Job Summary

Own the end-to-end content production lifecycle for client accounts, including on-site shoots, editing, graphics, captions, and monthly performance reporting, while shaping strategy and managing production days.

  • Own the calendar and keep content ahead of schedule
  • Shape channel strategy, pillars, and cadence with close to what works
  • Run production days and maintain clear documentation for smooth handoffs

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Create the work. Shoot on location (product, food, in-store b-roll, founder talking-head, events), edit short-form video, design graphics and carousels, and write captions in each client’s voice. Most shooting is iPhone-quality, along with our Sony a6700 mirrorless camera.
  • Own the calendar. Keep content produced and out for approval two to four weeks ahead so nothing comes down to a Friday scramble.
  • Shape the strategy. Contribute to channel mix, content pillars, and cadence for your accounts. We’ll set direction together — you’ll be the one closest to what’s actually working.
  • Run production days. Build shot lists and keep the day on track. On bigger shoots with hired crew, you’re directing rather than operating the camera.
  • Report on it. Monthly performance reporting that connects the numbers to decisions — what moved, why, and what we’re changing.
  • Keep it documented. Clean, current notes in Notion so any account can be picked up without a briefing call.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in social media or content, with client-facing time
  • A portfolio of short-form work you personally shot and edited
  • Strong instincts for short-form video, and the ability to explain why something works
  • Excellent writing - captions, short-form copy, and clear client communication
  • The organization to run several accounts without dropping threads, and the judgment to flag capacity issues early
  • Confidence in your work
  • Based in Austin. Shoots and client meetings happen in person.

Preferred

  • Agency experience
  • Background in food and beverage, retail or grocery, consumer brands, political, or media
