Job Description

As a Podcast Social Video Editor you will drive the creative vision for short-form social content across the Vox Media slate and oversee the producers who make it. You'll align workflows and standards, build the content calendar, and steward performance and quality. You will ensure each show’s social media output meets its unique audience while fitting within network-level strategy.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead the video/motion production team responsible for social-first clips, motion graphic promos and still/motion image assets across all shows.
• Build a content calendar aligned with episode launches, campaign pushes, guest announcements, trending topics, and evergreen show moments.
• Define creative standards and aesthetic direction for each show’s social assets, drawing upon a sophisticated understanding of branding and motion design.
• Establish and refine production workflows (editing pipeline, asset versioning, templates, motion-graphic library) to support fast turnaround with high quality.
• Oversee performance metrics (views, reach, engagement, subscription/episode lift) across shows, provide strategic insights, and drive continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with marketing and brand/creative teams, show producers, and hosts to build content strategy and ensure aesthetic and audience alignment.
• Provide engagement feedback to the show team and drive the iteration process to ensure platform optimization.
• Keep up to date with social platform trends, algorithm changes, emerging formats (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc) and guide the team’s experimentation and innovation.
• Curate a library of brand assets, motion-design templates and edit-ready workflows for efficient reuse and iteration.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• 5+ years of experience creating social-first video content and motion graphic assets for media brands, preferably including podcasts.
• Demonstrated leadership experience (managing or mentoring producers/editors) in a fast-moving digital media environment.
• Excellent storytelling and motion-design instincts; you understand how pacing, typography, graphic motion, sound design and platform context combine to engage audiences.
• Strong editing and motion workflow skills (Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent) plus familiarity with social editing tools and asset versioning.
• Deep understanding of platform norms and performance best practices (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, etc) along with social metrics interpretation.
• Experience building and managing a content calendar, aligning creative production with episodes, campaigns, guest announcements and trends.
• Ability to define and shape aesthetic direction and branding across multiple show voices.
• Strong project-management skills: prioritising across multiple shows, coordinating across teams, delivering high-quality content under deadline.
• Excellent communicator, collaborator and creative partner — comfortable working with show producers, hosts, brand/creative and marketing teams.
• Portfolio or reel demonstrating not just editing chops but leadership of social video strategy, motion-graphic direction and measurable results.
