Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is:
-Experienced in content creation or video production. You are a skilled editor who is visually curious and meets the technical qualifications listed above. Being able to independently shoot, edit, and publish films is a plus.
-Extremely organized. You'll be coordinating footage, deadlines, and multiple projects and revisions 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. Must have extremely strong editorial judgment.
-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 extremely strong attention to detail and proofreading capabilities, particularly for on-screen text, statistics, names, fact-checking, and captions.
-Willing to learn and give/receive feedback. You won't have all the answers on day one. You must be willing and able to grow into the role, including both giving and receiving constructive feedback.
-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.-
