Edit digital commercial ads for brands and social change organizations
Collaborate with creative directors, copywriters, and strategists to align on content goals, while contributing a strong creative point of view throughout the process.
Source, organize, and manage assets, including scripts, brand guidelines, stock footage, music, and other media
Prep gear or remote recording tools for shoots

Requirements

What you’ll need

3-5 years of experience in video production, ideally at a communications agency.
You don't just cut clips together; you craft stories with an instinctive sense of rhythm, pacing, and shot selection, evoking emotion through precise cuts, music, and seamless transitions.
Proven experience as a "one-person band," managing all stages of production—from coordinating pre-production logistics to filming with professional-grade equipment (Black Magic, Alexa, RED) and iPhones, interviewing and directing subjects on set, as well as editing with Adobe Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects)
A collaborative approach and curious nature. You are open to the ideas and opinions of your teammates and are constantly striving to improve your skill sets and knowledge.
Bonus points if you’ve produced social content in fast-paced, digital news environments like Vice or Vox
This role is expected to travel approximately 40-50% of the time and requires flexibility to work across multiple markets, often on short timelines.
Comfortable operating independently in fast-moving environments with minimal oversight, including traveling solo, conducting interviews, capturing content, producing same-day selects, and delivering first-pass edits under tight deadlines.
Proven ability to conduct interviews and direct non-professional talent, executives, clinicians, and community stakeholders while making subjects feel comfortable on camera.
Strong understanding of social-first storytelling and the ability to identify content opportunities in real time while in the field.
Responsible for organizing footage, creating selects, and delivering polished first-pass edits that can be refined by internal post-production teams when needed.
Comfortable capturing content across a variety of platforms and camera systems, from cinema cameras to mirrorless, mobile, and creator-style setups depending on project needs.
Experience working in high-pressure environments where timelines shift rapidly and content needs can emerge with little advance notice.
