**** A Lot About You
**** We’re seeking a highly creative Social Video Producer to craft compelling vertical videos for our lifestyle, entertainment and news brands — content that’s not just informative but impossible to scroll past. The right person for this role has an interest in social-first storytelling and video production:
You’re probably someone who spends too much time on Tik Tok and Instagram, analyzing viral videos shot-by-shot. You also have a basic knowledge of (and a comfort in covering) everything from the latest
* Summer House
* drama to fluctuations in egg prices and what’s happening in the White House. You maintain an open mindset toward experimentation, viewing emerging AI tools as creative partners that can help you iterate and scale your storytelling. If you have a knack for turning trending topics into quick, actionable videos that people actually find useful — keep reading!

As we grow our social presence across Yahoo Life, Entertainment and News, we need someone who can bring creator-style videos to life, from concept to completion. While this role has a heavy focus on video editing, you’ll also develop ideas for ambitious projects and new series, as well as produce, shoot and publish daily videos across our platforms. There will also be plenty of opportunities to attend live events, so experience capturing real-time interviews and behind-the-scenes moments using just your phone is essential.

One day, you might be teaming up with a reporter or creator on a video series tied to the Oscars or another major tentpole event. Next, you could be capturing celebrity fashion at a red-carpet event or filming hot takes for a person-on-the-street video. On another day, you might be editing a press junket or crafting a snappy 30-second explainer on the trending story taking over your group chats.

This role requires strong partnerships across editorial teams, including reporters, producers, curation editors and newsletter writers. You’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with our network of premium publishers and community of Yahoo Creators. Stellar teamwork is what makes our content credible, engaging and, most importantly, fun!

* ** AI-assisted scripting & ideation**:
Leverage approved generative AI assistants (such as Anthropic Claude and Descript) to draft script variations, experiment with high-engagement hooks, and rapidly translate long-form editorial pieces into…
