As a Podcast Social Media Producer you will create and deploy social content for multiple shows in our network. You will develop short-form video clips, motion graphic promos, still assets and platform-tailored content. You will work closely with podcast producers, hosts, and the podcast marketing team to reflect each show's distinct audience and aesthetic.
What You'll Do:
- Develop and produce engaging social content for each show in the podcast slate - including video cut-downs of episodes, motion graphic promos, image assets, GIFs, stories/reels, caption copy, and platform-specific variants.
- Collaborate with show producers and hosts to identify compelling moments in episodes that translate into short-form social pieces; craft the storytelling arc for each clip.
- 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.
- Maintain an archive of assets and templates, and iterate efficiency in production workflows (templates, automation, batching).
What You'll Bring:
- Proven experience creating short-form video content (15 sec-3 min) and image/motion assets 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).
- Solid skills in editing short-form video tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, After Effects) and comfort with static image design (Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva) and motion graphic templates.
- 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 showcasing short-form video, image/motion assets, and social campaign results.
- Experience working in podcast media or editorial-driven media brands.
- Familiarity with audio editing or podcast production workflows a plus
