Job Summary and Responsibilities

{{firstname}} is seeking an innovative content editor/manager with a passion for content creation and for helping nonprofits. The Program Associate, Video role requires a robust understanding of all phases of short-form video production, including light motion graphics work, and a heavy emphasis on editing. The {{firstname}} Program Associate, Video will report to a Senior Program Manager while working directly with all Program Managers and Program Associates to deliver, manage, and enhance our clients’ authentic fundraising video content. Much of this content is created by students, and the VA will work closely with those students to ensure quality, punctuality, and to communicate revision notes to the students. Occasional training to elevate the skills of those students will periodically be delivered, and the Program Associate, Video will be a key player in those trainings.

We are firstly looking for someone who can edit raw footage to exact script specs on tight deadlines, and secondly a candidate who is passionate about distilling and communicating edit notes to our student content creators. We are also looking for a candidate who can “see the pieces” clearly enough to anticipate and contribute other narrative options for existing content, and envision places where dynamic b-roll and graphics can be added. Being able to generate intermediate-level graphics content like animated pop-ups and lower thirds would elevate a candidate for this role. Having some experience or awareness of the various roles in traditional film production would also serve this candidate well.
