🏢 About Unified for Progress

Unified for Progress is building the first social network exclusively for activism, combining public news feeds, private community chats, and organizing tools like events and fundraising. This is a rare opportunity to shape the voice of a platform that empowers real-world change, working remotely with a mission-driven team.

About This Role

As In-House Content Creator, you'll be the face and voice of Unified's short-form video content, hosting interviews with activists and editing them for Instagram Reels and TikTok. Your work directly drives user acquisition and engagement, making activism accessible and compelling to a broad audience.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by reviewing performance metrics from yesterday's posts, then schedule interviews with 2-3 activists via Buffer. After filming and editing a Reel in CapCut, you'll write captions and design end cards before publishing. The afternoon could involve iterating on a series based on engagement data and coordinating with the team on upcoming content themes.
