Summary

Colere Nu is a modern ideas company. Through curated events, debates, dinners, media, and strategic consulting, we bring together ambitious people to have better conversations about the questions shaping our lives, businesses, and communities. We believe meaningful dialogue is a competitive advantage in an increasingly distracted world. Our mission is to create experiences and content that help people think more deeply, connect more authentically, and navigate change with greater clarity. We're a founder-led company entering an exciting growth phase and are looking for someone who wants to help build a media brand from the ground up. ## The Opportunity We're looking for a highly creative and execution-oriented Content Lead to own our content ecosystem across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, and emerging platforms. This is more than a video editing role. You'll be responsible for transforming conversations, debates, interviews, events, and founder insights into compelling digital content that grows our audience, drives engagement, and establishes Colere Nu as a leading voice at the intersection of ideas, culture, technology, business, and human flourishing. You'll work directly with the founders and play a critical role in shaping our public presence. ## What You'll Do ### Content Production & Editing * Edit high-quality short-form and long-form video content across all major social platforms. * Create engaging clips from debates, podcasts, dinners, events, interviews, and founder content. * Develop strong hooks, pacing, storytelling structures, captions, and visual elements that maximize retention. * Produce content that feels modern, culturally relevant, and native to each platform. ### Content Strategy * Help define and execute Colere Nu's content strategy. * Identify themes, narratives, and content opportunities that align with our brand and mission. * Build content calendars and publishing workflows. * Turn one conversation or event into multiple pieces of platform-specific content. ### Channel Management * Manage publishing and scheduling across all social platforms. * Write captions, titles, descriptions, and supporting copy. * Maintain a consistent brand voice and visual identity across channels. * Ensure content is optimized for reach, engagement, and discoverability. ### Analytics & Growth * Monitor performance across platforms. * Analyze audience behavior, retention, engagement, and growth metrics. * Continuously test new formats, hooks, and content strategies. * Provide recommendations based on performance data and emerging trends. ### Creative Collaboration * Work closely with the founders to develop new content concepts. * Participate in brainstorming sessions and campaign development. * Help identify opportunities to expand Colere Nu's reach and influence. * Bring ideas, not just execution. ## Who You Are ✅ Exceptional Video Editor — You create content that captures attention and keeps people watching. ✅ Deeply Online — You understand internet culture, social media trends, platform dynamics, and audience behavior. ✅ Strategic Thinker — You understand that great content is not just creative; it's designed to achieve specific outcomes. ✅ Strong Storyteller — You know how to transform raw conversations into compelling narratives. ✅ Entrepreneurial — You're excited about helping build something from an early stage rather than simply filling a role. ✅ Organized & Reliable — You can manage multiple projects and consistently hit deadlines. ✅ Curious About Big Ideas — You enjoy topics related to culture, technology, business, philosophy, AI, creativity, leadership, and the future of society. ## Preferred Qualifications * 2+ years of experience in video editing, content creation, media production, or social media management. * Proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent tools. * Experience managing social media channels and content calendars. * Strong understanding of Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and X. * Demonstrated ability to grow audiences and increase engagement. * Experience working with founders, creators, podcasts, events, media brands, or thought leadership content is highly preferred. ## What Success Looks Like Within the first 6–12 months: * Consistent, high-quality content publishing across all channels. * Meaningful audience growth and engagement. * Increased awareness of Colere Nu's events, debates, and consulting work. * A recognizable content style and brand identity. * Development of repeatable content systems that scale. This is an opportunity to become an early creative partner in building a category-defining media and experiences brand.
