Motherly Senior Social Video Producer

Parents Together Foundation • New York, NY

10d • $120,000 - $150,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Founded in 2015, Motherly has been a destination for people on their pregnancy journey, first-time moms, and everything in between. In 2025, Motherly joined the ParentsTogether Media Network with a mission to inform, entertain, and engage Gen Z and millennial parents so that all parents and families thrive. The Social Video Producer will play a defining role in this next chapter, helping shape what cultural parenting media at scale looks like in this moment. Our strategy framework is based on lean startup principles: we try out ideas quickly, see what works, and iterate. We work collaboratively to solve challenges together, and we drive impact on high-stakes issues in a positive, low-ego, low-drama work environment.
The Social Video Producer will combine a passion for moms and kids with the razor-sharp social video acumen to develop and produce compelling social content that is topical and culturally fluent. Motherly is revolutionizing parenting content, because being motherly takes a village, and we're building it.
We're looking for a social native video producer who is excited to transform Motherly’s mission into multi-format, cross-platform content that reaches Gen Z and millennial parents at scale. The ideal candidate is creative, a self-starter and is driven by cracking the algo.
This role will own the development, production, and ongoing operation of Motherly’s social video franchises — from first concept through final delivery and, over time, into the day-to-day cadence of publishing and platform performance.
This is a builder’s role. You’ll concept and launch recurring video series, establish repeatable production workflows that the team can run at scale, and grow into broader ownership of Motherly’s social video presence as those franchises mature. You should be equally comfortable writing a creative brief, hiring a video crew, running a shoot, sitting in an edit bay, and stepping in front of the camera yourself when a piece calls for it.
If you speak social natively, think in video, and have a knack for making resourceful content digestible and entertaining, this role is for you. You think in trends, you know the up-and-coming creators, and you can translate video content across platforms fluently when it comes to editing, concepting, and delivery. You intimately know the differences in producing and editing for TikTok, YT and IG. You understand how to create for these platforms uniquely and stay up to date on changing algos, content patterns, and culture.
