What you bring
- At least three years of experience in journalism, interviewing, developing human stories, and directing user-generated content remotely.
- Deep fluency in US culture, trends, and social media, especially concerning Gen Z audiences.
- Thorough understanding of structuring unscripted content for TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, and Facebook.
