Job Summary The University Utah Marketing & Communications is looking for a full-time, seasoned videographer/editor to fill an open position on our video team. We are looking for someone with high-production standards and tastes who can shoot beautiful footage and then turn that into a well-crafted edit and final videos. You must be adept with on-set lighting, sound and the technical aspects of running a camera. We are also looking for someone who can take direction, be collaborative, and who enjoys working hard.

The University has many stories to tell and we produce many videos a year. This requires us to sometimes work odd hours at times, weekends and put in the extra effort to create great work. We are proud of the videos we create and need a person who will contribute to our ongoing success and even elevate it.

In additional to the skillsets mentioned, being a drone pilot would be a plus, knowing your way around After Effects and motion graphics is also helpful. We are looking for someone with at least 5-years’ experience, a bachelor’s degree, and a get-along, can-do personality. The University of Utah provides an outstanding benefits package, excellent health care, and a good work/life balance. If you are interested you will need to submit your resume, letter and you absolutely must submit links to your video work.

Responsibilities Job Expectations:

Setup and run video cameras, lighting and sound equipment on shoots.

Edit videos using Adobe Premiere. Must be able to color grade and use Adobe After Effects and mix sound.

Must be able to edit videos in a timely manner, take feedback and provide updated versions.

Must handle the University’s film equipment with care and safety.

Keep film equipment organized and clean at UMC House.

Follow directions of your supervisors and director.

Work in a collaborative way with a positive attitude.

Must be available to work occasionally on weekends and evenings including some travel.

Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in a related area or equivalency (one year of education can be substituted for two years of related work experience). Four to six years of progressively more responsible management experience.

Background knowledge of hiring department’s area of specialization in order to analyze, plan and draw conclusions for recommendations to superiors.

Demonstrated leadership skills in planning and directing employees and processes in order to effectively monitor and develop subordinates and to ensure the smooth operation of department. Master’s degree in a related area may be preferred.

Preferences Applicants must demonstrate the potential ability to perform the essential functions of the job as outlined in the position description.

We are looking for someone with at least 5-years experience in both on-set filming and editing. We also want someone with an upbeat and can-do attitude.
