The ideal candidate should have strong storytelling instincts, impeccable attention to detail, thrive in fast-moving and ambiguous environments, and be enthusiastic about taking projects to the next level through excellent technical proficiency, creative vision, and passion.

They will excel in both big picture vision and storytelling as well as detailed production and execution.

Experience in corporate communications and the ability to apply their creativity within the corporate communications style is a must.

*This position is hybrid and candidates must be local to the Twin Cities.

KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Collaborate with internal video team members, freelancers, designers, editors and clients to create video content from corporate brand videos, internal promotional videos to short social clips.

• Work with a variety of assets (internally and externally produced live action video (from DSLRs to REDs), stock footage, user-generated mobile phone footage, images, and graphics).

• Scout/select locations for interviews and other shoots with considerations for composition, lighting and audio.

• Oversee production planning, schedules and duties for production crew and client.

• Have a general understanding of the business aspect of each project and utilize that information in decision making on hours and expenses against projects.

• Respectfully provide feedback on others’ projects and graciously receive/implement feedback on their own projects.

• Work closely with account directors and strategists to ensure video content is meeting brand and quality standards and fulfilling client needs.

• Stay informed on industry trends and techniques to keep our output fresh and current.

• Work with department leads on new business development and internal marketing projects as needed.

• Great collaboration skills with cross-functional teams (graphic designers, editors/animators, production crew).

• Flexible and nimble — ability to work well under deadlines and throughout changes in project scopes.

• Professional, personable and friendly attitude with clients and team members alike.
