Arizona PBS is seeking a highly creative, technically skilled, and collaborative Senior Videographer/Editor to help produce compelling visual stories that inform, educate, and inspire audiences across broadcast, digital, streaming, and social media platforms.
The ideal candidate is an accomplished visual storyteller who thrives in every phase of production—from concept development and field production to post-production and final delivery. This individual will work independently and alongside producers, reporters, editors, production staff, and leadership to create high-quality content ranging from short-form digital videos to long-form documentaries, public affairs programming, promotional campaigns, and live productions.

They are equally comfortable leading productions in the field, operating cameras in the studio, editing complex projects, and mentoring emerging production talent.
This position requires a flexible schedule, including occasional evenings, weekends, and travel throughout Arizona and beyond as production needs require.
