Video Content Creator (Contract to Perm)

Bully Pulpit International is an outcomes agency made up of strategists, data scientists, and artists. We come from politics, brands, and government and we communicate without barriers and measure what matters. We have more than 400 team members in six countries and thirteen offices — Berlin, Brussels, Chicago, D.C., London, Los Angeles, New York, Oslo, San Francisco, and Zürich. We apply our unique expertise across strategic communications, public affairs, research, and digital marketing to create sophisticated and customized strategies that make change possible for both American and European clients.

The Impact You Will Make

We are an ambitious, quickly growing team looking for a Video Content Creator who can help us compete on a global scale. You are a social video expert looking for the chance to make an impact for both the biggest brands in the world and the most important, mission-driven organizations fighting for real social change in the US. 

Role Overview: The ideal candidate has 3-5 years of experience producing, filming, and editing social-first video content with a portfolio that showcases on-trend, creative, social-first, visually compelling work. You should be a versatile storyteller with a strong creative POV who can work both independently and collaboratively, creating content for a wide range of clients—from brands to advocacy groups.

What You’ll Do

• Produce, shoot, and edit short- and long-form scripted social content from start to finish—including picture editing, audio mixing, color grading, and graphic treatments—with a focus on creating on-trend, platform-optimized content for social media.
• Edit digital commercial ads for brands and social change organizations
• Collaborate with creative directors, copywriters, and strategists to align on content goals, while contributing a strong creative point of view throughout the process.
• Source, organize, and manage assets, including scripts, brand guidelines, stock footage, music, and other media
• Prep gear or remote recording tools for shoots
• Bonus points if you have motion graphics, audio editing, or color correction chops
• This is a true one-person production role. Candidates must be equally comfortable producing, directing, shooting, interviewing, and editing content independently.

• 3-5 years of experience in video production, ideally at a communications agency.
• You don't just cut clips together; you craft stories with an instinctive sense of rhythm, pacing, and shot selection, evoking emotion through precise cuts, music, and seamless transitions.
• Proven experience as a "one-person band," managing all stages of production—from coordinating pre-production logistics to filming with professional-grade equipment (Black Magic, Alexa, RED) and iPhones, interviewing and directing subjects on set, as well as editing with Adobe Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects)
• A collaborative approach and curious nature. You are open to the ideas and opinions of your teammates and are constantly striving to improve your skill sets and knowledge.
• Bonus points if you’ve produced social content in fast-paced, digital news environments like Vice or Vox
• This role is expected to travel approximately 40-50% of the time and requires flexibility to work across multiple markets, often on short timelines.
• Comfortable operating independently in fast-moving environments with minimal oversight, including traveling solo, conducting interviews, capturing content, producing same-day selects, and delivering first-pass edits under tight deadlines.
• Proven ability to conduct interviews and direct non-professional talent, executives, clinicians, and community stakeholders while making subjects feel comfortable on camera.
• Strong understanding of social-first storytelling and the ability to identify content opportunities in real time while in the field.
• Responsible for organizing footage, creating selects, and delivering polished first-pass edits that can be refined by internal post-production teams when needed.
• Comfortable capturing content across a variety of platforms and camera systems, from cinema cameras to mirrorless, mobile, and creator-style setups depending on project needs.
• Experience working in high-pressure environments where timelines shift rapidly and content needs can emerge with little advance notice.
