YOUR MISSION
True Anomaly's in-house Creative Content Production team tells the story of a company building space security. We cover the people, facilities, spacecraft, and test campaigns behind that work across Denver, Colorado Springs, Long Beach, and our test sites. The team is small and generalist, working in two pods (Denver and Long Beach), and everyone on it produces, shoots, and edits.
As Content Producer, Social, you will be the team's fastest maker. You'll shoot and edit short-form, platform-native video and photo from our Denver and Colorado Springs sites, capturing the work as it happens and turning it around while it still matters. You'll make content for LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube, working from the master content calendar our team builds with the Head of Social Media and the wider Marketing team.
This is not a social media manager role, but you will know the platforms like the back of your hand. You'll report to the Director of Content Production and work day to day with our Denver-based Content Producer.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Capture
- Be on the ground for test events, milestones, facility days, visits, and company events, often with little notice.
- Shoot vertical-first and short-form video and stills, on cinema cameras and phones, as a one-person crew.
Edit and Ship
- Edit quickly and well, with same-day or 24-hour turnaround when it counts.
- Craft hooks, on-screen text, and animated captions, add simple motion and transitions within our social templates, and deliver platform-specific versions and specs.
- Pull social cuts and selects from the team's larger productions.
Formats and Feedback
- Pitch your own ideas with a clear point of view, drawing on what you see on the ground in Denver and Colorado Springs and what’s working on each platform.
- Help develop repeatable series and formats that the team can produce reliably every week.
- Adapt platform trends with good judgment for a defense brand, knowing which ones fit and which to skip.
- Review performance with the Head of Social Media and bring what you learn back into how we shoot and cut.
Be Part of the Crew
- Contribute camera, photo, and edit work on the team's bigger films and campaigns across both team pods.
- Work within True Anomaly's security and content-review processes, even on fast turnarounds.
- Keep media organized so social selects and raw footage are easy to find and reuse.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 3–5+ years of experience creating short-form social video and photo for a brand, agency, creator, or media outlet, with work you shot and edited yourself.
- A portfolio of social content, with evidence of results where you have it.
- Strong storytelling instincts. You can find the story in what’s in front of you, shape it with a clear point of view, and make deliberate choices about hook, tone, pacing, and what the audience should take away.
- Deep, current fluency in LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and YouTube (including Shorts): formats, specs, trends, and audience behavior, plus a sharp sense of what earns and holds attention on each.
- Fast, confident editing in Adobe Premiere Pro and short-form tools, including basic motion work: animated captions, simple transitions, and building within existing social templates.
- Comfort shooting video and photo, on cinema cameras (Sony experience is ideal) and on phone, with good instincts for light and sound in the field.
- A good design eye. You don’t need to be a designer, but you have solid instincts for typography, layout, and composition.
- Editorial judgment about tone. You can be engaging without being flippant about serious subject matter.
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where the function, systems, and workflows are still being built.
- Genuine interest in aerospace, defense, or national security is a meaningful signal, though prior industry experience is not required.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
- Experience working alongside social media marketing teams.
- Social experience for B2B, deep-tech, aerospace, or defense brands.
- Advanced motion graphics in After Effects, such as custom animation or building new social templates.
- Comfort directing employees on camera for talking-head and explainer content.
- FAA Part 107 drone certification.
COMPENSATION
- Base Salary: $65,000 - 120,000
- Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
