The Role NPR is seeking a creative and highly organized Senior Video Editor to guide the visual evolution of It’s Been a Minute and Code Switch. This role is for a storyteller who understands the nuance of cultural conversations and knows how to translate deep, audio-first reporting into compelling video for YouTube, Spotify, and social platforms.
