Social Media & Video Community Editor

The Role

Depop is looking for a Social Media + Video Community Editor to join our Social & Influencer Marketing team and help shape how Depop shows up across social in the US.

This is a highly creative, hands-on role for someone who thinks like a creator, understands the internet, and knows what makes content feel native to each platform. You’ll act as an in-house social content creator and editor, developing, shooting, editing, and publishing short-form content across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and emerging platforms.

You’ll also play an important role in how Depop participates in culture and engages with our community - spotting conversations, trends, creators, sellers, and moments where the brand can authentically show up.

The right person is deeply plugged into fashion, youth culture, creators, and the constantly evolving social landscape. You’re equally comfortable developing a repeatable content series, filming and editing a TikTok, jumping on a trend within hours, or finding the perfect comment for a cultural moment.

What You’ll Do

Create Social-First Content:

Develop, shoot, edit, and publish short-form video content for Depop across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other emerging platforms.

Act as an in-house content creator for the social team, taking ideas from concept through execution.

Create fast-turn, culturally relevant content around fashion, resale, creators, entertainment, and internet culture.

Develop recurring social franchises and formats that are distinctly Depop and can scale over time.

Translate larger brand and marketing moments into content that feels natural and relevant within social feeds.

Support social capture at events, activations, shoots, and cultural moments when needed.

Experiment with new formats, editing styles, platform features, and storytelling techniques to continuously evolve Depop’s social presence.

Help Shape Our Short-Form Video Strategy:

Partner with the Head of Social & Influencer Marketing to evolve Depop’s US TikTok and short-form video strategy.

Stay deeply immersed in platform behavior, emerging creators, trends, memes, sounds, formats, and cultural conversations.

Identify opportunities for Depop to participate in trends and conversations quickly and authentically.

Use performance insights to understand what is resonating and apply those learnings to future content.

Help identify opportunities to grow reach, engagement, followers, and conversation through organic social.

Build Community:

Help Depop become an active participant in social culture rather than simply publishing into it.

Lead proactive community engagement across priority social channels, including outbound commenting and participation in relevant cultural conversations.

Identify and surface great UGC, sellers, creators, listings, conversations, and community stories that can become social content.

Partner with Customer Experience and internal teams to distinguish brand/community engagement from customer service needs.

Help develop community engagement guidelines, guardrails, and best practices that allow Depop to participate in conversations quickly while maintaining a consistent brand voice.

Surface recurring community conversations, sentiment, and cultural insights back to the wider Social and Marketing teams.

What We’re Looking For:

Experience creating social-first content for a brand, publisher, agency, creator, or your own channels.

Strong short-form video skills, with the ability to concept, shoot, and edit content independently.

A portfolio or examples demonstrating a strong understanding of TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and social-native storytelling.

Excellent instincts for what makes content entertaining, relevant, shareable, and culturally resonant.

Deep knowledge of social platforms and how audiences behave differently across them.

A strong understanding of US youth culture, fashion, creators, entertainment, and internet culture.

Strong copywriting skills and the ability to adapt tone and voice to different platforms and moments.

Comfortable working quickly and responding to trends and opportunities in real time.

Able to balance planned editorial content with reactive and opportunistic storytelling.

Collaborative and comfortable working across Social, Influencer, Creative, Brand, PR, Customer Experience, and other teams.

Curious, proactive, resourceful, and excited to experiment.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, you’ll help Depop build a faster, more distinctive, and more culturally relevant social presence. Success will look like:

A consistent pipeline of high-quality, social-native video produced in-house.

Stronger organic video performance, engagement, and audience growth across priority platforms.

The development of 2–3 recognizable, repeatable social franchises that audiences begin to associate with Depop.

Faster participation in relevant trends and cultural conversations — moving in hours rather than days.

A clear and scalable approach to proactive community engagement.

Stronger conversation, sentiment, and connection between Depop and its community.

More sellers, creators, community stories, and cultural insights being surfaced through Depop’s social channels.
