Job description
We're looking for a hands-on, social-native Social Content Director to lead recurring social shoots for a fast food restaurant chain. This isn't a traditional producer role, it's built for someone who thrives on set, knows how to make food look irresistible on camera, and can pull strong performances out of talent while capturing raw, creator-style content that feels native to social.
You'll be the person on set making sure every shoot produces footage that's authentic, appetizing, and ready to perform. Final editing is handled by another team member, so your focus is entirely on production and capture - not post.
What You Bring
Experience directing or producing social-first video content, ideally with food, culinary, or lifestyle brands
A sharp eye for what makes food and drink look good on camera - lighting, styling, angles, movement
Comfort directing talent (professional and non-professional) and coaching stronger, more natural performances in real time
Strong instincts for what makes content feel native to social rather than produced or overly polished
Hands-on production experience: you can manage a small shoot from setup through wrap without a large crew
Familiarity with creator-style and UGC content conventions across platforms like Instagram and TikTok
Comfort working independently on a fast, recurring shoot cadence
Based in Los Angeles and available for regular in-person shoots throughout the area
Strong communication and organizational skills - you keep shoots on schedule and footage organized for handoff
What You'll Do
Lead 3-5 recurring social content shoots per month for a restaurant/culinary client
Direct talent on set, shaping performance and identifying the strongest moments in the moment
Guide food and product styling and presentation to ensure everything looks its best on camera
Capture raw, creator-style footage designed to feel authentic and native to social
Make real-time creative calls on framing, pacing, and shot selection during the shoot
Organize and hand off raw footage cleanly to the editing team for post-production
Partner with the internal team to align on concepts, shot lists, and goals ahead of each shoot
Bring a proactive, flexible approach to a fast-moving account with frequent turnaround
What Success Looks Like
Talent feels directed and comfortable, even when they're not professional performers
Food and drink consistently look their best on camera, shoot after shoot
Raw footage is strong enough that editing is straightforward, with minimal usable-content gaps
You adapt quickly to a recurring, high-frequency shoot schedule without sacrificing quality
Footage is well-organized and easy for the editing team to pick up
Requirements
Demonstrated experience producing and/or directing social video content, food/culinary experience strongly preferred
Based in Los Angeles, with reliable availability for in-person shoots
Comfortable working as a freelancer on a recurring monthly cadence (approximately 40-50 hours/month across 3-5 shoots)
Portfolio or reel showcasing relevant social/food content work
This is a freelance/contract position; rate and scope will be discussed during the interview process.
