Job Description

Vulture is expanding its video operation with the hiring of a Video Producer. This is a high-impact, hands-on role for an ambitious producer/editor who can create standout video storytelling, establish production systems, and translate Vulture's editorial voice into new formats and platforms. You'll work from our New York office and collaborate closely with editorial, social, audience, and Vox Studios partners, helping to guide the strategy, standards, and day-to-day workflows for video at Vulture.

WHO WE ARE

Vulture, New York Magazine's home for pop culture and entertainment coverage, is where savvy culture consumers come to find sharp, obsessive coverage of their favorite entertainment and the people who create it.

Vulture is part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what's now, what's next, and what's possible.

As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media. This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own end-to-end video production for Vulture: conceive, pitch, produce, shoot, edit and deliver ambitious short- and long-form video across web, YouTube, and social platforms.

• Help add structure to Vulture's video program: create production templates, naming conventions, file-delivery standards, budgeting processes, and a rollout calendar.
  
• Produce studio and remote shoots: coordinate with Vox Studios to secure gear, set up and operate camera, lighting and sound, or hire and oversee shooters and crew for field shoots.
  
• Edit videos for horizontal and vertical formats, including color correction, audio mix, and simple motion graphics.
  
• Design or commission thumbnails and title sequences.
  
• Build a roster of freelance videographers, editors, and motion designers; negotiate rates and scope, and commission external teams as needed.
  
• Source and book talent, manage on-set logistics, and liaise with publicists and agents.
  
• Collaborate across teams: work with editors, social editors, the audience team, and product to optimize storytelling, distribution, and engagement strategy.
  
• Use metrics and feedback to iterate on formats, timing, and promotion; run post-mortems and use performance data to inform future ideas.
  
• Ensure legal and clearance processes are followed for music, clips and talent releases, working with Legal/Clearance as needed.
  
• Troubleshoot technical and production challenges in real time and maintain production equipment or vendor relationships.

WHO YOU ARE

Proven track record producing and editing digital video for editorial or branded platforms.

• Strong hands-on experience with camera, lighting and sound setup and operation; comfortable running shoots alone or leading small crews.
  
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects; strong sense for pacing, story, and visual design.
  
• Demonstrated ability to shoot and edit for both horizontal (YouTube/web) and vertical (TikTok/Reels) formats.
  
• Experience creating motion graphics, title sequences and thumbnails.
  
• Excellent project management skills — able to juggle multiple projects, timelines, freelancers and stakeholders simultaneously.
  
• Comfortable working autonomously and making editorial and production decisions as the primary video lead.
  
• Strong communication skills and the ability to partner with editors, social, audience, legal and external vendors.
  
• A portfolio or reel demonstrating producing and editing credits and your role on each project.
  

Preferred

4–6+ years producing and editing digital video; experience launching or leading a small video initiative or team.

• Experience building vendor networks and managing freelance rosters.
  
• Familiarity with codecs, transcodes, deliverables, metadata, and media asset management best practices.
  
• Basic audio mixing, color grading, and motion design skills beyond cut-level editing.
  
• Experience using analytics tools to measure video performance and inform editorial decisions.
  
• Prior experience booking high-profile talent or handling talent logistics for editorial shoots.

Why this role matters

This role is ideal for a self-starter who is excited by both the craft of making distinctive video and the work of building processes, systems, and relationships that let that work scale. You'll have editorial freedom to experiment, influence Vulture's multimedia strategy, and shape how our culture coverage lives on screen.
