Overview

Vox Media employees go deep, thriving on innovation and change while ambitiously seeking to master their subject areas, hone their craft, and improve their communities. We help smart, talented, creative professionals make a meaningful impact in media, technology and the world around them. The Vox Media house of brands includes industry-leading media forces like SB Nation, Eater, The Verge, Vox, Curbed, Recode, Racked and Polygon, and reaches an audience of hundreds of millions, generating over a billion content views each month.

We want to be where our readers are, and we are looking for a multimedia producer who can tell stories on platforms like Instagram — and whatever might come next.

We’re looking for a creator who understands how visual assets, video and text work together to tell a story, especially on mobile, who thrives in a newsroom environment, and who is passionate about the storytelling opportunities on current and emerging social platforms.

You will be working closely with our storytelling and social media teams to produce visual stories on daily deadlines and in the process, help define both the future of mobile storytelling and the SB Nation brand on mobile platforms. We’re going to have a lot of fun, too.

Responsibilities:

• Create, edit and transform videos, images and animated visual experiences for mobile storytelling
• Work quickly in a newsroom environment, including around daily deadlines and tentpole events
• Collaborate with editorial and social media teams to conceive and execute super visual stories for social platforms.
• Collaborate with editorial and social media teams to experiment and conceptualize new and innovative storytelling formats for social platforms

Qualifications:

• You have a keen eye for creative visual storytelling. You should be able to find original stories, pull a nugget out of a larger feature or quickly react to breaking news.
• You have experience creating on tight deadlines and in a real-time environment.
• You understand how readers consume and use social platforms and have experience producing visual stories for social platforms (like Instagram Stories, Snapchat Discover, Facebook video)
• You have experience creating graphics and animations in Adobe Creative Cloud applications (After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premier Pro)
• You are passionate about sports and internet culture.
• Bonus: Demonstrated skill in creating strong user experiences.

If interested, please submit a cover letter along with examples of off-platform visual or text stories,  or social video, that you either created or edited.
