Summary

We’re the original running shoe company. 1898 original. From the start, we’ve been at the forefront of developing technology that helps runners go further, faster, more comfortably. As we enter our 125th year, we’re set on making sure everyone knows our name. (Bonus points for pronunciation: Sock-a-knee). This means going in bold new directions, innovating designs that inspire people to get up and move, as well as dipping into our archive of Originals to reach today’s hype-makers and style setters. Joining us now means the opportunity to help set the course for our next 125 years.

Do you compulsively document, comment on and poke fun at the world around you through social media? Great start. If you were voted high school class clown, have a stand-up side hustle or your parents can only describe what you do as “always posting weird stuff but somehow getting paid for it,” then let’s talk. At Saucony, you’ll be helping develop our burgeoning social media presence to take us in new and unexpected directions. To do this, you will concept, create, write, and deliver best-in-class branded content in a variety of formats: internal/external films and photography, social media content (IG, TT, Snap), Ecomm content, retail content and more. We’ll ask you to provide a portfolio of recent work and may require a content assignment. As part of a team that thrives on communication, you’ll also have to be comfortable working in a hybrid environment with set office days each week.
