About The Position

WPIX is seeking a creative storyteller with a sharp eye for visuals and a passion for bringing ideas to life through motion. This role sits at the intersection of videography, editing, and digital strategy. The perfect candidate is someone who thrives on variety and wants to produce work that moves people. You'll be hands-on in every stage of production, from concept development to shooting, editing, and final delivery. Our projects range from creative deep-dives and branded campaigns to breaking news. You'll collaborate closely with producers, clients, and creative teams to shape stories that resonate.
