Role Description

The Shade Room is seeking a temporary Senior Social Video Producer/Content Editor to serve as the managing producer for an exclusive, fast-paced pilot program. In this role, you will bridge the gap between our traditional content aggregation and a new era of original video creation, directing social producers to turn breaking culture into high-engagement video assets. You will collaborate directly with the VP of Content Development to build, test, and iterate TSR-specific social video formats, refine host commentary, and ensure our signature editorial judgment translates seamlessly to video.

The ideal candidate does not need to be on-camera; instead, they will be the editorial and operational engine behind the scenes. This role is highly collaborative, requiring someone who can:

• Develop repeatable social video formats.
• Mold the on-camera voice and tone of our talent to resonate deeply with the "Roomies."
• Help build a blueprint for a new, scalable arm of the business.

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of current social video ecosystems, algorithm trends, and formatting strategies specifically for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube.
• Exceptional editorial instincts with a proven track record of writing and editing sharp, concise, and accurate short-form copy under tight breaking-news deadlines.
• Proven ability to manage a fast-turnaround production pipeline, direct creative teams, and coach on-camera or voice talent behind the scenes.
• A builder’s mentality with the agility to experiment, accept real-time feedback, and comfortably navigate a temporary, highly fluid startup environment within a major media brand.
• Deep, intrinsic familiarity with The Shade Room’s brand identity, the celebrities and topics the Roomies care about, and the specific nuances, humor, and dynamics of the Roomies' community (Preferred).
• Prior direct experience producing high-volume social content or digital video programming for a major entertainment, celebrity news, or lifestyle media channel.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Digital Media, Communications, Film/Television Production, or a related field is preferred or equivalent practical experience with a robust portfolio.
• 4+ years of experience as a digital video producer, social media editor, or content manager, specifically producing high-volume, short-form video content (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts).
• Proven track record in a fast-paced media environment (e.g., breaking entertainment news, celebrity culture, or lifestyle media) managing a rapid-turnaround production pipeline.
• Experience in talent coaching and production leadership, with a proven ability to direct social producers, video editors, and guide on-camera/voiceover talent to capture a specific brand voice.
• Experience working within a highly fluid, experimental, or "startup-style" pilot program inside a larger, established media organization.
• Only reviewing candidates located in Los Angeles, CA.
• PLEASE INCLUDE A LINK TO YOUR PREVIOUS WORK ON YOUR RESUME.

Benefits

• This is an 8-week temporary assignment with a tentative start date of July 6, 2026.
• There is no guarantee of extension or permanent employment.
