We’re Hiring: Journalist (Social Storytelling Specialist) – Caters Media Group
Are you obsessed with the kind of stories young women can’t stop watching, sharing, and talking about? Caters Media Group is looking for a talented and passionate journalist to join our team—someone who gets what matters to women aged 18–23 and can turn trending moments into unforgettable content.
In this role, you’ll hunt down the most compelling real-life stories from across social media, conduct powerful interviews, and shape raw narratives into polished, emotionally resonant content for our digital audience. Whether it's a viral TikTok moment, a heartwarming personal journey, or an unexpected twist in everyday life—you’ll help us turn it into scroll-stopping storytelling.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Discovering unique and emotional stories online, with a special focus on what connects with young women aged 18–23
* Conducting interviews that go beyond the surface to capture honest, relatable, and inspiring voices
* Writing engaging copy and scripting edits for social-first video content (think Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat Discover)
* Collaborating with video editors and producers to bring stories to life in ways that feel fresh and shareable
* Keeping your finger on the pulse of Gen Z trends, creators, conversations, and moments that matter
We’re Looking For Someone Who:
* Has a journalist’s instinct for a great story and knows how to tell it in a way that resonates with young women
* Writes with clarity, warmth, and voice
* Understands what performs on social media platforms
* Is tuned into Gen Z culture, online trends, and the issues that matter most to women aged 18–23
* Thrives in a fast-paced, creative environment and is always on the lookout for the next big story
If you’re a digital storyteller with a love for real-life narratives and a deep understanding of what Gen Z women care about, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities:
·Spot amazing video content before it goes viral—whether it’s trending on TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, or somewhere unexpected.
·Reach out to creators around the world with confidence, warmth, and a bit of charm—negotiating access to standout stories and viral-worthy videos (you’ll need to flex your schedule to different time zones).
·Work seamlessly with teams across our global offices, making sure everything runs smoothly from discovery to delivery.
·Jump on breaking news stories and trends, sourcing relevant video content remotely and quickly.
·Stay organized by keeping key admin tasks accurate and up to date.
·Hit performance targets with focus and consistency and always be ready to level up.
·Script edits that bring energy and emotion to social videos—creating content that feels made for the 18–23 audience, not just adapted for them.
·Conduct smart, human interviews that dig deeper into contributors’ stories—on video and in writing.
·Write clean, compelling copy that elevates our storytelling and drives engagement.
·Stay sharp on social trends, creator culture, and what’s working (or not) across our own channels—your insights help shape our strategy.
Skills and experience:
* A true multitasker who can juggle stories and deadlines—and loves learning new things along the way.
* A clear, confident communicator—whether you’re writing a killer intro for a story, jumping on a call with a contributor, or updating the team.
* A pro at managing time and priorities—even when things get busy.
* Someone who’s not just hard-working, but genuinely excited about the work. You bring energy, curiosity, and a “let’s make this amazing” mindset to everything you do.
