• Ensure consistency in branding, messaging, tone, and visual style across all video content.
• Add graphics, subtitles, simple motion design, and basic animations to improve clarity and engagement.
• Perform basic color correction and audio cleanup, including music, sound effects, and voice balancing, while following licensing and brand guidelines.
• Optimize video files, thumbnails, titles, and metadata for SEO and discoverability.
• Stay up to date on industry trends, creator best practices, and competitor content, and suggest new formats or creative tests.
• Organize and maintain video assets, project files, and exports for efficient collaboration and reuse.
• Incorporate feedback from stakeholders and partner teams while maintaining quality and timelines.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously, communicating clearly about progress and risks.
• Partner with internal and external videographers or agencies when needed, providing clear briefs and edit requirements.
• Work regular hours that substantially overlap with 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Pacific Time and attend scheduled meetings.
• Support other video and content-related tasks as needed.
