Why We Need You

We are seeking a dynamic Digital Content Producer to contribute to our social video production efforts and increase audience engagement with science content across various social and digital platforms. This position calls for strong editorial judgment, video production expertise, and thorough knowledge of social media best practices. Through innovative storytelling approaches, this role will amplify the Museum’s digital reach and ensure our social media presence stays engaging, timely, and impactful.

• Develop clever ways to illustrate complex science concepts through video. Own consistent shooting and editing style for video franchises. 

• Own pre-production, including research and scripting as well as shooting live events for delivery via social channels, classrooms, and beyond. These events will also be edited into short, medium, and long form videos for distribution. 

• Deliver polished edits adhering to brand voice that illustrate a keen understanding of what works on social media and for our audience. 

• Capture interviews with guest scientists, celebrities, politicians, and other VIPs during both scheduled and spontaneous visits to the Museum. 

• Work with the Director of MoS studios to maintain our production equipment and studio space.
