What are Assistant Production Editors?

Assistant Production Editors are professionals who support the production process of publications, such as books, journals, or digital content. They handle tasks like copyediting, proofreading, coordinating with authors and editors, and ensuring that all materials meet quality and style standards. Their role is essential in maintaining accuracy and consistency throughout the publication process, often working under tight deadlines. Assistant Production Editors also help manage schedules, update project tracking systems, and may assist with layout or design tasks as needed.

What are some typical challenges an Assistant Production Editor may encounter when managing multiple projects at once?

Assistant Production Editors often juggle several projects at different stages of production, which can make prioritization and time management challenging. Balancing tight deadlines, coordinating with authors, designers, and proofreaders, and ensuring quality control can require strong organizational skills and attention to detail. Adapting quickly to shifting priorities and resolving unexpected issues—such as last-minute corrections or schedule changes—is a key part of the role. Effective communication and proactive problem-solving are essential for success in this fast-paced environment.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Assistant Production Editor, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Assistant Production Editor, you need strong editorial skills, attention to detail, and a background in publishing or English, often supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with content management systems, Adobe InDesign, and proofreading tools is commonly required, along with knowledge of style guides like Chicago or APA. Excellent communication, time management, and the ability to multitask under deadlines are vital soft skills. These competencies ensure high-quality, error-free content and efficient production workflows in a fast-paced publishing environment.

Job description

Part-Time Content Production Assistant — Part-Time Content Production Assistant — Video Editing, Reels & Instagram Carousels

Marin Fertility Center is looking for a part-time content production assistant to help turn short educational fertility videos and topics into polished Instagram and Facebook content.

This role is a mix of short-form video editing, Instagram carousel creation, caption writing, and posting/scheduling. We are looking for someone who can actually produce finished content, not just suggest social media ideas.

You can view our current brand style here: @marinfertilitycenter

What you would do

You would help create finished social media content from short raw video clips and educational topics.

Responsibilities include:

  • Edit short raw video clips, usually around 1 minute, into polished Instagram/Facebook Reels
  • Use Descript for video editing, or be willing to learn Descript
  • Add captions/subtitles, clean cuts, simple formatting, and basic polish
  • Create Instagram carousel posts that match our existing brand style
  • Help write or polish captions in a warm, professional, patient-friendly tone
  • Schedule and/or post content to Instagram and Facebook
  • Keep content organized, including raw video, edited video, captions, graphics, and post status
  • Help maintain a consistent visual look and tone across posts
Good fit for someone who
  • Has experience creating or editing short-form video content
  • Understands Instagram Reels and carousel posts
  • Has a good eye for clean, readable design
  • Can match an existing brand style rather than inventing a completely new one
  • Is comfortable using tools such as Descript, Canva, CapCut, Adobe Express, Meta Business Suite, or similar platforms
  • Is reliable, organized, and able to work independently after receiving direction
  • Can communicate clearly about what is ready, what has been posted, and what needs approval
  • Is comfortable working with professional healthcare or patient-education content
Helpful but not required
  • Experience with Descript
  • Experience creating Instagram carousel posts
  • Experience posting or scheduling content for a business account
  • Experience with Canva, CapCut, Adobe Express, or Meta Business Suite
  • Basic copywriting or caption-writing experience
  • Interest in healthcare, wellness, fertility, women’s health, or patient education
Time commitment

This is a small part-time role to start, approximately one half-day per week, or about 4 hours/week.

There may be room to grow over time if the fit is strong.

Some work can be remote, but occasional in-person coordination in Marin may be helpful.

Pay

$30/hour

About us

Marin Fertility Center is an independent fertility clinic in Marin County. Our tone is professional, compassionate, educational, and approachable. We are looking for someone who can help make fertility-related content clear, warm, visually polished, and consistent with our brand.

To apply

Please send:

  • A brief note about your experience with short-form video editing and/or social media content creation
  • Examples of Reels, short videos, carousel posts, captions, or social media accounts you have helped with
  • Which tools you have used, such as Descript, Canva, CapCut, Adobe Express, Meta Business Suite, or similar platforms
  • Your availability for a half-day per week

Optional: You may also include 1–2 general fertility, wellness, or patient-education topics that you think could work well as Instagram carousel posts. No finished content is needed. This is just to understand your general content thinking.

We are looking for someone reliable, organized, and creative who can help us produce polished educational content for Instagram and Facebook.
