Content developer Jobs in Glendale, CA

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:
