Short-Form Content & Social Media Coordinator
The Authentic Journey is looking for a creative, reliable content creator to help turn our long-form podcast and video content into engaging short form content and manage the distribution of that content across social media.
We're ideally looking for one person who can both edit short-form videos and manage social media posting, but we're open to candidates who specialize in one area.
What You'll Be Doing
Short-Form Content
-Review podcast and long-form video episodes to identify strong moments, stories, hooks, and insights.
-Edit clips into engaging 30–90 second vertical videos.
-Create content for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and other social platforms.
-Add captions, graphics, punch-ins, B-roll, music, and other elements when appropriate.
-Create strong opening hooks while maintaining the speaker's original message and voice.
-Repurpose existing long-form content into multiple pieces of short-form content.
Social Media
-Upload and schedule approved content across our social platforms.
-Write captions, titles, descriptions, and basic calls to action.
-Properly format and optimize posts for each platform.
-Maintain a consistent posting schedule.
-Organize content so we know what has been posted, scheduled, and is still in production.
-Help identify which topics and clips are performing well so we can create more of what works.
Who We're Looking For
You should have:
-Experience editing vertical short form video.
-A strong understanding of Reels, Shorts, and TikTok.
-Good instincts for identifying compelling moments from longer conversations.
-Strong attention to detail.
-Good communication and ability to meet deadlines.
-Ability to work independently once the creative direction is established.
Experience with podcasts, personal brands, entrepreneurship, storytelling, motivational content, sports, or interview based content is a plus.
We're less concerned about what editing software you use and more concerned about your storytelling, pacing, judgment, and ability to recognize a great clip.
About The Authentic Journey
The Authentic Journey is a growing content brand centered around stories, experiences, personal growth, and the lessons we can learn from successful and influential people.
We're evolving the brand beyond simply creating a podcast. Our goal is to build a recognizable media platform with consistent, high-quality content across multiple channels.
To Apply
Please send:
-A brief video introduction about yourself. **Instructions Below**
-3–5 examples of short-form videos you've edited.
-Examples of social media accounts you've helped manage, if applicable.
-Which areas you're strongest in: editing, social media management, or both.
-Your typical availability and turnaround time.
-Your rate or preferred compensation structure.
Video Introduction Required
Please submit a 60–90 second video introduction created specifically for this application.
In your video, please answer:
-Introduce yourself and tell us what you specialize in.
-Tell us whether you're stronger in short-form editing, social media management, or both.
-After reviewing The Authentic Journey, tell us one thing you would change or improve about our current short-form/social content and why.
-Tell us what you think makes a podcast clip worth stopping and watching instead of scrolling past.
Important: Please mention The Authentic Journey by name somewhere in your video.
Please do not apply with a generic or pre-recorded introduction video that you send to every job posting. If you're submitting a video introduction, take a moment to tell us why you're interested in The Authentic Journey specifically and what you believe you could bring to the content.
We're looking for someone who actually reads the job description and is interested in becoming part of what we're building, not someone mass applying to editing jobs.
Bonus: Pick one piece of long-form content you've previously worked on and briefly explain how you d
