OVERVIEW

Every day, consumers face overwhelming choices regarding products and services. We’re looking for a talented video producer to help us break through the algorithmic noise on social media by creating videos that entertain and inspire people to sign up for our unbiased and trustworthy ratings and reviews.

You’ll report to the Associate Director, Social Media to script, shoot, and edit social videos for our fastest-growing social channels, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.  You’ll work closely with our video production team and CR subject matter experts, including our content creators, writers, lab technicians, and policy advocates. 

If your videos have generated awareness and action among viewers, we can’t wait to see your application and samples of your work (required).

Under our CRFlex program, this is a hybrid position and is eligible for remote work up to 80%. The successful candidate must reside within 75 miles of Yonkers with ability to travel to NYC as needed.

This position is not eligible for sponsorship.

How You’ll Make An Impact:

As a nonprofit, members fund CR’s mission to help consumers make informed choices and hold companies accountable. Reaching and engaging audiences where they are is critical to our success. In the process, you’ll help us diversify our membership portfolio to make the marketplace safer for all consumers.

On a regular basis, you will:

  • Generate short and long-form ideas for digital videos and broadcast news reports. Work closely with all CR stakeholders, including Editorial, Advocacy, Labs, Survey, & Communications, to produce, script, shoot, and edit video.
  • Conceive and execute compelling visual storytelling techniques, including graphics and text, user-generated content, and other elements (self-created or AI-assisted). 
  • Coordinate with appropriate stakeholders in Tech, Editorial, Survey, and Legal.
  • Using production management software, coordinate with social and video team managers to meet all production and publication deadlines.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
