  • Research, plan, storyboard, script, and produce multimedia videos that communicate key messages to various audiences.
  • Create social-media-optimized content, including influencer-style videos, sizzle reels, and platform-specific creative assets.
  • Support all aspects of video production, from concept development to final delivery.
  • Apply creative storytelling techniques and appropriate production values based on the medium, audience, and budget.
  • Ensure all multimedia products comply with accessibility standards, including captioning and audio description.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines for quick-turn production-ready assets.
  • Manage and maintain required documentation, including consent forms, image releases, and licensing information.
  • Ensure proper licensing and attribution for all third-party assets.
  • Provide team assistance for livestreaming of press events as needed.
  • Catalog, organize, and store multimedia and graphic assets in a searchable format.
  • Collaborate effectively with multi-disciplinary teams to support integrated communication campaigns.

Required Qualifications

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Design, Visual Communications, Graphic Design, Journalism, or a related field.
  • 3–5 years of professional experience in photography, multimedia production, video, visual communications support, or graphic design.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard creative tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom, Media Encoder).
  • Demonstrated experience creating high-quality visual and multimedia content for digital and social media platforms.
  • Experience capturing and producing professional-quality photography, video, and audio content.
  • Strong visual storytelling, composition, and design skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Willingness and ability to travel on short notice, including occasional overnight travel.
  • Ability to successfully obtain a government-issued Public Trust clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with accessibility standards (e.g., Section 508) as applied to multimedia and digital content.
  • Experience managing digital asset libraries and content cataloging systems.
  • Experience with livestreaming platforms, podcast production, or advanced motion graphics.
