Insider

As a Social Media Video Fellow, you will manage posting schedules across social channels and help the team reach its goals on platforms including YouTube, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

While this role is pivotal in amplifying our video content’s reach and engagement, it’s essential to note that the fellows will not be responsible for producing videos. Instead, their primary responsibility lies in ensuring that the videos are strategically and effectively distributed to maximize viewer engagement. Fellows are responsible for distributing new videos and stories on social channels as they are published, as well as recirculating dozens of evergreen archive videos per day.

They also help to organize and maintain our archives. They work with content from all verticals, including breaking news. This ideal fellow must be an independent worker. They will work closely with our Audience Team producers/editors. This role reports directly to the Senior Audience Producer.

Insider is a flexible workplace when it comes to remote work, but an important part of the fellowship is being a part of the newsroom in person for learning opportunities. Fellows are asked to come into our offices in New York City, Los Angeles or San Francisco at least two days a week.

Key Responsibilities:

• Upload and distribute fresh videos daily across all Insider channels on social platforms including but not limited to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok
• Generate compelling headlines, copy, and descriptions that grab audience attention and convey the essence of the video or story
• Create thumbnails using Photoshop to optimize visual appeal and click-through rates.
• Ensure timely distribution of breaking news videos and stories across relevant social channels
• Actively recirculate evergreen content from the archive across platforms to maximize viewer engagement and retention
• Produce easily digestible and visually engaging graphics for Instagram that summarize and highlight key points from our news

The ideal candidate has:

• Excellent news judgment
• Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to multitask
• Experience packaging stories for publication
• Ability to problem solve independently
• Work experience with one or more social media platforms
• Experience working with breaking news, editorial and journalism
