About the Role
We are looking for a creative and resourceful Videographer/Video Editor who can take detailed direction, as well as loose concepts, and turn them into sleek, cool, and captivating videos. The ability to conceive and quickly produce content is a MUST for this job.

The Videographer/Video Editor will be required to communicate incredibly well with the Manager of Creative Video. This ensures videos are completed efficiently and give the right message to our audiences.

Revisions are to be expected, and the ideal candidate will be highly organized, energetic, and undyingly positive in the face of large workloads and sometimes minimal direction. The key to this job is to be well‑versed in project management software, reply quickly, take notes, creatively execute, and be explorative.

Your experience should be broad and diverse, and you should feel as if no project is too scary or large. You always have a hunger and willingness to learn and try new things. You should be comfortable creating editorial video posts relating to many different topics and brands for our online media.

The Videographer/Video Editor works on all functions of the in‑house Creative Video department including creative concepts, traffic, and production. Must review projects and foresee any impending issues before they become crises.
