About the Role
Betches Media is seeking a Freelance Production Associate to support production on "How Online Are You" and other long-form interview series on the Betches YouTube channel. This role is perfect for someone deeply tapped into the cultural conversation, knowing what's trending, why it's trending, and why it's funny. You will work closely with the production team to develop episode scripts, questions, and interview talking points, and support production when cameras are rolling.
Responsibilities
- Research and compile weekly trending topics, viral moments, memes, and internet discourse across TikTok, Instagram, X, and beyond.
- Deliver comprehensive guest briefs to the Senior Producer for each episode, covering the celebrity's background, recent projects, press narrative, online presence, and any relevant cultural moments.
- Research each guest's promotional project in depth — film, TV, album, or otherwise — so the team is fully prepared to speak to their work in context.
- Tailor research to each episode's guests — identifying their viral moments, online footprint, and cultural relevance to inform personalized questions.
- Coordinate with talent and PR teams to confirm approved talking points, off-limit topics, and project embargoes ahead of production.
- Source and clear images, clips, and media assets to be used in each episode.
- Fact-check all quiz and script content rigorously to ensure accuracy and cultural context before it goes on camera.
- Stay ahead of the news cycle and flag relevant stories with enough lead time for production.
- Collaborate with producers and editors to refine scripts and punch up questions.
- Occasionally assist the Senior Producer on set during in-studio shoots, junket shoots, and virtual production sessions as needed.
- Maintain a working knowledge of Betches' voice, tone, and audience.
Requirements
- Strong research and writing skills with the ability to adapt to the Betches voice.
- Experience on set or in a production environment is a must.
- Genuinely, almost concerningly online — you are the first person in your group chat to send a meme.
- A clear sense of what's funny, what's culturally relevant, and what will land on camera.
- Comfortable working quickly and independently in a fast-moving production environment.
- Familiarity with Betches Media and a genuine understanding of the brand's audience and tone.
- NYC-based with availability for in-person production days, tapings, and junkets.
