Junior Media Producer | Media

Veritas Media · Ferndale, WA, USA ·

Pay:
$20-$25/hr
Job type:
Freelance

The Junior Media Producer is a foundational role within the WholeHome™ Media team and provides hands-on execution of video editing and production support across a variety of projects. This is an entry-level seat for someone with strong foundational video skills and a proven track record making social video that performs.

This position supports the full production process: assisting in pre-production prep, serving as crew on shoots, and owning a high volume of post-production and delivery work. The Junior Media Producer works directly under the Media Producer, alongside editorial staff and contractors, to ensure each project is delivered within the creative and technical scope defined for it.

Outside of editing and production responsibilities, the Junior Media Producer must have a knack for troubleshooting technology and video systems, understand disciplined video data management, and be able to work under pressure and tight deadlines, often in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

This position requires significant travel and time away from the office.
