- Lead motion graphics and animation work using tools such as After Effects, Lottie Creator, Rive, or Cinema 4D.
- Explore and apply responsible AI‑powered video and editing tools (e.g., Adobe Firefly, Runway, Descript, Premiere Pro AI features), AI writing/content tools (e.g., Claude), and AI voice/audio tools (e.g., ElevenLabs) to improve production efficiency.
- Lead technical research for the recommendation of new equipment, software, and supplies, grounding recommendations in demonstrated production need, interoperability with existing systems, current inventory, cost, and business value.
- Bachelor's degree in media production or a related field with 5+ years of relevant experience, or an Associate degree with 7+ years of relevant experience.
- Strong graphic design skills and proficiency with tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, or InDesign.

- Experience with YouTube, Podcasting, TV Production, Radio Production, or Documentary Film.
- Familiarity with AI‑powered video/editing tools (e.g., Adobe Firefly, Runway, Descript, or generative AI features within Premiere Pro), AI writing/content assistants (e.g., Claude, Copilot, Gemini), and AI voice generation tools (e.g., ElevenLabs).
- Familiarity with project management and workflow automation tools such as Microsoft Lists and Power Automate, as well as core Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).
