Senior Video & Social Media Producer

This is a Full Time Job

DESCRIPTION:

IndieWire is seeking a Senior Video & Social Media Producer to lead the charge on a newly unified strategy that merges original video production with social media execution. This is a video-first role with creative ownership across platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and IndieWire.com.

You’ll be the connective tissue between video, editorial, branded content, and social media. Whether it’s directing a red-carpet interview on an iPhone, producing a panel recap for YouTube, or crafting Shorts that spark cultural conversation, you’ll drive content that amplifies IndieWire’s authority in film and television.

As PMC values in-person collaboration and team cohesion, employees work onsite 4 days a week and 1 day remotely with a focus on maintaining a vibrant and inclusive culture. Position is based in Los Angeles.

What You’ll Do:

Video Production & Editing
• Produce, shoot, and edit editorial and branded video content – interviews, panels, behind-the-scenes, TikToks, Reels, Facebook, Reddit, X and YouTube packages
• Film with both iPhones and cinema cameras, capturing high-quality footage for mobile and horizontal formats
• Edit efficiently in Adobe Premiere Pro, adding motion graphics, subtitles, music, and visual effects to enhance content
• Execute editorial and branded deliverables while maintaining IndieWire’s tone and creative standards
• Coordinate post-production timelines, file management, and freelance contributors

YouTube Strategy & Execution
• Own YouTube publishing – from longform interviews to Shorts cutdowns
• Optimize thumbnails, titles, and metadata for SEO, watch time, and CTR
• Repurpose legacy content for current YouTube audience trends
• Collaborate on evergreen franchise formats (e.g. Toolkit Podcast, Deep Dives, Awards Analysis)

Social Media Video Distribution
• Develop daily social-first video content tied to editorial calendars, awards coverage, film festivals, and industry news
• Lead execution on TikTok, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts, creating platform-native videos with high shareability
• Partner with social media team to boost engagement and drive traffic back to IndieWire.com
• Design and execute custom content for talent amplification, branded promotions, and live event moments

Branded & Commercial Campaign Support
• Produce video and social content for sponsored campaigns and custom client activations
• Work cross-functionally with sales, branded content, and marketing teams from pre-sale to delivery
• Ideate creative executions that align brand messaging with IndieWire’s editorial credibility

Who You Are
• 4 years’ experience in video production and social media for entertainment, media, or news brand
• Expert-level editing in Adobe Premiere Pro; motion graphics/After Effects a strong plus
• Confident shooting on both iPhones and DSLR/cinema cameras (Canon C200/C500, Sony FX3, etc.), with a sharp eye for lighting, audio, and framing
• Comfortable working under tight turnarounds and able to execute an idea on a dime – whether it’s 4 hours, 4 days, or 4 weeks, you know how to make content crackle
• Able to thrive in fast-paced or even chaotic production environments without short-circuiting – this role requires grace under pressure and the agility to pivot quickly without compromising creative output
• A social media native – fluent in platform trends, analytics, and content formats on Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, X, and YouTube
• Proven success creating video content that drives views, shares, and web traffic
• Strong communicator, collaborator, and problem solver with experience managing production workflows
• Passionate about independent film, entertainment, and cultural storytelling
