Head of Seen Palestine

Location:Johannesburg
Remote work:Only remote work
Company:Seen.tv


Job description

Seen TV is seeking a dynamic and experienced Head of Seen Palestine to lead our editorial efforts in the region. As a company, we have unapologetically taken a clear position on the Palestine, recognising Israel’s actions as apartheid, in line with the ICC and major global human rights organisations. Apartheid is illegal under international law, and like movements such as #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo, we are taking a stand. Unlike many other media organisations, we do not claim neutrality on this subject. However, we are committed to maintaining objective, fair, and balanced storytelling, and are looking for someone who can navigate this complex landscape with integrity.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in creating viral video content across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and other social media platforms, reaching millions of viewers. In addition to short-form, high-impact content, the role also demands the ability to produce long-form documentaries and podcasts. We are looking for someone who can successfully stretch across this wide range of formats and storytelling styles, combining the immediacy of viral video with the depth of long-form investigative content.

Additionally, this role requires experience in managing and growing partnerships with patrons and NGOs. Seen Palestine operates under a patronage model, supported by citizens who sponsor our work, as well as partnerships with NGOs. The Head of Seen Palestine will need to manage these relationships effectively, ensuring the continued support of our mission through strong communication and collaboration with both our patrons and organizational partners.

Responsibilities
  • Lead the editorial direction of Seen Palestine, managing a team of local creators and storytellers.
  • Curate, review, and verify all content to ensure it aligns with Seen’s mission and editorial standards.
  • Oversee the production of rapid-fire news, explainers, and serialized documentaries.
  • Collaborate with the global Seen team to scale content internationally while maintaining authenticity.
  • Foster relationships with Palestinian creators, journalists, patrons, NGOs, and partners to grow the platform's reach.
  • Ensure the stories created represent a diverse and authentic portrayal of life on the ground, while maintaining hope and aspiration in storytelling.
  • Stay informed on regional developments, maintaining a sensitive and ethical approach to all content.
Required
  • Five+ years of experience in editorial, journalism, or media content creation.
  • Strong understanding of the Palestinian context and issues facing the region.
  • Proven leadership skills with experience managing teams and content production.
  • Extensive experience with viral video content creation across social platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, reaching wide audiences.
  • Ability to produce long-form content, including documentaries and podcasts.
  • Excellent editorial judgment and a commitment to factual accuracy and responsible storytelling.
  • Experience managing relationships with patrons, NGOs, and partners.
  • Fluency in English is required; fluency in Arabic is a plus.
  • Familiarity with user-generated content (UGC) and grassroots journalism is a plus.
