About the role

Overview: This is our first content hire. We're looking for a producer to build Clipbook's video and podcast program from scratch. We work with the communications teams at some of the most influential organizations in public affairs, government, and advocacy. Those are the people you'd be filming. You'd own the whole thing: strategy, booking, shooting, editing, publishing. We're fifteen people, profitable and growing fast.
Roles and Responsibilities: Podcast strategy
Decide what we make and why: the show's premise, who it's for, and value delivered Own formats, the editorial calendar, and the publishing schedule Source, research, book and prep our guests Own how the show looks and sounds Video production Run the podcast and our executive and customer video from pre-production through post Handle camera, lighting, and audio on site, and rent gear in whatever city we're shooting in Turn each shoot into a full package: clips, stills, captions, thumbnails, graphics Keep the look consistent across shoots so footage from different locations cuts together Distribution Edit long-form episodes and cut them for LinkedIn, YouTube, and X Work with GTM on the calendar and keep us publishing on schedule Track what performs and feed it back into what we make next Travel to shoots in US. Other duties as assigned. Strong Candidates Will Have: Taste. This is valued more than years of experience or your education. Production skills - comfortable owning a two- or three-camera setup, lighting a room you've never been in, and troubleshooting audio without a second set of hands. Experience with Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci, plus working comfort with motion graphics and sound design. A strong eye for what performs on social, and the judgment to cut for attention without cutting for cheapness. Resourcefulness with a budget: you know when to rent, when to hire local crew, and when to just get it done. Highly motivated and results-oriented with intense responsiveness, coachability, and a strong drive to succeed. Adaptability and willingness to thrive in a nimble, execution-focused startup. Interest in media, communications, or business storytelling is a plus. Logistics: Full-time: Starting at $70,000; full medical, dental, and vision benefits, flexible PTO, and 401(k). Part-time/Contract: $25-$30 per hour. ~10–20 hours per week. Remote between shoots; travel covered.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
