TEKsystems is hiring: Social Editor in Washington

About the Role
Hybrid with travel; portfolio required. We are looking for a fast, resourceful, and editorially sharp Social Content Editor to support social media content for a high‑level leader. This role focuses on speed, polish, and storytelling—turning raw footage into compelling, platform‑native content across major social platforms. You’ll work closely with leadership and cross‑functional partners in a fast‑paced, high‑trust environment and be comfortable editing on the phone between meetings as well as crafting polished edits at your desk. The role skews heavily toward post‑production and editorial craft, with baseline capture skills expected. Your work will evolve with the executive’s social presence; you should be energized by that ambiguity.

What You’ll Do

Edit short‑form social content including sizzle reels, talking heads, interviews, and event recaps.

Operate as a near‑independent content creator—shooting and editing primarily on mobile with minimal production support.

Adapt content for multiple social platforms, understanding each platform’s best practices.

Create light motion graphics, text overlays, and visual treatments to elevate content.

Design and produce simple graphic content such as quote cards, branded templates, and visual assets.

Maintain fast turnaround without sacrificing quality or editorial judgment.

Collaborate directly with executives and stakeholders with professionalism and discretion.

Evolve the content playbook over time as the executive’s channel and audience grow.

What You Bring

5‑7 years of experience in social content editing with a strong portfolio of fast‑turnaround, polished short‑form work.

Expert‑level proficiency in mobile editing tools such as CapCut, InShot, Adobe Rush, or similar, and desktop software such as Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro.

Ability to capture usable footage on a smartphone when needed.

Experience supporting executive, political, or public‑affairs communication content.

Strong business acumen and interpersonal skills; comfortable working with leaders.

Sharp editorial eye for pacing, storytelling, tone, and platform‑native style.

Familiarity with basic graphic design and motion graphics; animation is a plus.

Self‑starter mentality with the ability to manage your own workflow.

Neutral, professional tone across all content.

Nice to Have

Experience in political media, influencer content, or public‑figure social strategy.

Experience with animation or advanced motion graphics.

Knowledge of major social platforms and content best practices.
