiting for instructions. So if a messy problem makes you curious, great. If it makes you freeze until someone gives you a step-by-step brief, this probably isn’t the right role for you.
We’re a small team, so nothing is ever really “someone else’s job”. If you love strategising but don’t want to execute, or if details really aren’t your thing, it’s probably not a great fit.
What You’ll Be Doing
You'll primarily be responsible for content for Seek Sophie on Instagram, and you'll get a lot of leeway in how you tell stories! You'll also get to engage with our community through in-person events or collabs, and shape our brand through cool campaigns, storytelling and new creative ideas.
