About The Position

theSkimm, a part of Everyday Health Consumer, is hiring a New York-based video editor/producer to join our multimedia team. This team is a small, sharp group that moves fast, holds itself to an extremely high editorial bar, and produces content across entertainment, sports, politics, pop culture, news, and health that consistently cuts through. This role reports into the Director of Video and Audio on the Multimedia team and sits within theSkimm's broader content organization, collaborating closely with editorial, social, and partnerships.

• Deep understanding of social platforms, trends, and best practices, with the ability to evolve strategy as platforms shift
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects, Photoshop, and/or Figma are a plus)
• Strong editorial instincts — you know what makes a moment clippable and how to frame it for maximum impact
• Fluency across pop culture, entertainment, politics, sports, and health/wellness — you don't need to be an expert in all, but should be familiar enough to identify moments that will specifically resonate with theSkimm’s audience
• Comfort appearing in video content when needed
