Our Team
Our producers work across all of this, collaborating directly with leading scientists, doctors, community leaders and more, to give them a voice in sharing the game-changing work that the rest of the world will be talking about in the months or years to come.
We do this by producing a series of in-depth interviews, promos and packaged stories on site and daily at conferences across the country, making five-minute documentary style videos at some of the biggest institutions and research facilities in the world, and delivering podcasts and long form documentaries on a wide range of issues.
We aim to connect with a diverse range of people wherever they’re consuming content – producing videos for TV, YouTube, Instagram anywhere people are hungry for content.
The Role
We’re initially looking for someone to join our team to pre-produce and edit our videos, as well as heading out across the country to shoot and edit content at some of our major conferences.
You’ll be based at our Georgetown, Washington DC office, with hybrid working options available, working closely with our experienced producers to learn the role and build up your skillset in scheduling, outlining, question writing, shooting and editing videos.
An aptitude for some or all of these is great, so please make sure to share a showreel with examples of work you’ve done and to confirm that you’re available for travel.
To fill this role you should:
● Have an active interest in some or all of the subject areas we work in;
● Have a drive to deliver polished videos within tight deadlines;
● Be highly organised and disciplined in managing your own schedule.
● Be meticulous and detail oriented in shooting and editing high quality, varied footage.
We would be offering a starting salary of $55,000 pa, with healthcare available. We’d begin with a trial period of two months, with the aim to bring someone on permanently after this.
We’re excited to hear from you, and looking forward to welcoming new talent to our team. Please get in touch with examples of your work and your salary expectations, and reach out if you have any questions.
