Social Content Producer

About the role

Absurd is a filmmaker-led AI filmmaking software company and studio that creates tools for directors, writers, artists, editors, designers, and creative teams to produce ambitious work that previously would not have been possible. The company’s work spans award-winning films, original projects, commercial productions, events, product experiments, and a steadily expanding creative community.

The team is hiring a Social Content Producer who can translate all of that activity into an online presence people genuinely want to follow. This role needs someone who feels equally at home behind a camera, inside an edit timeline, building a content plan, and understanding what resonates on the internet.

This is not a scheduling-only or template-based social media role. The goal is to make Absurd feel active, culturally aware, filmmaker-led, and difficult to ignore online.

What you will do

• Produce and edit premium social-first photo and video content across office life, events, shoots, product demos, filmmaker sessions, commercial work, and narrative projects.
• Capture behind-the-scenes images and clips that make the company, its filmmakers, and its work feel polished, current, and authentic.
• Turn launches, creator visits, productions, demos, and events into compelling content sequences for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, and other relevant platforms.
• Develop short-form edits, reels, trailers, creator features, interviews, tutorials, office and process content, product clips, launch assets, and campaign cutdowns.
• Help shape the brand’s visual style and editorial tone across social channels.
• Create a steady posting rhythm without making the brand feel like a generic AI content account.
• Partner with Growth and Creator Partnerships to support creator acquisition, beta onboarding, events, partnerships, product adoption, commercial credibility, and community expansion.
• Review performance, spot content patterns, and refine the strategy based on what is working.
• Keep footage, photos, selects, project files, and social-ready edits well organized and easy to access.

What we are looking for

The ideal candidate is first and foremost a skilled shooter and editor, with strong instincts for social content. You should be able to capture polished photo and video in fast-paced environments, edit quickly with good taste, and understand hooks, pacing, captions, sound, thumbnails, and why people keep scrolling.

We want someone who understands the difference between content that only gets views and content that helps build a brand.

• You have a genuine short-form portfolio, not just a list of brand names.
• You can take a concept from idea to final edit quickly and independently.
• You understand film, music, fashion, design, internet culture, creator culture, and emerging creative technology.
• You can turn a small creative moment into something that feels culturally meaningful.
• You are comfortable working in an early-stage environment where systems are still evolving.
• You can work quickly without sacrificing quality or making the output feel rushed.
• You bring strong taste, clear opinions, and good judgment about what should stay offline.

Experience using AI filmmaking tools is an advantage, but taste, editorial instincts, and execution matter more.

What success looks like

In the first 90 days, success means helping establish a clear visual and editorial language for the company’s social presence, building a realistic content calendar around launches, creator activity, films, events, and commercial work, creating repeatable content formats, and turning productions and events into a strong library of usable content.

The objective is not simply to publish more. It is to make the right audience pay attention: filmmakers, creators, brands, agencies, collaborators, and future teammates.

Not the right fit if you want

• A role focused only on design templates and scheduling.
• A generic corporate social media position.
• A job where follower count is the only measure of success.
