When applying, please attach a resume outlining your creative and production experience and include a link to your portfolio or link to two to three pieces of work that show your storytelling range, from cinematic edits to quick-turn social content. As optional, provide examples that demonstrate your ability to bring emotional or human storytelling to life in short form.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

 

The Recording Academy is looking for a story-driven, hands-on Social Media Video Producer who can turn raw moments into stories that move people.

 

This isn’t about filters or flash. It’s about feel, the energy of the room, the heartbeat of a performance, the emotion in an artist’s voice. You know how to find the story within the story and translate it into social content that feels human, cinematic, and alive.

 

You can take a loose creative direction, interpret it, and see it through, on time, on brand, and within budget. You thrive in ambiguity, stay calm under pressure, and know how to make something great with whatever tools you’ve got. You’re equally comfortable shooting with an iPhone or a DSLR camera, editing on your laptop or mobile, and working side by side with a team that’s always pushing to evolve how the GRAMMYs show up online.

 

You will collaborate closely with the Director, Social Media Marketing and the Community Manager to help redefine how the Academy tells stories, bringing grit, truth, and creativity to everything from high-profile moments to quick social trends. The ideal candidate brings experience from a creative agency, social platform, or music video production environment, combining creative discipline with the speed and intuition of a modern content producer. This role blends creativity and execution — part shooter, part editor, part storyteller — and requires someone fluent in music culture, internet culture, and production who’s comfortable interacting with celebrity talent and high-profile industry figures in fast-moving, high-visibility settings.

 

If you’re a creator who loves music and wants to tell meaningful stories through motion, this is your stage.

 

 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

 

• Concept, capture, and edit social-first video across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Threads, and emerging platforms, from idea to final delivery.
• Craft short and long-form storytelling that explores the human side of artistry, what drives creators, what they fight for, and why it matters.
• Produce a mix of cinematic storytelling and quick-turn trend content, balancing creativity, efficiency, and attention to detail.
• Collaborate across Social, Creative, and Marketing teams to translate creative direction into compelling, story-led visual content.
• Work independently and confidently through evolving direction, shaping ideas, managing timelines, and delivering high-quality work.
• Capture behind-the-scenes, live, and event footage during GRAMMY-related moments with professionalism and instinct.
• Edit with rhythm and purpose, matching visuals, sound, and pacing to create emotional impact and audience retention.
• Use native tools and industry-standard software to produce content that feels intentional, relevant, and platform-specific.
• Maintain organized workflows, version tracking, and file management for efficiency and collaboration.
• Experiment with new creative tools and techniques (curiosity and adaptability matter more than fancy gear).

 

 

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

 

• 4+ years producing and editing video for social, music, entertainment, or culture-driven brands.
• Strong storytelling instincts with the ability to find narrative arcs in real moments and translate them into shareable content.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, and/or Final Cut Pro.
• Familiarity with mobile-first tools (CapCut, Canva, or comparable apps).
• Expertise in both capture and edit. Must be comfortable behind the camera and in post-production.
• Experience managing multiple projects and meeting deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Must be confident shooting with both iPhone and DSLR camera setups.
• An understanding of short-form video formats, storytelling rhythms, and platform trends (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Threads).
• Must be Collaborative and communicative with the ability to thrive in team settings and take feedback with professionalism and curiosity.
• An eagerness to learn new techniques, workflows, and creative technologies.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted editing or production tools a plus.
