- Develop video concepts and craft narratives that align with project goals.
- Create mood boards and storyboards to convey thematic direction and story arcs.
- Conduct interviews and direct real people on set to capture authentic stories.
- Provide art direction during shoots, ensuring camera angles and compositions reflect the creative vision.
- Oversee editing, including cuts, transitions, pacing, color, and sound for high-quality output.
- Collaborate with designers, motion graphics editors, producers, and other creative professionals.
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously, meeting deadlines and budget requirements.
- Travel as needed for on-location shoots.
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
- Minimum 4 years of professional creative experience in a corporate or agency setting.
- Proven expertise in video production processes, including shoot direction, lighting, sound, and editing.
- Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong interviewing and on-set directing skills.

- Portfolio demonstrating human-driven, journalistic storytelling.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional creative teams.
