• Edit and produce a high volume of social-first video content daily, with speed and precision, balancing editorial value with the ability to hook viewers on crowded feeds
• Watch raw footage from interview shoots, podcast recordings, live events, and junkets to rapidly identify clippable moments and cut them to win on social
• Edit longer videos for YouTube and O&O channels
• Support video production efforts including interview ideation, pre-production planning, and assisting with in-office and on-location shoots
• Create timely video posts by riffing on existing news footage, aligning with high-attention cultural moments as they happen
• Cover major live cultural and news events in real time (e.g., award shows, sports championships, political moments, notable finales) with smart, fast, and shareable video content

• A deep understanding of social platforms, trends, and best practices, with the ability to evolve strategy as platforms shift
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects, Photoshop, and/or Figma are a plus)
• Strong editorial instincts — you know what makes a moment clippable and how to frame it for maximum impact
• Fluency across pop culture, entertainment, politics, sports, and health/wellness — you don't need to be an expert in all, but should be familiar enough to identify moments that will specifically resonate with theSkimm’s audience
• Comfort appearing in video content when needed
• An equal creative energy for marketing content as for organic storytelling
• A collaborative, low-ego working style — you're excited to be part of a team and to make everyone’s work shine
