Your role at Dynatrace

As we expand our global footprint, we are building a world-class in-house video team to help tell smarter, sharper, and more emotionally resonant stories across platforms.

You’ll help define the next wave of video at one of the most innovative enterprise tech brands in the world — and do it in a way that doesn’t feel like traditional enterprise video. You’ll work under creative leadership that’s pushing for bold, meaningful, unexpected work — and you’ll get to help shape what that looks and feels like. We want someone with an ability to work across the spectrum from high concept to quick social videos. Someone with a POV. Someone who can speak up when something’s off, pitch when something’s missing, and execute when something’s ready to fly. At the foundation, you’re the kind of editor who thinks in tone, not just timelines.

● Version and localize content for multi-platform distribution and global audiences, with an eye toward delivering maximum impact no matter the screen or market.

● Collaborate with motion designers, audio mixers, and producers to elevate the final product — you know when to ask for backup and when to own it yourself.
