Works closely with: Social Media Director, Graphic Designers, Web Designers, PR & Content Team
Role Overview
We’re looking for a fast, creative, and narrative-driven Video Designer to bring BCI’s story to life through motion. This role involves both editing raw footage (from interviews, field recordings, and events) and creating original video content — including animated explainers, social video series, and visual assets for web and campaigns.
The ideal candidate understands the intersection of policy, tech, and storytelling — and knows how to shape these ideas into videos that are accessible, emotionally engaging, and brand-consistent.
Key Responsibilities
Content Creation
- Produce short- and long-form video content for BCI’s platforms — including social, website, presentations, and campaigns
- Edit footage from live or virtual events, interviews, and partner sessions
- Create animated explainer videos, infographics, and motion graphics based on scripts and strategic goals
- Develop short-form videos tailored for social platforms (Reels, Stories, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn)
- Translate internal content briefs into storyboards or visual sequences
- Source background music, captions, or voiceover elements where needed
Brand & Storytelling Alignment
- Ensure visual consistency with BCI’s brand identity and video standards
- Collaborate with Graphic Designers and Social Media Director on cohesive visual campaigns
- Communicate complex concepts like blockchain, climate finance, or MRV into simple visual narratives
- Pitch ideas for content series, campaigns, or public-facing storytelling formats
Technical & Collaborative Work
- Work with the Web and Communications teams to embed video into landing pages, blogs, or presentations
- Ensure all content is optimized for platform specs, mobile performance, and accessibility
- Maintain an organized library of video assets, templates, and raw footage
- Support rapid-turnaround edits when events or external developments require real-time content
