[Hiring] Video Producer @Change.org

Role Description

Change.org is searching for a Video Producer to make quick-hit news videos and explainers that turn petition stories, and the news behind them, into short videos for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. As a key member of our US Communications team, you'll keep pace with the news, test new formats and series, and tell petition stories through the people who started them.

Key Outcomes:

• Make quick-hit videos and explainers for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, fast enough to keep up with the news.
• Bring new formats: pitch and test new video formats with the US social team, including at least one idea for a repeatable series.
• Tell petition stories through the people in them. Work with the people who started each petition to gather their footage and voices, so they lead the story.
• Learn from results: see where viewers drop off and use it to improve hooks, pacing, and formats. Learn what makes a video break out, so more of ours do.
• Present on camera or narrate videos when a story needs it, while the person who started the petition stays at the center.

Qualifications

• 3+ years making short-form social video for a brand, organization, campaign, or media outlet, with regular output.
• A portfolio of short-form videos you made, including at least one on camera or voiced.
• Bonus if you have made explainers, news video, or YouTube content.
• Bonus if you closely follow or are well-versed in the conservative social media space.

Requirements

• Short-form video craft: You know how to hook someone in the first two seconds, hold them to the end, and tell the story with the sound off. You make videos that fit each platform it runs on: TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. You edit fast in tools like Descript and Adobe Creative Cloud and use AI to speed up your work.
• Creative experimentation: You bring your own format and series ideas, test them, and help turn what works into a series we can repeat. You study other accounts, know which formats and creative approaches are breaking through and why, and can adapt them for petition stories on our channels.
• Storytelling and editorial judgment: You find the human story in a petition and tell it clearly and accurately, fast. You know the US news cycle well enough to explain a story quickly and get the facts right. You can guide the person who started a petition through filming themselves or a short remote interview, and come away with something usable.
• Comfort on camera and on mic: You're comfortable presenting or voicing a video when the story needs it.
• Working across differences: You frame petition stories neutrally, so someone who disagrees with a petition still sees Change.org as an open platform, and you tell those stories in ways that reach people across the political spectrum. You're willing to support campaigns that follow our community guidelines, even if you personally disagree with them.
• Collaboration: You take feedback well, revise fast, and work closely with the US social team on what to make next.
• AI fluency: You start most of your video work with AI, from scripting to first cuts and captions, and can speak specifically to what's worked and what hasn't. You stay curious about new tools for video production and know when to trust what AI gives you and when to override it.
