Social Media Producer/EditorNew York, NY
Social Media Producer/Editor
First We Feast—the studio behind Hot Ones, Versus, Heat Eaters, and more—is seeking a Social Media Producer/Editor to create, produce, and edit compelling social-first video content across all platforms. This role will support the development of original concepts, behind-the-scenes storytelling, and platform-specific creative that expands the First We Feast universe and engages our passionate audience.
Why We’re Hiring This Role
In late 2024, we spun out of a parent company; throughout 2025 we completed our transition to an independent, creator-led studio. Now, in 2026, we’re making the biggest investment we’ve ever made in content, including doubling our social team to launch new, talent-driven social formats that drive audience and engagement and are built for brand integration.
What You’ll Do
- Oversee the production and editing of new-to-world social original series, from concept development and creative execution;
- Produce/edit social content that showcases and complements our longform content, including Hot Ones: behind-the-scenes moments, special events, and social-first creative;
- Support in-studio and on-location shoots, helping with setup, filming, lighting, audio, and overall production needs;
- Capture run-and-gun, day-of social assets during shoots, events, and activations.
- Edit short-form video content for social platforms delivering clean, fast-turnaround, platform-native cuts;
- Inform our social strategy by monitoring platform trends, creative formats, and new features;
- Optimize video performance and guide future series development by reviewing and interpret social analytics;
- Maintain organized project files, footage logs, and edit timelines to support efficient workflows.
What You’ll Bring
- 4+ years of professional experience producing and editing social video content, especially within food, entertainment, or pop culture;
- Strong shooting and editing skills — you’re confident capturing content on iPhone and cameras and delivering clean, polished edits in Adobe Premiere with the ability to work in-platform when needed;
- A grasp of short-form storytelling and mobile-native formats, especially TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts;
- Awareness of internet culture, trending formats, food trends, and pop culture conversations;
- Proactivity, curiosity, and creativity— you’re excited to experiment, iterate, and grow while supporting the Social Team.
To apply, please complete the online application and provide all required information. Incomplete applications or applications received outside of our careers page will not be considered.
This is an on-site position based in our Midtown NYC office/studio. Our team works together in person Tuesday through Thursday, with the flexibility to work from anywhere on other days.

U.S. Standard Demographic Questions
Voluntary Self-Identification
For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.
As set forth in First We Feast’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:
A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability
Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.
Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will
