Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is:
-Experienced in content creation or video production. You are a skilled videographer and editor who is visually curious and meets a majority of the technical qualifications listed above. You must be able to independently shoot, edit, and publish films.
-Extremely organized. You'll be coordinating footage, deadlines, and multiple projects at once. You should be able to work in a fast-paced news environment and be willing to work on weekends.
-Knowledgeable About Current Events. You’ll be making videos about the most pressing issues, from AI to foreign policy and immigration. You have to know what’s going on, and how to concisely convey the information in video form.
-Curious. You should genuinely enjoy learning about unfamiliar places and people and figuring out what makes a story interesting.
-Ambitious. Roca is a growing company with big goals. We want someone who wants responsibility, moves quickly, and is excited to build.
-Nose for good video content. Being able to select the best bits of footage and segments of a conversation is critical to making a successful video.
-Mission-Aligned. We are fiercely non-partisan. We believe established news outlets are often biased and out-of-touch; influencers are often poorly informed and sensationalist; and cable news networks are hopelessly partisan. Being aligned with this mission is a prerequisite for working at Roca.
-Detail-oriented. You should have strong attention to detail, particularly for on-screen text, statistics, names, fact-checking, and captions.
-Willing to learn. You won't have all the answers on day one. You must be willing and able to grow into the role.
-Note: Journalism degree/experience is not required.
-Must be legally eligible to work in the United States and able to relocate to New York City.
