Job description

We’re Jubilee Media.

At Jubilee, we're on a mission to provoke understanding and create human connection. We explore experiences that push people to feel more, think more, and see more in others. We challenge the belief of a black-and-white world, and instead embrace the complexity and richness of our experiences. By magnifying these stories we can discover personal identities, shared truths, and how we fit in the overarching human story. People are at the heart of everything we do, and we're looking for the next passionate teammate to join us on this journey. Together, we have the power to shift perspectives—and maybe even change the world.

About This Role

We're building a slate of original short-form formats for Jubilee and nectar: net-new IP designed to stand on its own, grow our channels, and give brand partners real ways to participate.

What You’ll Do:

Build the slate

• Develop original, repeatable short-form formats for Jubilee and nectar, from concept through publish
• Pressure-test ideas against what's actually producible given our schedules, budgets, and studio space
• Kill ideas that don't work, quickly, and be clear about why

Produce

• Own formats through pre-production, production, and post, working with our Production, Casting, and Post teams
• Scope each format realistically: shoot days, cast needs, crew, and budget
• Build production plans that our teams can actually execute alongside our long-form slate

Be on camera

• Host, interview, and appear in formats where you're the right person to carry them
• Build formats that can travel beyond you, so the slate isn't dependent on a single face

Give direction

• Provide real feedback and direction to the team members contributing to short-form work
• Set the bar for what a Jubilee or nectar short-form format looks and feels like

Partner with Brand Partnerships

• Develop formats that are audience-first and genuinely attractive to brands
• Work with the BP team on how integrations live inside a format without compromising it
• Be a credible creative voice in front of partners when needed

Learn and iterate

• Use performance data to decide what gets another season, what gets reworked, and what gets shelved
• Stay ahead of platform shifts, emerging formats, and what's actually working in short-form

Who You Are:

• 2-3 years in content creation, short-form, or unscripted development and production, with formats you can point to
• You've taken original formats from idea to published, not just executed someone else's vision
• Real production literacy: you understand shoot days, call sheets, casting, crew, and what things cost
• Strong instincts for hooks, pacing, retention, and what makes someone stop scrolling
• Deep fluency in TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, and in the culture that moves on them
• Experience with branded or sponsored content, and a point of view on doing it without making it feel like an ad
• You can give clear creative feedback to people who don't report to you, and hold a room with production and partnerships
• Comfortable and compelling on camera as a host or interviewer, with work you can show us
• Hands-on enough to cut a rough edit yourself when it's faster than explaining it (Premiere, CapCut, or similar)

Nice to have

• Experience building a slate or a format pipeline from scratch
• Familiarity with the creator economy and creator collaborations

Compensation & Perks

• Competitive Compensation – $60,000 - $65,000
• Flexible PTO – Take the time you need to rest and recharge!
• Generous Holidays – Plus a sweet week-long reset at the end of the year
• Medical, dental, and vision plans – Choose the one that works best for your lifestyle!
• Team Retreats, Bonding Activities, and a People-Centered Culture
• Catered Lunches & Stocked Kitchen
• Annual Learning Stipend
• Life Insurance, 401(k) Plan
• Stock Options

Work Model

At Jubilee, we follow a hybrid work model — We’re in the El Segundo office 3 days a week and remote for 2. So, you’ll need to be local or ready to make the move!
