It also involves producing cutdowns from campaign footage, maintaining equipment, contributing to planning and shoot preparation, and supporting community management.

Requirements

• A reel or portfolio of social-first vertical work, with performance numbers attached to at least some work.

• Experience with a social scheduling and analytics platform such as Later, Sprout Social, or Dash Hudson, or a similar tool.
• Working fluency with AI tools in production workflows, including transcription and auto-captioning, generative fill and object removal, background cleanup, upscaling, and rough-cut or b-roll assistance.
• Ability to write clear prompts and iterate toward usable AI results; ability to use AI for supporting work while retaining final creative judgment.
• Understanding of AI limitations, including avoiding fabricated product imagery, invented features, unverified claims, and AI-generated likenesses without clearance.
• Willingness to learn and adopt new tools as the team's workflow changes.
• Current working knowledge of TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts specifications, formats, and ranking behavior.
• Ability to interpret native analytics, including retention curves, watch time, saves, and shares, and explain what to change.
• Fluency in platform culture, including evaluating trends, identifying when they have passed, and understanding what may feel inauthentic.
• Ability to manage multiple deliverables on deadline with minimal supervision.
• Ability to lift and move production equipment up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods on shoot days.

Responsibilities
