Who believes in experimenting in public, learning fast, and doubling down on what works?If that sounds like you, please apply.
Who Are You
- You are a Democrat
- You love winning
- You are a decent person with integrity
- You are not easily offended or bothered by every slight or misspoken word
- You dislike groupthink and following the herd. You have original opinions, insights, and a style that doesn’t prioritize conformity
- You thrive in a campaign-style or startup-style environment- owning your work, pivoting on the fly, and not needing direction on every detail
Key Responsibilities
- Own daily editorial output, set the agenda each day for what we cover, how we cover it, and what we ignore
- Serve as showrunner across formats, oversee recurring short-form and long-form series, maintain consistency in tone, pacing, and point of view across platforms
- Manage an editor and give direct feedback and approval on content, establish templates, pacing standards, and visual language, oversee additional editors as volume scales
- Work closely with on-camera talent to sharpen delivery, timing, and instincts, give clear, direct feedback that improves on-camera performance quickly, help talent develop repeatable beats and formats that feel natural, not scripted
- Break and react to moments in real time, identify cultural and political moments worth jumping on, execute fast-turn content with minimal friction and balance speed with taste and urgency without sloppiness
- Package content specifically for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, understand hooks, retention curves, thumbnails, captions, and posting cadence, and iterate based on performance, not vibes
- Build scalable systems, create workflows that allow the brand to move quickly without burning out, maintain a high bar while shipping frequently
Qualifications
- Proven experience in fast-paced digital media and background in sports media, tabloid/news entertainment, or culture-first outlets (e.g., TMZ, ESPN digital, Barstool, Complex, Bleacher Report)
- Comfortable working in environments where speed matters and mistakes are corrected, not feared
- Strong editing background and deep experience editing video content for YouTube - while you won’t be responsible for cutting shows and posts exclusively by yourself, having excellent instincts for pacing, story structure, and visual clarity is a must
- Ability to edit under tight timelines and imperfect conditions
- Editorial judgement under pressure and an understanding of what’s culturally and politically defensible without defaulting to caution
- Experience working directly with talent and shaping on-camera personalities
- Deep platform fluency, particularly for YouTube, but Tik Tok and Instagram a plus
- A fluent and intuitive understanding of cultural shifts, trends, and audience behavior
- High tolerance for risk and iteration, with an understanding that misses are part of building a breakout brand
- Strong communication skills: we are looking for someone who is direct, clear, and a decisive communicator who can lead a small team without bureaucracy
This role requires speed, taste, and judgment – not permission.
