Sharon McMahon Education is hiring: Social Media Producer in New York City

Sharon McMahon Education · New York City, US, USA · Remote ·

Job type:
Full Time

Sharon McMahon is looking for a Social Media Producer/Editor who lives and breathes the news cycle — someone who's plugged into politics and current events, has a sharp sense of what's resonating (and why) across platforms, and can move fast without sacrificing quality. This is a hands-on content role: producing and cutting video and social posts that support Sharon’s continued growth across social media.

Sharon (@sharonsaysso) is a #1 New York Times –bestselling author, educator, speaker, and one of the most widely read independent voices covering American politics, history, government, and culture. After years teaching government and law, Sharon built a trusted national platform by making complex news and civic issues understandable, historically grounded, fact-based, and engaging.

If you're the person your group chat turns to for "did you see this?" — and you also know how to package that instinct into a scroll-stopping post — we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do

Produce and edit short and long form videos daily for social platforms (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, etc.)

Design and create static and graphic social content

Always keep up on political news and current events, and identify timely moments, trends, and angles worth covering

Translate breaking news and long-form journalism into fast, engaging, platform-native content

Pitch ideas and manage a content calendar for social posts

Track performance across platforms and adjust content strategy based on what's working

What We're Looking For

A genuine, active interest in politics and current events — you already follow the news closely and have opinions on how stories should be told

Strong graphic design skills (Canva, Photoshop, or similar)

A sharp eye for what performs on social media and why — platform-specific instincts, not just general ideas

Highly organized with strong attention to detail

Able to work independently and self-motivate — this is a fast-moving remote role and news doesn't wait

Comfortable with a high-output pace, especially around breaking news

Excited to grow and evolve alongside the role and the company

Takes feedback and runs with it

Details

Fully remote

Candidates must be available to work hours that substantially align with Eastern and Central Time business hours.
