Job description

Sharon McMahon is looking for a Social Media Producer/Editor who lives and breathes the news cycle — someone who's plugged into politics and current events, has a sharp sense of what's resonating (and why) across platforms, and can move fast without sacrificing quality. This is a hands‑on content role: producing and cutting video and social posts that support Sharon’s continued growth across social media.Sharon (@sharonsaysso) is a #1 New York Times–bestselling author, educator, speaker, and one of the most widely read independent voices covering American politics, history, government, and culture. After years teaching government and law, Sharon built a trusted national platform by making complex news and civic issues understandable, historically grounded, fact‑based, and engaging.

If you're the person your group chat turns to for "did you see this?" — and you also know how to package that instinct into a scroll‑stopping post — we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do

• Produce and edit short and long form videos daily for social platforms (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, etc.)
• Design and create static and graphic social content
• Always keep up on political news and current events, and identify timely moments, trends, and angles worth covering
• Translate breaking news and long‑form journalism into fast, engaging, platform-native content
• Pitch ideas and manage a content calendar for social posts
• Track performance across platforms and adjust content strategy based on what's working

What We're Looking For

• A genuine, active interest in politics and current events — you already follow the news closely and have opinions on how stories should be told
• Strong graphic design skills (Canva, Photoshop, or similar)
• A sharp eye for what performs on social media and why — platform‑specific instincts, not just general ideas
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• Able to work independently and self‑motivate — this is a fast‑moving remote role and news doesn't wait
• Comfortable with a high‑output pace, especially around breaking news
• Excited to grow and evolve alongside the role and the company
• Takes feedback and runs with it

Details

• Fully remote
• Candidates must be available to work hours that substantially align with Eastern and Central Time business hours.
