Social Media Producer

IndieWire 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. From breaking film and television news and awards season to Sundance, Cannes, TIFF, premieres, filmmaker interviews and IndieWire original video, this producer will translate IndieWire’s distinctive editorial voice into compelling, social-first storytelling.

The ideal candidate is deeply knowledgeable about film, television and entertainment culture and understands what makes IndieWire different. 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 TikTok from a film festival and writing a sharp caption around breaking industry news.

You will work closely with IndieWire’s editorial, video, Studio and social teams across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, Threads, X and emerging platforms.

As PMC values in-person collaboration and team cohesion, employees work onsite four days a week and remotely one day a week. This position is based in Los Angeles.

What You’ll Do

• Create, shoot, edit and publish social-first content including Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, carousels, graphics and videos, translating IndieWire articles, interviews, reviews, rankings, breaking news and original video into compelling social storytelling
• Own day-to-day publishing and platform optimization across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Threads and X, including captions, headlines, thumbnails, metadata and publishing calendars
• Produce real-time social coverage from festivals, awards shows, premieres and industry events, including Sundance, Cannes and TIFF, capturing interviews, behind-the-scenes access and timely moments for rapid turnaround
• Shoot and edit polished social video using iPhones and other production tools, with a strong understanding of framing, lighting and audio, and create fast-turn edits in Adobe Premiere Pro and other social editing platforms
• Partner with IndieWire editors and video teams to identify the strongest social opportunities from breaking news, interviews, reviews, rankings, awards coverage, original franchises and IndieWire’s video archive
• Help grow IndieWire’s YouTube and YouTube Shorts presence, identifying strong cutdowns and optimizing titles, thumbnails, descriptions and programming for discoverability, watch time and audience growth
