Create motion graphics, text treatments, and social-native visual elements
Maintain strong pacing, storytelling, and editorial judgment aligned with current social trends
Manage media workflows, file organization, exports, and delivery deadlines
Adapt quickly in fast-paced production environments and react to breaking or real-time opportunities
Qualifications:
5+ years of experience producing and editing digital/social video content
Demonstrated experience shooting with:
o iPhone/mobile-first production setups
o DJI Osmo or similar stabilization/gimbal systems
o DSLR or mirrorless camera systems

Preferred Qualifications:
Experience working in entertainment, news, sports, lifestyle, or pop culture media
Motion graphics and animation experience
Experience producing talent-led or personality-driven content
Familiarity with live production workflows and social publishing tools
Photography experience is a plus
What Success Looks Like:
You consistently create content that feels native to social platforms while maintaining high production value
You can move seamlessly between breaking-news style field production and polished studio shoots
You understand how to capture moments that audiences stop scrolling for
You bring both technical execution and creative instincts to every assignment
