Requirements

• Demonstrated portfolio of video and multimedia content — excellent cinematography and editing skills (a keen eye for framing, pacing, and audio composition)
• 3+ years of demonstrated experience with project management and working cross-functionally, with the ability to own a complex, multi-stakeholder production calendar and manage multiple projects to deadline and budget
• Proficiency with industry-standard editing and post-production software such as Adobe Premiere Pro (preferred) and After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent
• Comfortable as a solo producer — operating independently in the field, problem-solving production challenges, and managing the full production cycle from concept through delivery
• Genuine love of the outdoors and climbing — you know the difference between sport and alpine, and you can hold a real conversation with a longtime mountaineer and a newer climber equally well
• Committed to the AAC mission and modeling our core values

Preferred

• Degree in film, video production, or visual communications
• Photography skills as a complement to primary video work
• Ability to draw compelling stories out of people who are not media-trained — members, grantees, donors, and program participants
