Video Producer / Editor – Social Impact

Description:

Use your powers for good as a Video Producer / Editor at Marketing for Change, a research and creative agency exclusively focused on inspiring positive behaviors. Your work will not be about selling products, but about advancing public health, health care access, environmental protection, a strong democracy, and other social change issues.

As Video Lead, you’ll own video projects as a key member of our creative team – leading work from concept through final delivery. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a small, collaborative creative environment, enjoys sharing ideas, and gets excited about experimenting with new tactics, technologies, and ways of working.

About Video at Marketing for Change

Marketing for Change is dedicated to surprising and delighting audiences – no matter the budget – through everything from traditional :60 and :30 TV spots to short social shareables, six-second pre-roll ads, and TikToks. Video is central to how we tell stories that move people to think, feel, and act.

What You’ll Do

• Lead video projects from kickoff through final delivery, serving as the primary video owner on assigned accounts
• Edit high-quality video content into final products that get attention, convey emotion and tell a story
• Plan and manage video productions, including pre-production, production, and post
• Optimize video processes to create efficiencies in the team, while empowering junior creatives to take ownership of simpler video tasks
• Collaborate with creative directors, writers, designers, and researchers to develop effective creative solutions
• Guide clients through the video production process, managing expectations, feedback, and deliverables
• Apply behavioral science principles to video content to motivate real-world behavior change

Requirements:
