The Short Version
FiNC runs a hybrid podcast/livestream called FiNC Tank Live. We need someone to take it seriously as a show. That means promoting it, helping us land guests, sharpening episode ideas, raising the production bar, and editing video on a weekly cadence.
This role is about making the show grow, not just keeping it alive.
About FiNC
We’re upgrading how America chooses its leaders.
Right now, big money and party gatekeepers control who’s “electable” before you ever see a ballot. Good candidates exist everywhere: teachers, veterans, small business owners, community leaders who genuinely want to represent you. But the system is designed to keep them invisible.
FiNC is building the bridge between citizens and the candidates they never get to see. Think of us as a matchmaker for democracy: we learn what citizens care about, we surface candidates who are committed to representing real people, and we give both sides a space to connect directly, without gatekeepers deciding who you get to choose from.
The Digital Politics Hub is live now, with candidate profiles, a Civic Tags system that lets candidates define themselves beyond party labels, citizen priority surveys, and a growing Candidate Discovery directory. We’re piloting in Nevada and building toward a nationwide presence by the November 2026 general election.
What makes this work isn’t just the technology. FiNC’s core focus is the human side: outreach, PR, social media engagement, and building citizen buy-in. We’re not marketing a website. We’re campaigning for a better way to choose leaders. Every candidate with a profile, every movement that plugs in, every journalist who joins the network benefits from that ongoing work. Think of every stakeholder on our system as a client whose visibility we’re actively growing.
And the system is designed so everyone lifts everyone. When a candidate shares their profile, citizens who click through discover other candidates too. When a movement drives people to the DP Hub, those citizens find candidates aligned with their values. A rising tide that lifts all boats.
Our structure matters: FiNC is building something akin to a cooperative-style nonprofit where team members aren’t just employees; they’re partners and co-architects in a mission to rebuild how American democracy works.
If you’re ready to help build the civic infrastructure America never got, and to build with citizens, not gatekeepers, we invite you to step in.
IMPORTANT: This involves DELAYED COMPENSATION – Please read carefully
To maintain our independence and avoid conflicts of interest, we are not accepting investors or financing that comes with strings attached. Instead, we are Crowd-Starting FiNC—building it together from the ground up.
We’re asking team members to contribute 15-20 hours per week during this phase, with all time tracked and paid retroactively once we become fully operational.
This model only works if you see it as a short-term investment for long-term rewards. Everyone who joins is a partner, receiving an ownership stake in FiNC. Our structure is similar to a Nonprofit Cooperative, moving beyond the traditional “employee vs employer” dynamic into something more collaborative and forward-thinking.
This model filters for people who believe in the mission deeply enough to build alongside us. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay.
Culture and Employment
A New Kind of Organization for a New Kind of Democracy
- Neurodiversity and diversity-of-thought are strengths, not obstacles
- Servant leadership, dynamic team structures, and shared ownership
- Purpose over profits, value over hours, and respect for work-life balance
- We reward authenticity, passion, and commitment—not conformity
- We support individual weaknesses to enhance collective strengths
- Continuous role assessments, long-term growth opportunities, and real career sustainability
From your first 2-way interview, you will see (and feel) how radically different we are.
What You’d Actually Be Doing
Promoting the show
FiNC Tank Live needs to be findable, shareable, and clippable. You’d own the promotion strategy across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Cut clips for social, write hooks that actually get clicked, schedule posts around episode drops, and pay attention to what’s working.
Helping land guests
We want guests who fit the show: independent media voices, grassroots candidates, reform org leaders, journalists, podcasters, and political commentators who care about a fairer system. You’d help research them, build the outreach list, draft the invites, and follow up.
This will be a secondary focus—we understand that this can be time consuming. You will have some help with this task from our Outreach Team.
Sharpening episode ideas
Travis has plenty of ideas. What we need is a partner who can shape them into episodes that hook a real audience. That means thinking about what’s timely, what’s clippable, what would bring a guest’s audience along, and what fits FiNC’s voice without being preachy.
Raising the appearance of the show
Production quality, on-screen graphics, episode art, thumbnails, and overall visual presence. You don’t have to be a designer (we have a few), but you’d be the one driving how the show looks and feels as it scales.
Editing video weekly
At minimum, one full episode edited per week, plus social cutdowns. We’re not looking for film-school polish; we’re looking for clean, consistent, on-time editing that respects how people actually watch in 2026.
Who Thrives Here
- You’ve grown a podcast or YouTube channel before, even a small one, and you know what actually moves the needle vs. what just feels like work.
- You’re comfortable with video editing software (DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, CapCut, Final Cut, whatever) and can turn around a clean cut without being chased.
- You have instincts for clips, hooks, and thumbnails. You scroll social media and notice why something stopped you.
- You’re a self-starter who can run a weekly production cycle without someone managing every step.
- You care about democracy reform, citizen empowerment, and/or independent media. The mission has to mean something to you, because the pay is delayed.
Who Struggles Here
- You’re great at editing but allergic to outreach, social posting, or strategy work. This role is all four.
- You need full-time hours, fixed pay, and a corporate setup immediately. We’re not there yet.
- You can only commit a couple hours here and there. We need 15-20 hours per week, consistently. If you can’t deliver on that, this isn’t the right fit and we need to know up front.
- You see this as a stepping stone to something else and won’t put real energy into the show. We’ve been there. We’re not doing it again.
