About The Position

We’re looking for a fast, creative, and narrative-driven Video Designer to bring BCI’s story to life through motion. This role involves both editing raw footage (from interviews, field recordings, and events) and creating original video content — including animated explainers, social video series, and visual assets for web and campaigns. The ideal candidate understands the intersection of policy, tech, and storytelling — and knows how to shape these ideas into videos that are accessible, emotionally engaging, and brand-consistent.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience in video editing and motion design
• Ability to move quickly from idea to execution, with a collaborative and solutions-oriented mindset
• Strong visual instincts, sense of pacing, and storytelling structure
• Comfort working across multiple projects simultaneously and meeting quick deadlines
• Passion for climate action, sustainability, or technology storytelling
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve
• Familiarity with quick-turn tools (Adobe Express, Canva, or CapCut)
• Familiarity with cloud collaboration tools (Trello, Teams)
• Please include work samples showing a range of formats — social video, explainer, and interview/recap edits

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Produce short- and long-form video content for BCI’s platforms — including social, website, presentations, and campaigns
• Edit footage from live or virtual events, interviews, and partner sessions
• Create animated explainer videos, infographics, and motion graphics based on scripts and strategic goals
• Develop short-form videos tailored for social platforms (Reels, Stories, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn)
• Translate internal content briefs into storyboards or visual sequences
• Source background music, captions, or voiceover elements where needed
• Ensure visual consistency with BCI’s brand identity and video standards
• Collaborate with Graphic Designers and Social Media Director on cohesive visual campaigns
• Communicate complex concepts like blockchain, climate finance, or MRV into simple visual narratives
• Pitch ideas for content series, campaigns, or public-facing storytelling formats
• Work with the Web and Communications teams to embed video into landing pages, blogs, or presentations
• Ensure all content is optimized for platform specs, mobile performance, and accessibility
• Maintain an organized library of video assets, templates, and raw footage
• Support rapid-turnaround edits when events or external developments require real-time content
