Sonic Summary

info
  • Clipbook is seeking its first content producer to develop a video and podcast program from the ground up.
  • The role requires strong production skills, including experience with Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci, and a solid understanding of social media performance.
  • Candidates should have a taste for quality content and the ability to manage all aspects of production, from strategy to editing and distribution.
  • The position is full-time with a starting salary of $70,000, including benefits, and requires adaptability in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Ideal applicants should have a few years of relevant experience, though taste and resourcefulness are prioritized over formal education.

Overview

  • This is our first content hire. We're looking for a producer to build Clipbook's video and podcast program from scratch.

  • We work with the communications teams at some of the most influential organizations in public affairs, government, and advocacy. Those are the people you'd be filming.

  • You'd own the whole thing: strategy, booking, shooting, editing, publishing. We're fifteen people, profitable and growing fast.


Roles and Responsibilities:

Podcast strategy

  • Decide what we make and why: the show's premise, who it's for, and value delivered

  • Own formats, the editorial calendar, and the publishing schedule

  • Source, research, book and prep our guests

  • Own how the show looks and sounds

Video production

  • Run the podcast and our executive and customer video from pre-production through post

  • Handle camera, lighting, and audio on site, and rent gear in whatever city we're shooting in

  • Turn each shoot into a full package: clips, stills, captions, thumbnails, graphics

  • Keep the look consistent across shoots so footage from different locations cuts together

Distribution

  • Edit long-form episodes and cut them for LinkedIn, YouTube, and X

  • Work with GTM on the calendar and keep us publishing on schedule

  • Track what performs and feed it back into what we make next

Travel to shoots in US.

Other duties as assigned.

Strong Candidates Will Have:

  • Taste. This is valued more than years of experience or your education.

  • Production skills - comfortable owning a two- or three-camera setup, lighting a room you've never been in, and troubleshooting audio without a second set of hands.

  • Experience with Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci, plus working comfort with motion graphics and sound design.

  • A strong eye for what performs on social, and the judgment to cut for attention without cutting for cheapness.

  • Resourcefulness with a budget: you know when to rent, when to hire local crew, and when to just get it done.

  • Highly motivated and results-oriented with intense responsiveness, coachability, and a strong drive to succeed.

  • Adaptability and willingness to thrive in a nimble, execution-focused startup.

  • Interest in media, communications, or business storytelling is a plus.

Logistics:

Full-time: Starting at $70,000; full medical, dental, and vision benefits, flexible PTO, and 401(k).

Part-time/Contract: $25-$30 per hour. ~10–20 hours per week. Remote between shoots; travel covered.


To apply:

Submit through ashby and attach any relevant reels/portfolios. Ideally include one project you produced end to end, and tell us what you'd have done differently with more time or budget.
