We’re looking for an experienced Social Media Producer/Writer to lead daily social content for an award-winning feature documentary that has screened at numerous documentary festivals.

- Professional social media and writing experience
- Previous writing experience covering medical, mental-health or significant social issues
- Experience writing for a documentary film, documentary series, publication, news organization or comparable editorial platform
- Excellent research, fact-checking and editorial judgment
- The ability to write thoughtfully about sensitive medical and legal subjects

- U.S. residency
Compensation: $1,000/month
Commitment: Part-time/freelance; daily posts
