Responsibilities
  • Be Visual:
    Translate concepts into visual storytelling
  • Work within MSI-established video and brand guidelines and collaborate with team members to ensure consistency across video executions.
  • Assemble raw footage, mindfully curating stories using sensitive subject matter and real people to ensure their stories feel authentic and not exploited.
  • Mastery of pacing and rhythm—knowing when to let a moment breathe to build tension or elicit empathy.
  • Expertise in crafting "micro-stories"—15-60 second self-contained vignettes from long interviews that convey a complete emotional arc quickly.
  • Understand social platforms and their unique content requirements.
  • Gauge the narrative's marketing funnel placement (Awareness, Consideration, Decision) and adjust the edit's emotional tone to suit viewer intent.
  • Be Conceptual:
    Ability to perform empirical research and extract stories from video interviews.
  • Produce compelling videos driven by an emotional narrative arc from raw interview transcripts and unscripted b-roll.
  • Actively explore new ways of telling brand stories using video.
  • Help conceptualize complex stories with storyboards.
  • Inspire and bring new ideas to the team through creative thought leadership.
  • Be Empathetic:
    Function, adapt and succeed in a constantly changing, fast‑paced environment.
  • Bring a positive attitude and motivation to deliver the highest quality assets.
  • Respond positively and calmly to shifting priorities, demands and timelines.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's Degree in Communication, Journalism, Marketing or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in post‑production, ideally within critical technology, fintech, or product storytelling.
  • In‑depth understanding of Adobe Premiere and Adobe Creative Cloud.
  • Strong understanding of how to work with cross‑functional teams.
  • Ability to produce scripted and non‑scripted content.
  • Experience in After Effects with demonstrated skills in special effects and footage manipulation.
  • Organize and optimize files for all departments through corporate software:
    Frame.io, GSuite, etc.
  • Practical knowledge of basic photographic and video production principles.
  • Ability to research and curate pitch decks.
  • Advanced ability to storyboard complex video and motion stories is a plus.
  • Superior communication skills.
  • Excellent project management skills; organized and able to multitask and work under short deadlines.
  • High energy: a desire to learn and a drive to excel.
  • Passionate and motivated team player.
  • Excellent problem‑solving skills.
  • Demo reel/portfolio required, demonstrating advanced video editing skills.
