Thomson Reuters • Frisco, TX

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Short-form video has become the fastest way to build credibility with a professional audience and Thomson Reuters has the expertise to own that space. This role isn't about repurposing press releases into Reels. It's about building a sharper, bolder video identity for Thomson Reuters, one that makes complex legal ideas feel relevant, accessible, and share worthy. We are looking for a Short Form Video Content Creator who is a creative director, storyteller, and platform native. You understand that a 60-second video about AI in law can be just as rigorous as a whitepaper and a lot more likely to be watched. You know how to take a subject matter expert who has never been on camera and turn them into a recurring voice that an audience actually looks forward to seeing. You're not precious about formats, you move fast, you test constantly, and you understand the difference between content that performs and content that just exists. You will own Thomson Reuters Legal short-form video presence end to end, from ideation to publishing to performance. This is a new role for Thomson Reuters and will be part of the organic social media team.
