About The Position

Salesforce Global Communications is hiring a Video Editor/Videographer with hands-on experience editing multiple parallel projects across a range of topics and formats. This person will be responsible for managing all post-production elements for videos that include self-shot executive messages, creative social-style interviews, video podcasts and event/program sizzle reels and on-site customer interviews. The candidate needs to be scrappy and enthusiastic, someone who loves working in a collaborative environment with both technical and non-technical comms team members. They are as comfortable taking the seed of an idea and bringing it to life, as they are following a fully baked script to ensure it hits all agreed-upon messaging and brand goals. Technically, they need to be able to work with live-action video and audio, as well as create and implement dynamic motion graphics and visual effects. This means proficiency in both Adobe Premiere and After Effects, with a basic knowledge of sound design and color correction via automated tools. The majority of this role is focused specifically on editing and post-production, but this individual must also be a skilled videographer, capable of shooting high-quality video on-site at various company and industry events and procuring necessary camera, lighting and audio equipment. Additionally, they must be comfortable ordering and setting up necessary equipment to build a remote edit bay and implement best practices for ingesting and cataloguing media assets. This individual must also develop trusted relationships with key partners and stakeholders and will serve as a go-to resource for all video projects happening within the Global Communications teams. In this role they will be responsible for setting up new workflows for data storage, instructing non-technical team members on how to capture and share footage, and working with the Senior Producer to create and manage an ongoing edit calendar. This person will also provide on-set guidance during production and shoots to ensure footage meets editorial needs. Desired Characteristics: The Video Editor is an experienced technical editor able to work across styles and formats. They are comfortable executing smaller projects with little oversight, but also able to collaborate on larger projects as needed. They are a creator, a builder and a problem solver. They are passionate about all things video, constantly following the latest social trends and bringing fresh ideas about how we can reach our audiences with creative video content.
