Responsibilities

• Get out from behind the desk to capture "in the moment" content. Whether it is attending local events, conducting person-on-the-street interviews, or filming on-location skits, you bring a "run-and-gun" agility to production. You are comfortable shooting high-quality mobile video on the fly.
• Ideate and pilot fresh short-form content formats for in-house and partner brands. You will help shape what experimental, social-first storytelling looks like, specifically looking for ways to leverage your local geography and community.
• Be comfortable stepping in front of the camera for TikToks, Reels, and digital segments. You will embody the voice (and sometimes the face) of select shows to bring personality, relatability, and consistency to the screen.
• Write engaging scripts and pre-production materials for short-form video series and experimental content. You move beyond standard "social copy" to craft narratives that hook viewers instantly and drive community action.
• Be a go-to creative partner across the team, ready to jump in wherever content is needed. From writer's room brainstorms to quick-turn shot lists or briefs, you are there to keep things moving and ideas flowing.
• Help ensure every episode and asset feels intentional, aligned with its brand. You care deeply about voice, tone, and aesthetic consistency.
• You are a multi-hyphenate at heart, comfortable wearing different hats and helping wherever the creative process needs a spark: design, short-form video editing, social media copywriting, etc.

Requirements

• Commitment to social change. Accelerate Change is a mission-driven organization focused on social change and social justice, with a focus on communities of color. You have a demonstrated commitment to this work and you’d like to be part of a team of people who do, too.
• 3+ years of production experience: You have a background in TV, studio, or digital media production.
• You understand the discipline of a set and the technical requirements of high-quality video (beyond just iPhone trends).
• Technical proficiency: You know your way around camera gear, audio setups (lavs/handhelds), and lighting. You can troubleshoot technical issues on the fly.
• Location-based agility: You are based in NYC or LA and have a deep knowledge of the local culture and locations.
• Logistical mindset: You are organized and autonomous. You can take a creative brief and turn it into a shoot schedule without hand-holding.
