Plot Thickens: Job Description — Senior Video Storyteller

You see the world through a creative lens — color, rhythm, emotion and sound.

You’re the kind of storyteller who can take an idea and make it move. Literally.

You love transforming concepts into visuals that connect with people, spark curiosity and make brands shine. You’re curious about technology, trends, and how video storytelling keeps evolving in the digital age. You’re energized by experimenting, learning, and pushing your craft one frame at a time.

If this sounds like your story — keep reading.

Create Short-Form Video Magic

• Produce short‑form video content for social platforms — motion graphics, live‑action edits, 2D animation and more.
• Contribute to brand videos, explainers and technical videos from concept through final delivery.
• Edit live‑action footage and event highlights, with occasional on‑site photo/video shooting.

Support Integrated Creative Work

Bring Stories to Life Through Visual Craft

Embrace Innovation and Emerging Tools

• Stay curious about AI techniques, generative video tools and new storytelling formats.
• Experiment with new software, workflows and creative methods to expand what’s possible in video.

Attributes of the Protagonist (That’s You)

• Someone who naturally spots stories hiding in small details — moments others often miss.
• Constantly experimenting with new tech, tools and video trends to expand what’s possible.
• Equally comfortable shaping big ideas and refining the final cut with precision.
• Drawn to storytelling through rhythm, movement and sound — where emotion meets craft.
• Thrives in open, collaborative spaces where ideas evolve through conversation.
• Brings positive energy to the team, helping creative ideas move from concept to reality.
