IndieWire: Social Media Producer

Indie Wire is seeking a highly creative, fast-moving Social Media Producer to help define and grow how one of the entertainment industry’s most influential film and television brands shows up across social platforms.
This is a hands-on social and video role that blends creativity, editorial judgment and strategy.

This person should be equally comfortable filming an interview on an iPhone, pulling a standout moment from a longer conversation, creating an Instagram carousel, cutting a Tik Tok from a film festival and writing a sharp caption around breaking industry news.
