You will create short-form videos, write social posts, test new formats, study performance, and help us learn which topics, hooks, and formats help Modern Action reach more people. Short-form video is a major part of the role. You should be comfortable creating Reels, TikToks, Shorts, voiceovers, screen-recorded explainers, trend-based videos, and fast reactions to current events. The role also includes written social posts, content repurposing, simple graphics or carousels, and testing hooks, formats, and posting styles. We are still learning what works on each channel. Part of the job is to suggest ideas, test formats, study what works, and help Modern Action make content people understand, share, and act on. You do not need to be a policy expert. You do need to be curious, fast, creative, accurate, and willing to learn. What You'll Do Create short-form videos for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Who You Are You might be a fit if: You understand short-form platforms and what makes people stop scrolling; you can write strong hooks; you move fast; you like testing ideas instead of waiting for a perfect plan; you can learn unfamiliar topics quickly; you are comfortable with current events and civic issues; you can explain complicated topics clearly without making them feel dumbed down; you have opinions about what works online and why; you are not precious about ideas and move on when something doesn't work; you care about making civic information more understandable and useful. Experience matters, but we are open to candidates who are early in their careers and clearly sharp, hungry, creative, and good at learning. Must-Haves Proof that you understand short-form content. Willingness and ability to create short-form video. Ability to create content quickly. Strong sense of hooks, pacing, trends, and retention. Strong writing skills.

We care about follower growth, views, watch time and retention, shares, saves, comments, email signups, site traffic, output volume, and repeatable formats that work. This role is for someone who wants to help figure out what Modern Action should become on social, not just execute a fixed list of posts. #J-18808-Ljbffr
