Social Media Producer/Editor

First We Feast—the studio behind Hot Ones, Versus, Heat Eaters, and more—is seeking a Social Media Producer/Editor to create, produce, and edit compelling social-first video content across all platforms. This role will support the development of original concepts, behind-the-scenes storytelling, and platform-specific creative that expands the First We Feast universe and engages our passionate audience.

Why We’re Hiring This Role

In late 2024, we spun out of a parent company; throughout 2025 we completed our transition to an independent, creator-led studio. Now, in 2026, we’re making the biggest investment we’ve ever made in content, including doubling our social team to launch new, talent-driven social formats that drive audience and engagement and are built for brand integration.

What You’ll Do

• Oversee the production and editing of new-to-world social original series, from concept development and creative execution;


• Produce/edit social content that showcases and complements our longform content, including Hot Ones: behind-the-scenes moments, special events, and social-first creative;


• Support in-studio and on-location shoots, helping with setup, filming, lighting, audio, and overall production needs;


• Capture run-and-gun, day-of social assets during shoots, events, and activations.


• Edit short-form video content for social platforms delivering clean, fast-turnaround, platform-native cuts;


• Inform our social strategy by monitoring platform trends, creative formats, and new features;


• Optimize video performance and guide future series development by reviewing and interpret social analytics;


• Maintain organized project files, footage logs, and edit timelines to support efficient workflows.

What You’ll Bring

• 4+ years of professional experience producing and editing social video content, especially within food, entertainment, or pop culture;


• Strong shooting and editing skills — you’re confident capturing content on iPhone and cameras and delivering clean, polished edits in Adobe Premiere with the ability to work in-platform when needed;


• A grasp of short-form storytelling and mobile-native formats, especially TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts;


• Awareness of internet culture, trending formats, food trends, and pop culture conversations;


• Proactivity, curiosity, and creativity— you’re excited to experiment, iterate, and grow while supporting the Social Team.
