About The Position

At Henkel, you’ll be part of an organization that’s shaping the future through innovation, sustainability and collaboration. With our trusted brands like Persil®, ‘all®, Loctite®, Snuggle®, and Schwarzkopf® and our cutting-edge technologies, you’ll have countless opportunities to explore new paths and grow. This position is with our Adhesive Technologies business unit – where we empower our people to transform industries and provide our customers with a competitive advantage through adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. An in-house video producer and editor is a versatile creative professional responsible for the entire lifecycle of a video project—from initial concept and filming to final post-production and distribution.

This role is within a broader creative team but is the only one focused on video creation.
