OVERVIEW
We’re looking for a great writer and visual storyteller to join our social media team and create video content for our social platforms.
Business and finance news isn’t the most exciting thing, we get that. That’s where you come in. Your job is to pique the interest of our audience on things like the FTC suing to block the JetBlue-Spirit merger through video.
You need to be in the know (or be willing to be in the know) about everything that goes on in the world of business news.
The next step is to take all that boring information and turn it into an engaging piece of video content. Straight to camera reporting is good, but you know what’s even better, a sketch explainer breaking down the Silicon Valley Bank crash. Basically, concepts and visuals are just as important as the story and writing itself.
