Content Producer & Editor

Content Producer & Editor

Join 1504 as we build an in-house communications team at the intersection of global humanitarian aid and purpose-driven brands. This role is for a visual storyteller who is highly collaborative and can keep a content engine moving with consistency and care.

Role

Concepting

Generate ideas for visual storytelling that drive engagement and maintain narrative integrity

Documenting

Chronicle the ongoing life of the brands: the moments, people, and places that carry story

Editing

Shape raw material into publish-ready assets that work across channels, platforms, and audiences

Responsibilities

• Capture video for ongoing needs across multiple brands
• Edit short-form video, with cutdowns and platform-specific versions
• Add motion graphics, captions, and formatting in post-production
• Repurpose content: turn one shoot into a series of usable assets
• Maintain a content library: transcripts, selects, and versions 
• Integrate work from specialists (photojournalists, animators, directors)
• Collaborate with designers to package assets for publishing
• Support communications strategy for internal and external audiences

Focus Areas

Projects may involve:

• Ongoing storytelling for mission-driven organizations focused on humanitarian nutrition (events, factory life, people, partners, internal culture)
• Consumer brand content supporting launch and growth (product stories, social cuts, community moments)
• Early-stage brand development for an emerging global health company
• Internal culture and employee experience touchpoints
• Occasional studio projects for 1504's brand and select clients

Qualifications

• 2 years of professional experience in video production and editing (agency, in-house, freelance, or documentary)
• Strong editorial instincts and ability to produce independently in the field
• Solid post-production skills (editing, sound and color basics)
• Comfortable shooting on a small, mobile kit (camera audio fundamentals)
• Organized asset management instincts
• Still photography experience is a plus but not required

Approach

• Full-time, based in Birmingham, Alabama (in-person)
• Starting at $50,000/year plus benefits, commensurate with experience
• 40 hours/week
• Access to 1504 workspace and professional development opportunities
• Open to travel as projects require

Experience

We value interdisciplinary experience. You might have worked adjacent to journalism, documentary, social impact, marketing, or strategy. It’s all magic. 

Thank You

We appreciate your interest. This role is difficult to reduce to a checklist, but if asked to describe the person we're looking for, it’s someone with:

• A love for storytelling that brings people together 
• The idealism to believe that collective action can spark change 
• The ambition to push beyond technical craft into leadership 
• The analytical sensibility to balance both creative and strategic objectives 
• The humility to do high-quality work in service of something bigger than ourselves 

To explore, please send resumé and portfolio to mollie@1504.co by April 1. Not sure you’re the right fit for this role but open to future collaborations? We’d still love to hear from you.
