Video & Multimedia Producer

American Alpine Club • Golden, CO

2d • $80,500 - $91,500 • Remote

About The Position

The American Alpine Club has an extraordinary story to tell, and the Video & Multimedia Producer plays a central role in bringing that story to life. This newly created position will establish and grow the AAC's video and multimedia storytelling capacity, creating compelling content that strengthens member engagement, expands our reach, deepens donor relationships, and highlights the impact of our programs.

Reporting to the Vice President of Media and collaborating across the organization, the Video & Multimedia Producer develops and manages multimedia production products and the production calendar while serving as a creative partner to departments throughout the AAC. This role works closely with the program, advancement (marketing and development), and leadership teams to identify stories, develop creative concepts, and produce content that advances organizational priorities and reinforces the AAC's mission.
The successful candidate is an entrepreneurial storyteller with strong creative instincts, exceptional collaboration skills, and the ability to translate authentic experiences into compelling visual narratives. They are equally comfortable interviewing longtime members, documenting events in the field, producing polished multimedia content, and managing projects from concept through final delivery. A passion for the climbing community, the outdoors, and the human stories that connect them is essential.

Requirements

• Demonstrated portfolio of video and multimedia content — excellent cinematography and editing skills (a keen eye for framing, pacing, and audio composition)
• 3+ years of demonstrated experience with project management and working cross-functionally, with the ability to own a complex, multi-stakeholder production calendar and manage multiple projects to deadline and budget
• Proficiency with industry-standard editing and post-production software such as Adobe Premiere Pro (preferred) and After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent
• Comfortable as a solo producer — operating independently in the field, problem-solving production challenges, and managing the full production cycle from concept through delivery
• Genuine love of the outdoors and climbing — you know the difference between sport and alpine, and you can hold a real conversation with a longtime mountaineer and a newer climber equally well
• Committed to the AAC mission and modeling our core values

Nice To Haves

• Degree in film, video production, or visual communications
• Photography skills as a complement to primary video work
• Ability to draw compelling stories out of people who are not media-trained — members, grantees, donors, and program participants

• Experience with motion graphics, animation, or multimedia storytelling formats
