Your work won’t sit in a folder—it gets posted. You’ll be part of the team that plans, films, edits, and ships content every week, with a focus on making scroll-stopping short-form content and learning exactly why it works.

• Edit and repurpose existing long-form content, including podcast episodes and YouTube videos, into short clips for both brands
• Write captions, hooks, and on-screen text that match each brand’s voice
• Help plan and film content in our Austin office, including behind-the-scenes, founder content with Chandler, and team moments
• Research trending formats, sounds, and creators in the author, book, and entrepreneurship spaces, and pitch new ideas
• Schedule and post content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook
• Track performance on your posts and share what’s working in weekly check-ins
• Engage with our communities by replying to comments and DMs
