A brief summary
Gravity Media is looking for an Associate Producer, Social, to join our studio team in Menlo Park. We are looking for up-and-coming talent with energy, curiosity, and a genuine passion for creating content that connects with audiences in the social space. This is an opportunity to work within a world-class production environment, gain exposure to high-profile projects, and develop your craft alongside experienced producers and studio team.
The ideal candidate is a scrappy, adaptable content creator who thrives in fast-paced environments, understands social platform conventions, and can deliver high-quality content with minimal crew and equipment.

The AP Social will serve as a key resource for quick-turn, phone-based video content—covering events, supporting stakeholder needs, and producing social-ready assets with speed and creative instinct. This role bridges traditional AP responsibilities with the emerging skillset of social-first content creation, and a strategic investment in how our service supports social-forward production requests.
