Job Summary

Own and produce short form social videos end to end for multiple platforms, from sourcing stories to editing and posting.

  • Own end-to-end account management
  • Script, shoot, and edit videos for multiple platforms
  • Respond to breaking news and test formats to find what works

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You’ll own one or more of our social accounts. Your job is to find stories people care about and turn it into short videos that people watch to the end and share.
  • This is closer to a reporter’s job than a typical UGC role. You’ll find the angle, check the facts, write the script, shoot it, and edit it.
  • Research and report stories from filings, market news, and our own data
  • Write, shoot, and edit short-form video for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and X
  • Run an account end to end: content calendar, posting, comments, performance
  • Respond to news the same day it breaks
  • Test formats and hooks, and double down on what works

Requirements

  • A journalism, reporting, or news background, or a body of work that shows you think like a reporter
  • A UGC creator background showing you are comfortable behind camera
  • On-camera ability and comfort being the face of an account
  • Your own editing skills (CapCut, Premiere, or similar)
  • Accuracy you’d defend in the comments. Our audience fact-checks everything.
  • Interest in markets and investing. You don’t need to be a finance expert, but you need to be curious.
  • A portfolio of videos you’ve made. Please send it. It matters more than your resume.

Preferred

  • An audience of your own on any platform
  • Experience building your own social media following
  • A track record of videos that went viral
