[Hiring] Social Content Producer @Aru Labs

Role Description

We’re looking for a BTS / Social Content Producer to document the making of an independent web series and turn the production process into engaging digital content. The goal is not to create a traditional corporate behind-the-scenes video. We want to capture the people, process, chaos, creative decisions, and real moments behind the production.

The Project

• Independent web series exploring:
• Startups
• Ambition
• Relationships
• Friendship
• Money
• Identity
• Success and failure
• Life outside work
• Shot across a mix of Indian and international creative/startup locations.

What You’ll Do

• Capture the production journey through:
• Behind-the-scenes photography
• Vertical video
• Short-form videos
• Interviews with cast and crew
• Director / DOP moments
• Location stories
• Rehearsals
• Set preparation
• Production-day moments
• Travel content
• Character introductions
• Production diaries
• Short social clips
• Launch content
• Episode-related promotional content
• Help develop recurring content formats around the making of the series.

Content We’re Looking For

• Content that feels:
• Real
• Personal
• Cinematic
• Unfiltered
• Examples include:
• “Day 1 of shooting”
• How a scene was created
• Meet the cast

• Location scouting
• What happens before a scene

• DOP setup
• Rehearsal moments
• Unexpected production moments
• City-specific content
• Travel between locations
• Short cast interviews
• First reactions after difficult scenes
• Production challenges
• Lessons from making the series
• Content should feel native to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and other relevant platforms.

Responsibilities

• Capture BTS photos and video
• Plan daily content capture
• Identify interesting moments on set
• Conduct quick interviews
• Shoot vertical content
• Organize footage
• Deliver daily selects when required
• Create or coordinate short-form edits
• Maintain a BTS content archive
• Work with the Director and production team
• Coordinate with the broader marketing/content team
• Help develop the launch content calendar
• Understand when to stay out of the way of production.

Creative Direction

This should not look like a generic film production recap. Think:

• Independent cinema
• Startup culture
• Creator culture
• Young founders
• Travel
• Cities
• Relationships
• Real people
• Creative process

We want audiences to feel like they are inside the making of the series.

• Experience shooting social content
• Good understanding of Instagram / TikTok / YouTube Shorts
• Ability to shoot high-quality mobile or camera footage
• Strong sense of composition
• Good interviewing skills
• Fast turnaround ability
• Comfortable working around a film set
• Ability to work independently
• Experience with editing is a strong plus.
• A background in filmmaking, photography, journalism, creator content, or social media is welcome.

Equipment

• We're open to:
• Camera operators
• Mobile filmmakers
• Photographers
• Creators
• Filmmakers
• Documentary-style storytellers
