Project Healthy Minds is a mental health tech non-profit startup. We are pioneering a first-of-its-kind model: applying technology to address one of the biggest social issues of our time: the growing mental health crisis. We believe in a simple, but profound idea: that it should be as easy to find mental health services as it is to book a flight or a restaurant reservation. That's why we're building the world’s first digital marketplace for finding mental health services that are right for you.

To do that, we work with some of the most inspiring and influential leaders in America - business titans, tech entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists, musicians, artists, athletes, media stars, policymakers, and more. Because we believe that the world's most complex challenges require interdisciplinary teams and solutions.

We are backed by a powerhouse of industry-leading Board of Directors and Advisory Council Members who are passionate, hands-on, and dive into the important work with us.

ABOUT THE ROLE

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

We’re hiring a NYC-based Social Producer & Host to lead the interviewing and editing across Project Healthy Minds’ social video series.

We’re looking for someone charismatic, organized, and creatively sharp—someone who can show up on camera and bring content to life. This role is for a true hybrid: equally comfortable on-camera as you are editing footage and managing a production calendar.

You’ll sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, owning both the research and vision, as well as the day-to-day production and editing of content. The ideal candidate blends strong storytelling instincts with organizational skills, with a deep understanding of how audiences engage with social content.

You won’t be working the camera—but you’ll own everything around it.

• On-Camera Presence & Interviewing – The natural ability to lead compelling, empathetic, on-camera conversations with guests ranging from mental health advocates to executives to cultural figures — making every subject feel heard while keeping content sharp and on-brand.
• Post-Interview Editing – Own the post-production process end-to-end, editing the raw interviews into tight, platform-ready content with sharp hooks and a clear narrative view.
• Production & Project Management – The organizational firepower to coordinate shoots, manage cross-functional timelines, brief edit teams, and keep multiple content series running simultaneously without anything slipping.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration – The instinct to work fluidly across social, editorial, brand, and external partner teams — translating creative vision into executable plans and keeping all stakeholders aligned.
• Platform & Format Fluency – A deep, current understanding of what works on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and beyond — and the editorial instinct to shape raw interview footage into clips that actually stop the scroll.

This person will report to the Head of Creative and work closely with other cross-functional Directors, such as Marketing, Partnerships, and Product.

HOW YOU’LL CONTRIBUTE:

Hosting & Interviews

• Serve as the primary on-camera host and interviewer for Project Healthy Minds' social video series across platforms
• Research guests, develop interview questions, and brief subjects ahead of shoots — arriving prepared to draw out authentic, compelling moments
• Bring warmth, credibility, and adaptability to every conversation, representing the Project Healthy Minds brand with care and intentionality
• Help shape and evolve the on-camera format over time based on audience response and platform trends

Production & Video Editing

• Be a key partner in the entire production workflow — from brief and scheduling through guest coordination, shoot logistics, and post-production handoff
• Collaborate with your fellow social team members to develop new series concepts, with a focus on formats that are repeatable, scalable, and platform-native
• Own the post-interview video editing process including clip selection, pacing, and captioning— ensuring every piece of content lands the way it was envisioned
• Write social captions to accompany published content across platforms

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Comms

• Work closely with internal and external partners to align content series with organizational priorities and campaigns
• Support managing relationships with talent and any external stakeholders — handling communications, prep materials, and day-of logistics with professionalism and warmth
• Maintain production schedules and internal documentation to keep all stakeholders informed and on track for owned series

Strategy & Performance

• Monitor analytics across published series to identify what's resonating and inform future content decisions
• Stay current on platform trends, interview formats, and audience behavior to keep Project Healthy Minds' content feeling fresh and culturally relevant
• Contribute to post-production recaps, performance reports, and creative retrospectives

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE:

• A natural host – You have real on-camera experience and the instincts that come with it. You know how to hold a conversation, follow a thread, and make a guest feel at ease — all while staying aware of time, tone, and format. You don't freeze under pressure; you sharpen.
• A sharp editor – You quickly turn around raw interviews into strong, structured content that lands — fast, on-brand, and expertly executed.
• A producer at heart – You think in workflows. You know what needs to happen before the shoot, during the shoot, and after — and you take ownership of all of it. Guests are briefed, you have a vision for the editing even during the interview, and stakeholders are never left wondering where things stand.
• A strong collaborator – You thrive in cross-functional environments and know how to work across teams without losing momentum. You communicate clearly, flag issues early, and make the people around you better at their jobs.
• Platform-savvy – You genuinely live on social media and understand what makes content perform. You know the difference between a clip that looks good and one that actually connects — and you can articulate why.
• Mission-aligned – You care about mental health. You understand the responsibility that comes with producing content in this space and bring the thoughtfulness that requires.

REQUIREMENTS:

• NYC-based and working frequently and collaboratively with our full-time, in-office staff
• 3–5 years of experience in social media, digital content production, or media, with demonstrable on-camera hosting or interview experience
• A portfolio or reel that shows the full scope of Production, from interviewing/hosting work to editing your own videos
• A natural at editing your own videos, and how to capture an audience
• Strong understanding of short-form video platforms and what drives performance
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to manage multiple series and stakeholders simultaneously
• Experience working cross-functionally in a fast-paced, creative environment
