About Us
We’re LifeSpark Labs, a mission-driven startup building a game-based career navigation platform for early-career professionals. We’re helping young people discover their purpose, develop the human skills needed to thrive, and feel confident navigating the future of work.
Our philosophy: Careers should start with inner awareness, connection, and curiosity—not just resumes or job titles.
We live by our values: Boldness, Curiosity, Balance, Authenticity, and Human Connection.
The Role
We’re looking for a self-motivated Social Media Manager & Creator to help us grow our community and expand our early product reach. You’ll be the voice and energy behind our online community. You’ll create content, foster conversation, and help design a space where young people feel seen, inspired, and connected.
Apply directly through Handshake (preferred) or email your resume to info@lifesparklabs.com. In your resume, please provide links to TikTok or Instagram accounts or 2–3 specific posts that you have personally created or managed.
What You’ll Do
- Create and post content - Produce at least 8 posts per month per platform (TikTok & Instagram), with at least half being original short-form videos (Reels/TikToks). Content should feel authentic and speak to Gen Zers who are exploring passions, career paths, or struggling with the job hunt.
- Be the Face of the Brand – Appear on camera yourself and recruit friends/peers for simple shoots when relevant. Capture real conversations, trends, and behind-the-scenes moments with minimal production complexity.
- Grow the Community – Engage with followers, respond to comments, and share trends that align with LifeSpark Lab’s mission to spark curiosity and purpose.
- Track Results – Use unique URLs or codes in posts so we can track sales driven by your content.
- Earn Bonuses – Receive commission on verified sales generated from your posts (paid monthly).
You’ll have a flexible schedule, but the ability to respond to trends quickly is a big plus. Since this is an independent contractor role, you will provide your own equipment (phone, ring light, editing apps).
Requirements
- Deep familiarity with TikTok and Instagram: you know the trends, editing tools (CapCut, Canva, etc.), and what drives engagement.
- Examples of content you’ve created or accounts you’ve grown (personal or professional).
- Comfort on camera and ability to capture peers in authentic, engaging ways.
- Strong understanding of Gen Z culture, humor, and career-related struggles.
- A personal following is a plus but not required - creativity and hustle matter most.
- Experience building online communities or basic analytics and reporting skills are preferred, but not required.
Why Join Us?
- Earn income while setting your own schedule
- Gain real-world sales, leadership, and business development experience
- Build your network and public speaking skills
- Turn your campus/community connections into opportunities
- Be part of an early-stage startup making a real impact on youth careers and mental health
