About Meela
The Mission: Ending the Silent Epidemic. For millions of older adults, the digital revolution has created a barrier. As the world moved to screens and apps, a generation was left behind in the silence of social isolation. Meela is here to change that. We believe technology should feel like a conversation.
The Breakthrough: Invisible AI. We are building the world’s first phone-based AI companion designed specifically for the analog generation. We have eliminated apps, logins, and screens. Meela provides a voice on the other end of the line that delivers deep mental engagement, warmth, and a vital link to the world. We are restoring dignity through ambient technology.
The Momentum: Meela is live, generating revenue, and backed by BCV. We are rapidly expanding our footprint to scale this impact globally.
- Deep Engagement: The average conversation with Meela lasts 15 minutes.
- Clinical Results: A medical study confirmed that one month of use leads to statistically significant reductions in anxiety and depression.
- Rapid Scale: We are on track to serve hundreds of communities across the US within the next 6 months.
Join the Team: We are a focused group of engineers and designers who value real-world results. We prioritize clear thinking and work that stands up to the complexity of the healthcare space. We are building the future of aging, one conversation at a time.
The Role
We’re hiring a Videographer & Social Media Manager to own Meela’s video content and social media execution. This role is responsible for translating our work—product development, pilots, and real-world use—into clear content that helps others understand Meela. This is a 1099 contract role to start.
What You'll Do
- Produce one polished, long-form video each month (founder updates, product stories, or on-site footage).
- Create 2 63 short video clips per week derived from that core content.
- Own the full content workflow: planning, filming, editing, and publishing.
- Execute Meela’s existing social media strategy and provide input as it evolves.
- Focus primarily on LinkedIn and Instagram; YouTube Shorts may be added over time.
- Work closely with the founding team to turn product updates, pilots, and on-the-ground moments into clear content.
- Capture content on-site in NYC and occasionally at partner locations.
What We're Looking For
- Strong video production and editing skills, with good judgment around tone and storytelling.
- Experience creating video-first content for social platforms.
- Organized and dependable, with the ability to work against a planned content cadence.
- Comfortable executing a defined strategy while offering thoughtful input.
- Interest in healthcare, aging, or mission-driven work is a plus.
What We Offer
- 30 640 hours per week for the first three months as a 1099 contract role.
- $30 60/hour depending on experience.
- Opportunity to convert into a full-time role as the company grows.
- Close collaboration with leadership and ownership over how Meela shows up publicly.
- A small team working on a problem that matters.
Why Now
The population is aging, and demand for emotional support and mental engagement continues to rise. Meela is scaling alongside real partners and is being used in live environments today. If you’re interested in telling clear stories about a product designed to support people as they age, we’d like to hear from you.
