• Understand how hooks, pacing, duration, aspect ratio, and narrative structure should change across audiences and platforms.
• Support digital advertising initiatives by creating campaign assets and iterative creative variations.
• Use audience response, campaign findings, and stakeholder feedback to strengthen future creative decisions without allowing performance metrics alone to define the storytelling.

• Partner with creative directors, designers, copywriters, photographers, producers, marketers, and business stakeholders to bring ideas to life.
• Contribute original concepts, story treatments, visual approaches, interview questions, hooks, and content formats.

• Maintain production equipment and communicate equipment, software, or workflow needs to the Video Manager.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining a high standard of craftsmanship.

• 3+ years of professional experience in video production, editing, or a closely related creative role.
• Demonstrated experience contributing to multiple phases of video production, including planning, filming, editing, and delivery.

• Experience working in studio and on-location production environments.
• Familiarity with direct-response advertising and performance-marketing principles.
• Experience developing platform-specific content variations and creative-testing assets.
