Role:
SoFi's Content Strategy team is seeking a part-time Content Strategist to support our Podcasts & Video program — specifically our flagship property, The Important Part: Investing with Liz Thomas podcast (TIP). This role sits at the intersection of editorial rigor, production operations, and AI-enabled workflow. You'll be the connective tissue that keeps TIP's content machine moving: ensuring scripts are sharp, production days run smoothly, deliverables hit deadlines, and every asset — from thumbnail to long-form video — clears quality and compliance bars before it goes out the door.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who is equally comfortable in a live recording session and a compliance tracker. You move fast, communicate clearly, and never let details slip.
What You'll Do:
Editorial & Production Support
- Review and edit scripts for clarity, accuracy, and brand voice ahead of recording
- Attend recordings and provide live, real-time feedback during shoots and tapings
- Conduct QA on long-form and short-form video and audio content (V1s and V2s), delivering clear and specific editorial direction with each round
- Write and edit copy for long- and short-form content across formats as needed — from episode descriptions to social pull-quotes
YouTube & Organic Discovery
- Support day-to-day YouTube channel management for TIP, including uploads, metadata, thumbnails, playlists, titles, descriptions, tags, end screens, and related video strategy
- Write and iterate YouTube titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and packaging to improve organic discovery, CTR, retention, and subscriber growth
- Track performance signals across full episodes, clips, and Shorts, identifying patterns and opportunities to improve reach and engagement
- Stay current on YouTube best practices, platform changes, and organic growth strategies for video-first podcasts
Content Calendar & Project Management
- Own and maintain TIP's content calendar, tracking all deliverables across video, audio, written, and visual formats
- Ensure all moving parts — thumbnails, tiles, copy, video cuts, audio files, and written assets — are delivered on time and to spec
- Serve as the operational hub for TIP, flagging risks, resolving blockers, and keeping the broader team aligned on status
AI-Enabled Operations
- Identify and implement AI-assisted tools to accelerate script review, transcription, copy drafting, and asset QA
- Build repeatable AI-augmented workflows that reduce manual lift on production cycles
- Stay current on emerging tools relevant to podcast and video content production
Compliance
- Manage all compliance submissions for TIP content, including tracking requests, routing redlines, following up on approvals, and implementing required changes
- Maintain a clear compliance log so no submission falls through the cracks
Who You Are:
- You have 3–5 years of experience in content production, editorial, or a content operations role — ideally with podcast, video, or multimedia experience
- You are a sharp editor who can give specific, actionable feedback, not just general notes
- You are an organized, proactive project manager who thrives on owning a calendar and holding a team to deadlines
- You are comfortable in live production environments and can communicate feedback diplomatically and clearly in real time
- You are fluent in AI-assisted tools and eager to build smarter workflows
- Experience with financial content or fintech is a plus; comfort translating complex topics for a general audience is required
- You have hands-on experience managing or supporting YouTube channels, ideally for podcasts, video series, media brands, or creator-led content
- You can write sharp, audience-first copy without losing brand voice or compliance discipline
- You hold a Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
