THE ROLE
You’ll be our go-to video guru — creating scroll-stopping content that turns heads, tugs at hearts, and inspires action. Working alongside our Video Production and Social Media Team, you’ll help us reach millions across social media audiences (eg. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and more) while also contributing to video content for other platforms and audiences, like email and supporter engagement materials as needed. You will:
- Craft compelling video content that reflects our theory of change and approach, maintains our brand voice, and helps us achieve our Vision and strategic outcomes. Think news-style social media edits, campaign videos, investigation exposés, media compilations, and the occasional plant-based foodie edits.
- Work with raw footage (sometimes confronting, sometimes low grade) to produce public-facing videos that are sensitive to the source material and resonate with a variety of audiences.
- Produce animated text and motion graphics to enhance video projects and effectively communicate key messages.
- Maintain top-notch technical quality across all video output.
- Collaborate with internal teams to align video narratives with key messaging and strategic goals.
- Manage personal editing workflow and project timelines to ensure delivery on schedule.
Please refer to the position description on our Careers website for a full outline of the role.
