One of the top unscripted production companies in the country - with a proven track record of producing some of the biggest hits on television - is launching an independent creative studio focused on premium digital originals.

We're building a slate of short-form series across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok that blend storytelling, culture, and innovation - and we're looking for a Content Creator to help bring it to life.

This is an exciting opportunity to help build a digital studio from the ground up within the infrastructure of a major entertainment company.

What You'll Do
Develop and oversee an existing digital series - from concept through shoot to final post.
Edit footage and, where applicable, supervise post - cut string-outs, selects, and final versions in Premiere or Avid; guide freelance editors to deliver at the highest level.
Run production - prep shoots, direct talent, and manage and supervise crews while keeping production nimble and creative.
One-man-band when needed - shoot small-scale or run-and-gun segments with strong camera and sound know-how.
Scale up when needed - manage and supervise larger productions in partnership with in-house teams.
Shape creative - review story outlines, decks, and rough cuts with a strong editorial lens.
Own packaging strategy - titles, thumbnails, and metadata that drive engagement and growth.
Integrate brands organically within storytelling.
Analyze performance - interpret audience data and use insights to refine story, pacing, and creative direction.
Who You Are
3-5+ years producing non-fiction digital content for major platforms.
You've worked at digital-first brands, publishers, agencies, or studios and know how to build loyal audiences online.
Skilled in Premiere or Avid, with a strong sense of story, pacing, and retention.
Comfortable operating cameras, managing sound, and troubleshooting in the field.
Equally confident producing solo or leading a small crew.
You bring a ''superpower'' - story, packaging, audience development, or format design.
You have a portfolio of content that worked - and you can explain why.
Collaborative, resourceful, and fluent in the language of the internet - trends, pacing, and creative tone.
Passionate about storytelling that connects with Gen Z and young-millennial audiences.
Bonus Points
You're fluent in the latest digital tools, editing workflows, and creator tech that optimize short-form production.
You stay on top of trending sounds, visual styles, and storytelling formats native to YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
You understand platform algorithms and how to adjust creative strategy to improve reach, retention, and engagement.
Experience managing small creative teams or freelance editors.
Background in branded content or digital integrations.
Why This Role
This is a 3-6 month position with the potential to extend based on performance. You'll have the resources of a proven company with the freedom, speed, and creative latitude of a start-up. It's a chance to help define a new era of digital entertainment - building a creative studio from the ground up and shaping what modern storytelling can be online.
