About the Role

The Athletic is looking for a creative, platform-native Social Producer to own and expand the digital footprint of Talk of the Devils, our flagship, chart-topping Manchester United video podcast. You aren't just scheduling posts; you are a social-first visual storyteller, video editor, and community strategist who knows how to capture the attention of millions of United fans worldwide .

Reporting to the Executive Producer and embedded directly with the show's talent and production crew in Manchester, you will turn every recording session into a 24-hour multi-platform content engine. You are equally comfortable filming high-energy vertical video bits in the studio, cutting thumb-stopping match-reaction clips under breaking news pressure, or driving the live conversation and moderating the chat during our streams. If you live on social media, have sharp video editing instincts, and breathe Manchester United culture, this is your dream job.
