About the

Role:

We're looking for a social-first creator to embed with a congressional campaign and create authentic, engaging video for Instagram, TikTok, and other digital platforms. This isn't traditional political advertising or commercial production. We're looking for someone who instinctively understands short-form storytelling, who can recognize authentic moments as they happen, move quickly, and turn everyday interactions into compelling social content that helps voters connect with the candidate. If you think in Reels before you think in films, we'd love to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Follow the candidate on the campaign trail, capturing day-to-day moments, events, and behind-the-scenes interactions.
• Shoot, edit, and publish content independently with no production crew.
• Identify authentic moments that communicate personality, humor, leadership, and connection.
• Create short-form vertical videos optimized for Instagram Reels and TikTok.
• Deliver fast-turnaround content, often within hours of filming.
• Work closely with the campaign's Social Media Strategist to respond to current events and campaign priorities.
• Maintain an efficient mobile editing workflow in CapCut.

Ideal Candidate:

• You are a creator first and a shooter second.
• You understand what performs on Instagram and TikTok and can move quickly without sacrificing good storytelling.
• You are comfortable working independently, making creative decisions on the fly, and producing finished content from capture through delivery.
• You enjoy working directly with people, helping them feel comfortable on camera, and finding authentic moments that resonate with audiences.

Requirements:

• Demonstrated experience creating engaging short-form social content.
• Strong mobile shooting skills using an iPhone (or equivalent smartphone).
• Proficiency editing in CapCut.
• Comfortable working independently in fast-moving, unpredictable environments.
• Must provide your own mobile production kit (smartphone, wireless audio, stabilization, portable lighting, etc.).
• Willingness to travel throughout the district and work evenings and weekends as campaign needs dictate. Portfolio Submission Please include:
• 3-5 Instagram Reels, TikToks, or YouTube Shorts that best represent your work.
• Links to your Instagram, TikTok, or online portfolio (if available).
• A brief description of your role on each project. Bonus Experience Experience in any of the following is a plus:
• Political campaigns
• Journalism
• Documentary filmmaking
• Sports or live event coverage
• Creator economy / influencer content
• News or current affairs

Mobile-First Workflow:

This role is built around a mobile-first workflow. Content will be captured and edited using an iPhone (or equivalent smartphone) and CapCut, with the goal of creating fast, authentic, platform-native content for Instagram and TikTok. We're looking for someone who is already comfortable working this way

• capturing real moments, editing quickly, and delivering content that feels immediate, energetic, and native to social rather than traditional film.
