About The Position

KERA is seeking a creative, fast-moving storyteller who can pick up a camera, find the shot, and turn it into something people want to watch, then repeat the process for multiple brands under the KERA family. The Multimedia Producer will co-produce and direct with KERA colleagues across the organization. This individual will shoot and edit original content across all of KERA's brands including multi-media promotional spots, television fundraising campaigns, and stories that bring our community to life. The ideal candidate is just as comfortable directing a shoot in the field as they are turning around a polished edit on a tight deadline. This individual will think like a marketer, not just an editor, and recognize that every cut serves the story and the brand. KERA welcomes applicants who have never worked in a television setting. This position is classified as FLSA exempt and is not eligible for overtime. The Multimedia Producer reports to the Creative Director and is a member of the Creative Services team.
