Role
Who you are
- Proven experience creating short-form video content (15 sec-3 min) for podcasts or media brands on social platforms
- Excellent storytelling instincts; knowing which moments to spotlight that hook viewers, evoke emotion or insight, and prompt engagement or action
- Strong understanding of social platforms and their nuances: Instagram (feed, stories, reels), TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn. You stay up-to-date on trends, emerging formats, algorithm behaviour
- Demonstrated ability to adapt creative approach/tone to different show audiences and brand personalities (for example, a tech-business show vs. a culture-comedy show)
- Proficiency in static image design (Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva) and video editing apps (CapCut); experience with Premiere a plus
- Ability to manage multiple projects/shows simultaneously, prioritize under tight deadlines, collaborate across teams
- Data-literate: you can interpret performance metrics and iterate accordingly
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- A portfolio or reel of past work completed as an end-to-end producer, showcasing short-form video and social campaign results
- Experience working in podcast media or editorial-driven media brands
- Strong familiarity with collegiate and professional women’s sports leagues (especially WNBA and NWSL) and the big storylines around the intersection of sports and culture – specific fandoms appreciated but not required
- Familiarity with audio editing or podcast production workflows a plus
- If you think you have what it takes, but don't meet every single point in our job posting, please apply with a cover letter to let us know how you believe you can bring your unique skills to the Vox Media team or get in touch!
What the job involves
- Develop, script, and produce engaging social content for each show in a variety of formats (both episode clips and original socially native content), determining optimal frequency and cadence for every platform
- Collaborate with show producers and hosts to identify compelling moments in episodes that translate into short-form social pieces; craft a sharp storytelling arc for each clip through line edits, pacing, and added graphics
- Optimize content for platform performance (length, format, captioning, hashtags, thumbnails, CTAs) and stay current with algorithm changes and emerging formats
- Track performance metrics (views, reach, engagement, follower growth, click-throughs to episode/subscribe) and feed insights back into creative strategy
Our take
Whilst magazines and newspapers are not as popular as they once were, digital journalism is alive and well. However, many people feel that digital content is becoming less natural and informative, and instead has become focused on sensationalism and ‘click-bait’ as a means of advertising.
Vox Media publishes media across various digital platforms, focussing on providing insightful and informative journalism through storytelling, commentary, and cultural conversation. Whilst the company's editorial networks are meant for entertainment purposes, they do this through a means that increases awareness and interest of affiliate brands.
Marketing through digital publishing is nothing new, but Vox Media has an interesting perspective by producing content that inspires readers to follow up on a brand, rather than suggesting they do. With numerous acquisitions at its back, and substantial investment to play with, the company will doubtless continue to scale its brands and operations.
