Free Agency is on a mission to empower people to reach the highest levels of their career potential. We work with talent to break the information and process asymmetries holding them back from doing more, making more, and being more. We’ve raised over $15M from world-class investors like Maveron, Resolute Ventures, Bloomberg Beta, Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman’s Thirty Five Ventures, Palm Tree Crew, and more.
Free Agency brings Hollywood-style career management to knowledge workers, starting with the tech industry. We provide concierge services and digital products to help people find incredible jobs, make more money, and become high-performing leaders.
Unlike solutions in recruiting, we’re entirely paid by the talent we work with, which enables us to provide them with dedicated Talent Agents that manage “the business end” of their career. Talent success becomes our success.
To date, we’ve helped hundreds of professionals negotiate over $200 million in offers, and work with talent building the cutting-edge future in the startup and tech industry.
About the job:
We’re looking for a social media intern to work closely with the CEO of Free Agency on content initiatives, with a more intentional focus on TikTok. You’ll work across the production lifecycle, helping ideate, schedule, film, edit, and deploy content on an aggressive timeline.
You should already be somewhat nerdy about video and audio equipment, as we work with high-end and sensitive equipment (including 4k cinema cameras, DSLRs, wireless mic packs). You should also be somewhat comfortable with video editing in Adobe Premiere.
Throughout this internship, you’ll build an even more expert understanding of how to use this equipment as you help produce extremely high quality content. You should have an eye for what works on TikTok, including video framing, cadence, sound trends, etc.
You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with the founder & CEO of the business, learning about all things tech and startups along the way.
This is a paid, in-person internship in Manhattan for 20 to 30 hours a week. If you have the availability to work on the weekends, some portion of the work can happen on Sundays.
You will:
- Help ideate and produce social media content with a specific focus on short-form vertical video (primarily for TikTok).
- Handle all sound, video, and audio setup for multiple shoots daily, gaining an in-depth knowledge of video, audio, and lighting equipment.
- Manage content in post-production, including editing, video and audio correction, clipping, content repurposing, and delivery.
Why Free Agency matters
Job search and career progression are broken. Candidates haphazardly apply to jobs, meet only a few companies, settle during offer negotiation, and generally don’t optimize the process of moving along in their careers. As a result, Free Agency believes that everyone is undercompensated.
That doesn’t just have to do with the money we make, but also the teams we’re a part of, the type of work we get to do, and the alignment to mission along the way. All of this has an impact on our own satisfaction, health, and financial wellness, but we don’t give it the attention it deserves.
By aligning incentives with individual talent, Free Agency is enabled to build first-of-their-kind products & services and define a new category of career management.
