Our portfolio includes leading entertainment and news brands such as NBC, NBC News, NBC Sports, Telemundo, NBC Local Stations, Bravo, and Peacock, our premium ad-supported streaming service. We produce and distribute premier filmed entertainment through Universal Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, Focus Features, and Universal Studio Group’s television studios.

About the role

We are looking for a creative, energetic, and highly versatile Social Content Creator to produce engaging, personality-driven content across the brand’s social platforms. This role involves filming, editing, designing, publishing, and occasionally hosting social-first content that brings Selected’s shopping journalism to life. The work may include short-form product reviews, explainers, demonstrations, graphics, trend-driven videos, interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and recurring original series.

The ideal candidate has strong creative instincts, a natural on-camera presence, and a deep understanding of how audiences engage with content on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. They can take an idea from pitch to publication, whether writing a script, filming a product demonstration, designing a graphic in Figma, or editing a fast-paced vertical video in Adobe Premiere Pro. This role will collaborate closely with the Social Media Editor, reporters, editors, producers, and visual teams to help define how Selected looks, sounds, and feels across social platforms, with a focus on reaching younger audiences through useful, credible, and entertaining storytelling.

Responsibilities

  • Create original social-first content for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Threads, X, Bluesky, and emerging platforms.
  • Film, edit, and produce short-form vertical videos, including product reviews, shopping explainers, demonstrations, comparisons, recommendations, and trend-driven content.
  • Serve as one of the recognizable on-camera personalities for Selected.
  • Pitch original content ideas for video, graphics, carousels, recurring franchises, and other social formats.
  • Design social graphics, templates, and visual assets using Figma or similar design tools.
  • Assist in managing the organic social content calendar.
  • Schedule and publish content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Threads, X, Bluesky, and other platforms.
  • Write and optimize platform-specific copy, headlines, descriptions, tags, and calls to action.
  • Adapt content appropriately for different platforms rather than publishing identical versions everywhere.
  • Monitor social trends, creator formats, platform features, sounds, and audience conversations.
  • Quickly identify relevant trends that Selected can participate in credibly.
  • Develop rapid-response content around trending products, breaking commerce news, launches, recalls, sales, and seasonal moments.

Requirements

  • At least 2 years of professional experience creating social or digital content for a publisher, brand, or creator-led account.
  • A strong portfolio of short-form vertical video and social-first storytelling.
  • Experience creating social graphics in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar tools.
  • A confident, natural, and engaging on-camera presence.
  • Deep understanding of TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube formats, trends, and audience behavior.
  • A collaborative, flexible, and self-directed work style.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
  • A distinct creative voice and genuine enthusiasm for connecting directly with audiences.
  • Unrestricted employment authorization to work in the United States.

Schedule

This is a short-term position with an estimated duration of 12 months, unless otherwise amended or terminated as deliverables are completed. This role has a hybrid schedule, requiring in-office work a minimum of four days per week. The Company reserves the right to change in-office requirements at any time.

Pay

Salary range: $28.85–$33.65 per hour.

Benefits

  • Eligible for 401K after 1,000 hours worked in 12 consecutive months (for Production Employee (PEP) Regular who works more than 1,000 hours per measurement period).
  • Eligible for Health and Welfare benefits on the 1st day of employment.
  • Eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Program after 90 days of employment.

Additional Information
