The Washington Post Opinions section is seeking a video producer to edit a daily YouTube-first show. The producer will edit and upload daily episodes, write platform-native display copy and cut vertical clips for social distribution. The daily show will be filmed in-studio, recorded (not live-streamed) but premiered live, then clipped for horizontal YouTube uploads and vertical social distribution. It will be designed for the internet: fast, dynamic and audience-aware. We’re looking for a skilled editor who can work quickly and cleanly — someone who can balance creator instincts with news judgment, working closely with seasoned journalists. We’re interested in applicants who don’t just understand news topics, but also have a pulse on the social media conversations around them and the broader zeitgeist. The ideal candidate should be a content strategist who thinks in feeds, clips and communities, and is obsessed with internet culture and audience dynamics. They should be tapped into online discourse, trends and memes to keep the show culturally relevant. They will be well-versed in the current news-podcast ecosystem across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X and Patreon, and have experience in social posting, engagement and platform strategy. They should also understand the value of clips in fueling discovery, community and monetization.
