About the Role Hybrid with Travel in New York, New York or Washington DC Portfolio Required We're looking for a fast, resourceful, and editorially sharp Social Content Editor to support social media content for a high level leader. This role is all about speed, polish, and storytelling - turning raw footage into compelling, platform-native content across major social platforms. You'll work closely with leadership and cross-functional partners in a fast-paced, high-trust environment. You should be just as comfortable editing a sizzle reel on your phone between meetings as you are crafting a polished edit at your desk. Minimal producer support means you need to be self-sufficient, proactive, and adaptable. This role skews heavily toward post-production and editorial craft, though baseline capture skills are expected. The content playbook will evolve as the executive's social presence matures - you should be energized by that ambiguity, not daunted by it. What You'll Do * Edit short-form social content including sizzle reels, talking heads, interviews, and event recaps * Operate as a near-independent content creator - shooting and editing primarily on mobile with minimal production support * Adapt content for multiple social platforms with an understanding of what performs best on each * Create light motion graphics, text overlays, and visual treatments to elevate content * Design and produce simple graphic content (quote cards, branded templates, visual assets) * Maintain fast turnaround without sacrificing quality or editorial judgment * Collaborate directly with executives and stakeholders with professionalism and discretion * Evolve the content playbook over time as the executive's channel and audience grow What You Bring * 5-7 years of experience in social content editing, with a strong portfolio of fast-turnaround, polished short-form work * Expert-level proficiency in mobile editing tools (e.g., CapCut, InShot, Adobe Rush, or similar) and desktop software (e.g., Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro) * Ability to capture usable footage on a smartphone when needed * Experience supporting executive communications, political communications, or public affairs content * Strong business acumen and interpersonal skills; comfortable working with leaders * Sharp editorial eye for pacing, storytelling, tone, and platform-native style * Familiarity with basic graphic design and motion graphics; animation is a plus * Self-starter mentality with the ability to manage your own workflow * Neutral, professional tone across all content Nice to Have * Experience in political media, influencer content, or public-figure social strategy * Experience with animation or advanced motion graphics * Knowledge of major social platforms and content best practices Job Type & LocationThis is a Contract position based out of Washington D.C., DC.
