Video Shooter & Editor

We’re looking for a versatile, mid-level Video Shooter & Editor to join our in-house production team within EF’s Creative and Marketing department. Our team develops, executes, and delivers all video and photography assets for EF Educational Tours and EF Explore America — including paid media campaigns, social content, web and recruitment materials, brand storytelling, and internal communications.
