The Trailhead program is the start of your epic journey at Critical Mass. During your initial 12-weeks, you will embark on a custom-built learning journey to understand what we do, who we are, and how we make award-winning work with our clients. Our goal is to integrate you into the amazing work we do here at Critical Mass, and support you as part of the team to grow your career with us!
Our Fall 2025 Trailhead Cohort commences in October.
All applications are reviewed and interviewed on a rolling basis.
We are looking for someone with a wide range of creative skills and an inclination to experiment with new ideas with some of the biggest brands in the world. All the content you will create in this role will be specifically designed for social media channels – so you won’t need to be the world’s biggest expert in Adobe Premiere if you’re comfortable with Edits and CapCut. To be successful in this role, you’ll have a bias towards making things, be courageous through the editing process, and be driven to make social media just a bit more interesting.
Sound exciting? Read on:
You will:
Create social media posts across a range of media types – graphic design, short-form video, photography, and others as required

Become a vocal, contributing member of the Social Pod
You have:
Multi-hyphenate creative capabilities: you can do a little bit of everything – graphic design, photography, video editing, copywriting – particularly within social media formats
Boundless creative energy: you’ve been told “no” before and that doesn’t phase you – you’re ready to dream up more ideas until you land on something really unique
Platform-specific expertise: you have a strong understanding of the nuances of different social media platforms and can craft your ideas to succeed on a single platform
Collaborative spirit: you don’t play “hero ball” – you prefer to “yes and” your teammates and work to make each other’s ideas even better
