About Voto Latino

Voto Latino (VL) is a pioneering civic media organization focused on empowering Gen-Z and Millennial Latinos through digital innovation, strategic communications, and grassroots engagement. VL is currently seeking a Social Media Manager – Content Creator & Video Engagement to join our fast-moving digital team.

Position Summary

Voto Latino is looking for a high-output content creator who lives and breathes short-form video. This is not a traditional social media management role — it is a production-first position built for someone who can shoot, edit, and publish mass volumes of video content quickly, without sacrificing quality or message. This role is primarily focused on Voto Latino Foundation (C3) work, supporting nonpartisan civic engagement, education, and community focused content. The role will also collaborate on select Voto Latino (C4) advocacy campaigns as needed, requiring an understanding of how to navigate distinct messaging and compliance requirements. Reporting to the VP of Digital Engagement, this role will lead video content strategy across platforms to keep our channels fast, relevant, and engaging.

Key Responsibilities:

• Produce and publish high volumes of short-form video content daily across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, Bluesky, and Threads.
• Shoot, edit, and deliver rapid-response video content in real time — turning breaking news and cultural moments into compelling content within hours.
• Operate video editing tools proficiently and independently, including but not limited to CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
• Develop and maintain content calendars aligned with campaigns, advocacy priorities, and the organizational news cycle.
• Draft scripts and talking points for direct-to-camera video segments, reels, and social cuts.
• Manage day-to-day activity across all of Voto Latino’s social platforms, ensuring content is timely, on-brand, and optimized for each channel.
• Monitor analytics and performance data, using insights to continuously improve content volume, reach, and engagement.
• Collaborate with the communications and policy teams to translate complex issues — immigration, voting rights, civic engagement — into accessible, shareable video content.
• Maintain brand consistency and quality across all video and social output.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in social media, digital content creation, or video production.
• Demonstrated ability to produce mass volumes of video content quickly and independently — a portfolio or reel is required.
• Expert-level proficiency in video editing tools, including CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or equivalent.
• Strong instincts for what performs on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts — and the skills to execute it fast.
• Strong copywriting and scripting skills with a sharp, authentic voice.
• Experience with analytics tools (Meta Insights, Sprout Social, Google Analytics, TikTok Analytics, etc.).
• Deep knowledge of immigration, civic engagement, and social justice issues, with experience in political campaigns or advocacy organizations.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, rapid-response environment and meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Spanish proficiency is strongly preferred.
• Experience managing or coordinating with remote collaborators is a plus.

What Sets the Ideal Candidate Apart:

The ideal candidate is a one-person production powerhouse — someone who can pick up a phone, film a segment, edit it on the spot, and have it live before the news cycle moves on. They understand the urgency of civic media, have a grasp of immigration, civic engagement, and social justice issues, and have a finger on the pulse of Latino culture and politics. They know how to make content that moves people to act..

Salary & Benefits

Salary range $ 70,000–$75,000 annually, commensurate with experience. Voto Latino also offers competitive benefits, including health insurance and paid vacation leave. This is a full- time employment position.
