Job Description

Overview

• This is our first content hire. We're looking for a producer to build Clipbook's video and podcast program from scratch.

• We work with the communications teams at some of the most influential organizations in public affairs, government, and advocacy. Those are the people you'd be filming.

• You'd own the whole thing: strategy, booking, shooting, editing, publishing. We're fifteen people, profitable and growing fast.

Roles and Responsibilities:Podcast strategy

• Decide what we make and why: the show's premise, who it's for, and value delivered

• Own formats, the editorial calendar, and the publishing schedule

• Source, research, book and prep our guests

• Own how the show looks and sounds

Video production

• Run the podcast and our executive and customer video from pre-production through post

• Handle camera, lighting, and audio on site, and rent gear in whatever city we're shooting in

• Turn each shoot into a full package: clips, stills, captions, thumbnails, graphics

• Keep the look consistent across shoots so footage from different locations cuts together

Distribution

• Edit long-form episodes and cut them for LinkedIn, YouTube, and X

• Work with GTM on the calendar and keep us publishing on schedule

• Track what performs and feed it back into what we make next

Travel to shoots in US.Other duties as assigned.
Strong Candidates Will Have:

• Taste. This is valued more than years of experience or your education.

• Production skills - comfortable owning a two- or three-camera setup, lighting a room you've never been in, and troubleshooting audio without a second set of hands.

• Experience with Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci, plus working comfort with motion graphics and sound design.

• A strong eye for what performs on social, and the judgment to cut for attention without cutting for cheapness.

• Resourcefulness with a budget: you know when to rent, when to hire local crew, and when to just get it done.

• Highly motivated and results-oriented with intense responsiveness, coachability, and a strong drive to succeed.

• Adaptability and willingness to thrive in a nimble, execution-focused startup.

• Interest in media, communications, or business storytelling is a plus.
