• Budget Management: Manage the department’s budget, ensuring cost-effective use of resources while maintaining high production values.

• Technical Oversight: Stay up to date on the latest trends and technologies in video production, ensuring the department uses state-of-the-art equipment and software.

• Strong proficiency with video production software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects).

• Experience managing cross-functional teams and delivering video projects on time and within budget.

• Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills.

• Strong creative vision with a keen eye for detail and an understanding of storytelling techniques.

• Ability to adapt and problem-solve in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.

• Familiarity with video production equipment (cameras, lighting, audio, etc.) and best practices for shoots.

• Bachelor’s degree in Film, Media Production, or related field (preferred).

• Knowledge of motion graphics and animation is a plus.
