What are we looking for?
The Discovery Education CEP team seeks a dynamic, hands-on storyteller to serve as Producer/Editor in the creation of high-impact video content to support an array of corporate educational partnerships. This role is a jack of all trades- part producer, part director, part sound/camera person and part editor. You’ll be part of the team that is in charge of the video experiences our partners see online, on-air, in presentations, events/conferences or other storytelling venues. You’ll work on location, in the studio/office, and as a part of the pre/post-production team (or individually) that edits, prepares and delivers video productions that follow scripts/storyboards or ad hoc/real-world projects of varying lengths and level of production value.
This role requires the ability to translate concepts into evocative and compelling storytelling that’s also on brand through aesthetic acuity and technical knowledge of shooting, lighting, sound (including equipment) and editing in a Mac environment.
The selected candidate for this role will be creative, energetic and a self-starter that is inspired by the opportunity to create customer stories, merchandising tools, internal company announcement videos, external promotional social videos, product marketing videos, corporate training and other enterprise-wide projects. Our corporate partner programs are diverse, so the ability to think and execute across disciplines and subject areas is key – every day is a different adventure.
