Senior Social Producer (Remote)

The Athletic is looking for a creator-minded Sr. Social Producer to own the digital footprint of our new daily live show. You will be embedded in the control room, identifying viral moments as they happen and translating them into high-performing social assets. You are equally comfortable editing a high-energy reel as you are moderating a fast-moving YouTube chat or filming

Requirements

• 4+ Years in Social Content Creation: A proven track record of growing audiences for a sports or media brand.
• Technical 'Preditor' Skills: You are a 'Producer/Editor.' You must be proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro and mobile-first editing apps (CapCut, etc.). Basic filming skills (iPhone or DSLR) are a must.
• Internet Fluency: You live on the platforms. You understand the nuance between a YouTube community post and an Instagram Story.
• Sports Junkie: You know the memes, the rivalries, and the deep-cut references that sports fans care about. You know why a specific 15-second clip is most likely to resonate.
• Multitasking Under Pressure: You can edit a clip while simultaneously monitoring a live chat and drafting a tweet.
• Editorial Judgment: You understand The Athletic's standard of journalism and can balance 'viral' energy with brand integrity.
