About MPU

More Perfect Union is an advocacy, journalism, and education organization with a mission to build power for the working class. We cover politics, policy, labor, business, and economic news through a class lens, and we pair our reporting with activism to help working people win policy fights. Launched in February 2021, More Perfect Union’s Emmy award-winning coverage has garnered over 1 billion video views and over 5 million followers and subscribers.

About the Position

More Perfect Union is expanding our coverage of sports stories reported through an economic justice lens. Issues we’re interested in include the monopoly power of sports governing bodies, efforts to organize players unions, the wealth and power of team owners and anything else that sits at the nexus of sports and corporate greed. We are looking for freelance video producers to create longform videos (10-15 minutes) on these topics for our YouTube channel and other social media platforms.

For reference, here are some videos we’ve created in this lane:

--> The NFL Is Choosing Concerts Over Player Safety. It’s Ending Careers.

--> The Billionaire Family Ruining NASCAR | Ft. John Russell

--> Can Sports Betting Be Fun Again?

And videos from other channels we are inspired by:

--> Why Saudi Arabia wants all the sports

--> Architect Reveals How NFL Stadiums Are Engineered to Maximize Profit | WSJ Pro Perfected

Ideal candidates will lead video projects from pitch to publish, overseeing all aspects of production, taking direction from senior More Perfect Union staff and working closely with other team members.

Producers will be responsible for pitching and executing ideas related to sports that live within MPU’s mission of elevating working class issues and explaining complicated political and economic ideas to a broad audience through accessible YouTube formats.

This role must be immersed in sports knowledge and excited about the process of telling those stories through video, with the technical and narrative skills to create powerful stories that hook viewers and keep people watching to the end. The position requires a high level of self-sufficiency, strong collaboration and communication skills, and a desire to help develop and grow our brand.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Pitching ideas for new videos that fit within More Perfect Union’s brand and mission;
  • Developing, scripting and producing enterprise videos, primarily for YouTube
  • Sourcing original reporting and thorough research for your script
  • Casting interviewees, experts and on-camera talent for your pieces
  • Directing on-camera talent
  • Occasionally hosting videos as needed

Qualifications:

  • Proficiency and understanding of all aspects of video production
  • Experience working on video explainers about sports, and the business of sports preferred
  • Strong reporting background, with work experience in journalism or digital media
  • Bonus for on-camera hosting experience
  • Field production experience –– setting up shoots, finding interviewees, working with videographers
