Role overview

A boutique financial planning firm is seeking a high-ownership content operator to build and scale its social video presence. This person will act as the captain of the content ship: planning, directing, scripting, producing, and publishing engaging content that grows audience reach and supports advisor appointment generation.


Primary objective

Create a repeatable content engine that turns subject-matter expertise into high-performing short-form and long-form video content across social channels.


Key responsibilities:



  • Own day-to-day social/video content direction and production.

  • Build content plans based on trends, performance data, and business priorities.

  • Write or refine scripts for on-camera talent.

  • Direct recording sessions and keep talent on message, efficient, and engaging.

  • Manage publishing workflow across channels.

  • Review performance metrics and continuously improve content strategy.

  • Recommend additional resources as needed, such as editors, clippers, or cameras.

  • Collaborate with leadership to align content with business goals and fiduciary brand standards.

  • Push for measurable growth in views, engagement, and appointment generation.


Success outcomes:



  • Faster, more efficient content production.

  • Stronger on-camera execution and clearer storytelling.

  • Increased reach, engagement, and channel growth.

  • A scalable process that can support future team expansion.


Who will succeed in this role:



  • A strategic producer who can also execute.

  • Someone who has worked in or around high-performing media or financial content environments.

  • A person with the confidence to challenge ideas, explain rationale, and drive decisions.

  • A candidate motivated by ownership and long-term upside, not just a paycheck.


Must have:



  • Proven ability to own and lead content production.

  • Strong judgment and willingness to speak up with a point of view.

  • Ability to direct on-camera talent and improve performance.

  • Experience producing content for social/video channels.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.

  • Alignment with a fiduciary, client-first brand.

  • Ability to translate strategy into execution.

  • Comfortable using AI as a tool, while still applying expert judgment.

  • Able to deliver measurable improvement within 3-6 months.

  • Strong communication and collaboration with senior leadership.


Nice-to-have:



  • Background at a major financial media or education channel.

  • Experience with a large audience or high-volume content operation.

  • Hands-on editing, clipping, or publishing experience.

  • Familiarity with studio setups, teleprompters, and multi-camera workflows.

  • Arizona-based or willing to work in a hybrid/in-person model.

  • Experience with equity-based or startup-style growth environments.

  • Experience scaling from small team to broader production support.

  • Portfolio showing strong storytelling, engagement growth, or audience-building wins.


The target hiring compensation for this role is $75k-$100k base salary + bonus + equity. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
