Ensure consistent communication throughout each project, scouting locations, coordinating talent, securing release forms, and operating and testing all necessary production equipment.
Guide other departments and student groups on how to create on‑brand content independently.
Manage all aspects of production logistics, directing various types of shoots, and overseeing post‑production editing including video, sound, motion graphics, and effects.
Ensure safety protocols on set and stay current on industry trends, editing styles, and content platforms.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a commitment to exceptional customer service.
Proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite—especially Premiere, Photoshop, and Lightroom—is essential.
Hands‑on experience using a range of professional equipment, including Canon 5D DSLR, GoPro Hero 11, Rokinon cine‑lenses, DJI Ronin stabilizers, LED lighting kits, green‑screen studios, and professional audio tools.
Solid grasp of video production workflows, from pre‑production and scripting to studio and field shooting, lighting, editing, and final output.
Highly organized, capable of managing multiple projects under pressure, and comfortable leading production teams.
