OPB is seeking two multi-platform video creators to help OPB share stories of inspiration and creativity across the Pacific Northwest. This region is home to independent thinkers, artists, resourceful problem solvers, and folks creating a better future – one community at a time. We’re looking for inspired video makers to find interesting people, and produce great content about them that connects communities – both rural and urban – through stories of creativity, ingenuity and entrepreneurial risk taking.

If you love being on the road, exploring this vast, diverse region and meeting fascinating people doing interesting things, this role might be a good fit. If you also love all aspects of making videos, from reporting to writing to shooting, editing and sharing, even better. Most importantly, if you’re tired of doom scrolling and want to help feed and inspire the PNW’s creative side, this role could be the perfect fit.
