  • Oversee the full production process of each assigned video, with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the successful execution of high-quality episodes that fulfill the strategy framework. 
  • Work effectively with cast members who are "everyday" people, asking probing questions or making comments to elicit interesting, and engaging reactions or responses.
  • Work closely with editors and post-production team to ensure the story and tone of each episode is adequately captured while maintaining quality control over final exports. 
  • Partner with other departments, including casting and creative, to ensure seamless execution of projects.

  • Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere, Photoshop, etc.)
  • Deep knowledge and passion for music and pop culture, particularly from the 90s to the 2010s.
  • A passion for and knowledge of the social media space, with a keen understanding of platform-specific trends and audience behavior.
