• Maintain asset organization: naming, backup, archiving of raw and edited materials.

• Prior experience working on set (TV, film, commercial, etc.), especially capturing BTS or talent content.
• Strong portfolio / samples showing BTS, talent capture, set content you ideated, shot, and edited.
• Proficiency in video editing tools, at least one platform like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar; also comfortable with mobile editing/app tools.
• Comfortable shooting with mobile and/or pro cameras; understanding of lighting, audio for content capture in live/set conditions.

• Ability to work in fast-paced, changing environments; be adaptable when schedules or priorities shift on set.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills — you’ll be collaborating with crew, talent, producers.
• In-depth knowledge of social, culture, and entertainment content trends. Ability to translate trends into creative concepts tailored to title subject matter

Preferred Qualifications
