• Ingest, label, organize, and archive footage, photographs, audio, project files, and final deliverables.
• Maintain clear file naming, metadata, version control, and backup practices.
• Create searchable selects and collections so team members can find relevant media across projects.
• Coordinate with the Director of Visual Content to identify missing assets and keep post-production moving.
• Maintain a consistent standard of quality while adapting each piece to the place, audience, and project goals.

• A strong portfolio or reel demonstrating video editing and photo editing skills.
• Professional experience editing video and photographs for clients, organizations, or campaigns.
• Proficiency in DaVinci Resolve and Capture One, or the ability to work confidently within those project workflows. Experience with Adobe Creative Cloud is welcome.
• Sound judgment in storytelling, color, audio, composition, and platform-specific delivery.
• Experience organizing and managing substantial photo and video libraries.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, communicate progress clearly, and meet deadlines while working remotely.
• Careful attention to detail in both creative work and file management.

Preferred but Not Required

• Experience supporting proposal development teams
