Job Summary |Major goals and objectives.

Located in our Los Angeles office and reporting to the Director of Platforms Strategy, this position requires producing and editing capabilities and is responsible for crafting compelling and entertaining video content. Your primary responsibility will be creating TikTok videos, but you will also contribute to PEOPLE's Snapchat and other social media. You should be passionate about pop culture, have a familiarity of the celebrity space, and be a frequent consumer of TikTok, Instagram Reels and other short-form, mobile-first video content. Successful candidates should be able to pitch creative ideas in a collaborative environment and see them through from concept to execution. It is important for this person to be social media-savvy and understand how and why people view and share videos online. The position will involve working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. The majority of the team is based in N.Y.C., so you will need to be a self-starter capable of working with a team in-person and remotely. There will be on-camera opportunities, so this person should be comfortable with hosting short-form videos and turning them around in a timely manner to respond to breaking news. However, the bulk of this role is working as a producer/editor who can help bring the Platforms team's concepts to life and turn PEOPLE video footage into scroll-stopping clips. Our team handles all emerging platforms at PEOPLE - we identify what's new and what's next, with a focus on reaching a Gen. Z audience. You should have a keen understanding of the evolving digital media landscape and a knack for identifying upcoming platforms that PEOPLE should explore. You should also be a team player with excellent communication skills and a passion for entertainment, pop culture and using trends to suggest innovative opportunities for PEOPLE on multiple platforms.
