Job summary

Phonely in San Francisco is seeking a storyteller to own the public voice and shape how we show up in public. You will write and publish 5–10 pieces per week, building a production system and repeatable workflows to drive real growth on phone-line conversations.

You will mine real moments, direct shoots, and coordinate on-camera talent across channels, starting with LinkedIn, YouTube, and Meta. The role requires comfort on camera without a script, a proven body of work, and the ability to scale

Qualifications

• A body of work nobody assigned you. A hundred pieces or more on your own account, no client, no brief.
• AI-native production habits. You already use tools to multiply your output and have opinions about which ones actually help.
• Comfort on camera without a script. One take, phone camera, no autocue.
• A sharp read on your own work. You can explain why one piece landed and another did not.
• Range across the production chain: shooting, producing, editing, and publishing with whatever tools you taught yourself.

Responsibilities

• Own the public voice: what we sound like, what we talk about, and what people remember us for.
• Publish constantly: start at 5 to 10 pieces a week and ramp. The best company in our category publishes 10 times a week. We want to pass them.
• Build the system behind the output: your taste sets direction, AI tools and repeatable workflows carry the lift. Forty good pieces a month beats eight perfect ones.
• Mine the tape for stories: find the moments that show what is actually changing on real phone lines, then get them out fast.
• Run the whole chain: concept, shoot, direct, edit, publish, reply.
• Put the right people on camera: sometimes you, sometimes an engineer, a rep, a founder, or a customer.
• Figure out the channels: start with LinkedIn, YouTube, and Meta, then go wherever our buyers actually spend time.
• Turn shoot days into paid creative: cut the best moments into assets the growth team can put spend behind.
• Learn from the people closest to the work: the engineers building the models, the reps selling it, the customers running their businesses on it.
• Represent Phonely outside the office: launches, customer sites, industry events, podcasts, anywhere the story should be told.
