[Hiring] Multimedia Storytelling and Content Production Consultant @United Nations Office for Project Services

Role Description

Turn EOF's programmes, partnerships and evidence into clear, compelling multimedia stories for digital, stakeholder and event audiences.

EOF is a global partnership that works with governments and partners to improve education and employment outcomes through outcomes-based financing. EOF communicates across education, employment, systems change and impact investing, and uses evidence and storytelling to explain its programmes, partnerships and results.

EOF produces videos, animations, podcasts, impact stories, photography and digital campaign assets for communications, advocacy, fundraising and thought leadership. Much of this work is managed in-house, but external production support is required when internal capacity is constrained or specialist expertise is needed.

The consultant will provide creative and production support on a project-by-project basis, taking assignments from an agreed brief through to final delivery. Work may range from editing existing footage and materials to developing complete storytelling products from concept, script or storyboard to finished asset.

The arrangement will operate as a framework agreement or retainer for an initial period of 12 months, with possible extension subject to performance and organizational needs. Individual assignments, timelines and budgets will be agreed separately. No minimum volume of work is guaranteed.

Qualifications

• Advanced university degree (Master’s) in multimedia production, film, journalism, communications, animation, design or a related field.
• A Bachelor's degree in multimedia production, film, journalism, communications, animation, design or a related field with 2 additional years of relevant experience may be accepted instead of a Master's degree.
• Professional training or certification in a relevant area of multimedia production or digital storytelling (desired).

Requirements

• A minimum of two (2) years professional experience in multimedia storytelling and content production, supported by a strong portfolio of relevant recent work.
• Demonstrated expertise in one or more relevant areas, such as video editing and production, animation, motion graphics, podcast production, documentary storytelling, photography or written impact storytelling.
• Excellent visual storytelling and narrative development skills, including the ability to make complex policy, development or social-impact topics engaging and accessible.
• Ability to work independently, respond constructively to feedback and deliver high-quality products within tight deadlines.
• Experience working with international organizations, foundations, sustainable or impact investors, or public-sector institutions (desired).
• Experience producing content related to education, employment, international development, systems change or impact investing (desired).

Benefits

• EOF has access to specialist production capacity and receives accurate, audience-focused multimedia products ready for publication or use.
• Each assignment is completed to the agreed creative brief, technical specifications, deadline and budget.
