Cross‑Functional Collaboration – Work fluidly across social, editorial, brand, and external partner teams, translating creative vision into executable plans and keeping all stakeholders aligned. Platform & Format Fluency – Understand what works on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and beyond, and shape raw interview footage into clips that stop the scroll. Hosting & Interviews – Serve as the primary on‑camera host and interviewer for social video series across platforms, research guests, develop interview questions, and brief subjects before shoots. Production & Video Editing – Partner through the entire production workflow – brief, schedule, guest coordination, shoot logistics, post‑production handoff; collaborate on new series concepts; edit clips, add captions, and write social captions. Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Comms – Align content series with organizational priorities, manage relationships with talent, handle communications and day‑of logistics, maintain production schedules and documentation.
